4 large bags of black tea is what I'm remembering. It was boiled with the extra water for a partial boil extract batch.

I just had the first taste of my tea porter. It has only been in the bottle 6 days; naughty me. My report is that at this time I cannot distinguish any clear tea flavors or bitterness. I do think that a different method of delivery or at least twice as much as I used would be something to try in...

I was curious how tea would manifest itself in beer, as opposed to coffee, was my point of comparison. I'm looking for an extra and different bitterness. Like I said, it hasn't been bottled yet. There is a physical distance between me and this beer at the moment otherwise I probably would have...

Thank you Lars. I may bottle half with molasses and half with dextrose. What is your Spoonful Scotch 80 Shilling?

I am going to bottle a porter in the next week that I added molasses to. I am wondering if anybody could answer or direct me to a resource for converting the priming potential/fermentability of blackstrap molasses versus corn sugar. I need to know how much molasses to add to a five gallon batch...

My homework is not done! But don't worry, it will get done. At least this week. Then my amber ale will be ready for sampling. Thank you for the welcome.

Hello from Fayetteville, AR. I've wanted to start homebrewing for six months or more and finally did after moving here to AR. My third batch is in primary and two are bottled. They have all been extract brews, the first was a kit, and the other two were based off of lots of looking at recipes...
