I recently made a wit with grey grey tea, I just thew 10 tea bags into the bottling bucket and let them infuse for 10 minutes. From what I've read you don't want to let them soak for too long or you will get too many tannins.
I tea smoked a duck a couple of months ago I didn't get it as smokey as I'd like. I doubt that the unique character of the earl grey would carry through in smoke form.
So my earl grey wit is in the bottles now. I got better efficiency than planed and boiled of more than planned so it ended up having an OG 0f 1.067 so it's more of an imperial wit, It finished at 1.009. I used wyeast 3944 Belgian wit yeast.

25kg of malt for 100 000W you won't find a better deal in Korea. The HBK forums (link posted by revvy) have lots of info on finding what you need. There's really no need to improvise...
I was walking through a forest in northern Europe and I kept seeing animals with the address of this site spray painted on their side. I figured I should join and see what it was about, next thing I knew I was drunk on beer I made myself and I was living in south Korea.

I'm making a wit at the moment that I plan on spiking with some earl grey at bottleing. We tried a couple of variations of tea mixed with a commercial wit to see what we like best and our favorite was a tea made with a cold steep for about 10 minutes so I'm going to try something like that. Not...
