It was rather sweet could detect the lemon but not that much I think it would have come through better if it was not so sweet. I feel it was hard to judge the tea strength due to the sweetness. I didn't have much just like a sip or two.

So I just went all out and went ahead a made 5 gallons of this yesterday since nothing else to do during the day, so it better come out well. I'll figure out the sweetening when the time comes. Anyway, here is what I did. Brewed 03/17/10 Dissolved 5 pounds of sugar in 5 gallons of water...

Oh I have heard of sweet tea before, I dated a girl who was originally from NC for like two years. Can't say I was ever fond of it though... I met the Blue agave syrup I never ehard of though I suppose that's what they make tequila out of. Anyway I think I'll take the consensus and try back...

hmmm interesting idea can't say I have ever had that before.

Well thanks for the input I would not have thought of the hops that's probably a good idea. I was not planning on making it carbonated so I could just sweeten it to taste afterward sounds like a good idea for at least the first batch. I think I am going to just try one gallon first to see how...

So recently I came up with the idea of trying to make some homemade hard ice tea. But I have not seen any threads on here about it, which was my first sign it might be a bad idea... Basically my plan is to dissolve some sugar in water; boil it for a little while add some yeast and nutrient...

Opps I see I put this into the recipe section instead of the general forum. Wish I knew how to move it.

At the end of August I made mead for the first time. I have never even had mead before. But for some reason it seemed like a good idea, i'll find out if I was right or not when I finally try them. I do have some brewing experience with beer and hard cider. I wanted to try and get a wide...

Alright thanks guys, I'll just leave it alone then for a while and see how it tastes later. I did have a little when i moved it to the secondary. It was kind of sour not that I was expecting it to be good then. I guess I was just not expecting the gravity to drop so much. I used Wyeast 3068...

So I made my cider as described above with 5 gallons cider and two pounds brown sugar and a few spices. Yesterday I took it off the yeast into a secondary after 23 days and checked the gravity it was down to .994. my OG was 1.064. Even though I was trying to go for a dryer cider I am afraid...

Thank you, I do have a starter and was planing on adding 2 pounds of brown sugar to a 5 gallon batch. I don't know if that really qualifies as a lot of sugar.

I am planing on making my first cider ever this weekend, and I just have one question. Should I aerate it with my fish tank aerator and stone like beer or not. I have read a bunch of threads and have not come across this being mentioned. Though a couple people have mentioned just to stir it...

I have my first batch or a fruit beer in my secondary. Its a strawberry wheat (I was going to make a cherry wheat but I had an incident:off:) Anyway, there seems to be a lot of debate on when you should add your fruit I added mine into the secondary after 7 days in the primary. However I...
