So I’m making hard tea, and my starting gravity turned out very high.
I’ll walk you through my steps to see if you can point out my errors. I have done a lot of distillation before, and some beer brewing, but this is my first try of this type of fermentation.
What I did:
Made 1 gallon of concentrated green tea
Mixed 6.5 lbs of cane sugar with it (I’m highly allergic to corn sugar, so I cannot use that, which is the primary reason for me even trying this)
Added another 5 gallons of water
Cooled it down
Added yeast nutrients
Gravity reading came out at 1.087
