In my attempt to ferment tea WITHOUT making kombucha, I made what I will call tea beer. I was aiming for tea wine to be honest, but I’m not mad with the result.
How did I do it:
I basically made really strong green tea- added sugar, yeast nutrient, and yeast energizer and let it sit for about 50 days. I tasted it after 30 days and it tasted a lot like dish water but I opened up a bottle of it tonight and its surprisingly interesting. I used cider yeast bot beer yeast and no hops but its tasty.
Taste is like a really light wheat beer with a hoppy green-ness that is more green and less hoppy. Part of me wonders if its not 12% ABV tho...
I made a gallon and a liter of this and im drinking the liter now. I have to figure out the secondary ferment of this brew but so far the results pretty neat!
