I love alcoholic Ice team, one of my favourite things to do is for a 4lt (~1 gallon-ish) batch is brew up 2lts of really strong tea and combine it with 2lt of some sort of juice, usually apple + something else, and then add extra sugar depending on desired strength. ferment it out and bottle condition to a high fizz (4.5 co2 vol). love it!!!
Just kegged this today. Local stores only had rock melon, So I used that. Poured a glass off straight after kegging. Pretty tasty. I'm looking forward to it being fully carbed
Never thought about green tea until gound your videos and cantaloupe sounds like a winner i was thinking that was a honeydew which also i think might be fun and differentbthanks for the ideas
Temperatures are starting to rise around here and I was starting to think about brewing some hard tea, and here you are dropping the perfect recipe, keep up the great work!
@@TheBruSho awesome. I got a lot in the pantry and some melons as well. I usually don't use anything but bread yeast because in my opinion, I get get the yeasty flavor but also a good amount of carbonation
I love iced green tea, melon is my favorite fruit, and who doesnt like booze? Im making a batch of this today, melon is in season where I live and summer just started here :) Thanks Trent
this is exactly what i needed, but i only have a few bottles, a box of ilex paraguayensis, rubber bands, that plastic thing for food, some pots a few baloons, brown sugar, brandless dry yeast AND A DREAM yeah, my workplace will look like the season one of breaking bad, but that aint never stopped me
I love your video's, really appreciate whole content you create. It's different then others and this is what I really love - not only beer (but I am homebrewer), nice combo's of ingredients, lot's of knowladge and you inspired me to make some other stuff then only beer so I'm going to use more my test 5l keg. Now I am fighting with myself what to prepare as third drink for meeting with my friends out of the city - I think will be some Hard Tea with some type of fruits. And now I am struggling because to stabilize fruits I'm looking again on every video to check where was more info about it :D So now I have a request to You - could you prepare separate video about stabilization in the same format like you did about yeast nutrients? Would be awesome for future to everyone to find it quickly! Maybe also with some recipe on sour beer with lots of fruit with stabilization? Thanks again for your work. Cheers from Poland!
You're the best-est. All the prayers from India 🇮🇳 I wish you someday try the Kajri cultivar of Musk Melons someday for your Cantaloupe replacement, it's fragrance would radiate everywhere.
This looks amazing Trent, great job!! I really never thought to ferment a tea by adding some fermentable sugar. Iced tea is our favorite summer drink and we plan on making something like this one day. Best, David and Rachel from CFS!
Looos great, I currently have this fermenting away. I have kegs but would the fruit not go bad sitting in the keg eventually? I did a double batch so it may take a while to get through it!
Would you consider more tea next time for a stronger tea flavor after fermentation? I'm going to try an organic ginger peach green tea bag. Hoping the ginger & peach flavors from the brewed tea carry over after fermentation. Going to start it now!
Can you confirm if the is melon cantaloupe? I’ve only ever seen orange cantaloupe. This looks like honeydew. Definitely going to give this a go, so just want to make sure I use the right melon! Thanks
@@TheBruSho thank you, that makes a lot more sense lol! Can’t wait to make this. My plan is to do honey instead of the sugar. Any thoughts on the idea of a small dry hop with something like Citra?
@@TheBruSho ok, great, thanks. I saw your video on the peach version of this from a while back, id use peach but my peach tree is currently past the time frame where you get fruit, maybe at the end of this year begining of next, I'll make it with my peaches, I usualy give them to my neighbours but not gonna happen next time haha. they are the most glorious white flesh peaches. But I want to make a 3gal brew of this soon so store bought mangoes it is! Lol.
Generally no if you are adding to a keg, in my experience the yeast is strong and plentiful to overpower anything that might come in, and the colder temps keep things at bay, but if you want to sterilize the fruit before adding you can totally do that to be safe.
