Taste Notes
This was my first attempt at anything lower than 10-13% alcohol. It came out to be around 7% in the end. Very good chilled and poured into a glass.
Fruity with a hint of Chai from the tea. NOTE on the tea infusion, boil the water into a tea, then add it, because some tea bags might have bacteria and such that can contaminate your brew.Notes

GOFERM AND STIR PLATE TO PREP THE YEAST AFTER DRILL WAND TO OXYGENATE. WILL USE TOSNA PROTOCOL ON THIS WITH FERMAID-O.
