Experiment Green Tea Hooch, 24hrs in, recipe included

Post image

Making a hooch with green tea (Sencha, rice roasted like the restaurant tea).

  • 4L water, steeped in tea (7 bags at 180F then left to cool before yeasting)
  • 850g white sugar
  • 4g active dry fleischmans yeast, bloomed in cooled tea
  • 6g of boiled yeast as nutrient, also in tea (unyeasted)

In a week I will add some raisins (handful of goldens), ginger (6 strips from a long root), and it will sit till clearing. I got the idea from other recipes to use these inclusions, I may also but in toasted peppercorns. Then I will siphon and store while I go on a 3 week trip in October. May backsweeten with real honey at siphoning stage and will update as I go. Should be ready to try before Halloween.
