That sounds fantastic. Thanks for the recipe. I'm gonna have to try this.

Curious where you got licorice root? Do you use real absinthe? I'd love to get to see the green fairy but I'm not so sure you can get the legit stuff in the us.

I'm getting kind of tipsy reading it. Sounds quite interesting.

That's sounds amazing, but I am curious about your reasoning behind the addition of Jägermeister.

Also, sorry for being an asshole.

eh, I tasted the herbal teal near the end of the brew and thought it was still too weak. Jager was in the neighborhood of the flavor I was going for so it was a hail-mary. I think it worked but I might back off a bit and think about what'd be better.

Ever brewed yourself?

(it's ok man I just like to connect on my terms... I'm like a cat that way) (I truly would fund your way down here to explore when you're ready)

If the flavor/texture is too weak, you're probably diluting it with too much water. Maybe back off on the water?

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

Maybe. It was getting down to syrup level. So I added water to keep it liquid.

Maybe add your tea after fermentation is done? That can drive off a lot of flavors

Great post ! Great sub ! Great content !

Subscribed.

Yeah it seemed the most relevant sub! Not many here but I bet there are a handful of brewers here.

That FG is quite high for finishing, I hope you don’t have bottle bombs. Be careful if you capped them, fermentation can start again - just like Hank in Breaking Bad.

I... Do not want a sample. I hope you like it though. I used to brew quite a bit but have not for a long while now.
