I just made this one (but with honey instead of sugar) as my very first ferment, and I'm so glad I did 😋 it is delicious!!! On a hot summers day, this hits just the right spot.👌
Just getting into homebrewing and I'm about 10 batches into this fabulous hobby! Just finished watching this while I'm brewing this beverage! Thanks for showing all of us hobbiests how to ferment different things into alcohol! Cheers
Hell yes! I can't wait to try this! Personally, I don't even like regular seltzer so hard seltzer is a huge no for me (I've had enough of them to know I'm not a fan). This Hard Tea might be a fantastic option for this Texas heat!
Congratulations. You are very fun to watch. I’ve been brewing tea all wrong for many years. Who knew…Thanks so much for teaching an old dog new tricks…
All my primary fermenter are in storage right now. But just scored 3 free 11.4 l (just over 3 gallon) fermenter from the local smoothy shop. Time to try this one
Thanks for suggesting this video. I think I'm gonna try making a hard tea when the weekend rolls around, but I'm gonna use hibiscus tea and add some peaches and tart cherries into secondary. Hibiscus and tart cherry has become my favorite combo, adding some peach might make it even better.
Oh yes ! I’ve been waiting for this, I think I will be experimenting with teas in the near future, thanks and cheers 🍻 🍻🤙🏼 . Ps. I love the tasting parts in brew videos, keep them coming 🍻
Hi BruSho... thanks for some high quality videos that are informative. I brewed this recipe without the peaches and the green tea without the melon to taste the base product; both taste a bit yeasty (Safale 05). What do you think happened? I will continue with the black tea and refine it for my own tastes. Thanks again!
I'm really enjoying the series and look forward to trying them all! One question regarding the Campden tablets, do you prefer using sodium or potassium metabisulfite?
This looks amazing and I started a batch and ordered the mini keg that you linked. But I’m a newbie and can’t figure out how to use the keg (it doesn’t come with instructions). Any chance that you can recommend a quick tutorial?
Hi I am a new homebrewer and this is my 2nd ever brew. Issue I am having is my airlock isnt bubbling and I tried to take a specific gravity 3 days in and it us higher then original specific gravity. Another note the liquid I used to check specific gravity was bubbling a little kinda like when u pour beer and let it sit specific theirs no foam just bubbles forming from the bottom. It does taste off or anything. I just opened the lid and it seems to be bubbling a fair amount lots of little bubbles. Is my airlock faulty? Any thoughts as to why all this is happening? Love ur channel btw 😊
Hey! So some thoughts.. the airlock might not be bubbling if it isn’t a full seal, if your fermenting in a bucket there might be a gap In the lid? It’s ok if so just maybe try to fix that for the next time. And for gravity, are you taking a measurement with a refractometer? If so you need to use an online conversion calculator to get an accurate reading once fermentation starts. If you’re noticing some fizz or activity the gravity should be dropping.
@TheBruSho it's meant to be an airtight bucket but yes that may just be it. But I am using a hydrometer and I have heard sometimes the bubbles during fermentation can make the hydrometer float higher so I guess wait for more time till bubbling slows down to get a more accurate measurement?
@@TheBruSho I have a lot of beer recipes lined up. Probably next year. Will do a dry Japanese lager with pilsner malt and rice, so that's the closest one...
You don't have to stabilize, especially if you're kegging, you can just add it in and as long as your kegerator is cold it will keep re-fermentation from happening, or at least really prolong the time it takes to ferment out the sugars.
@@TheBruSho I've not got keg so would be just bucket infusion then bottling. Would still not need to? And just add bit sugar to carbonate? Or should I not stabilise and let the fruit sugars carbonate? Giving this one a go and sake soon, keen to try peach sake but working out atm lol
@@mathewgodfray6547 If you plan to bottle then don't stabilize, I would just do the infusion in your bucket, let the sugars from the peaches ferment out then proceed to bottle like normally.
I just kegged my 5 gallon batch tonight. After thinking about it I wish I would have just added the fruit to the fermenter and not the keg. But oh well, what's done is done.
After brewing many ciders, meads hard lemonade etc, I decided a long time ago I would just stick with beer brewing. But this looks pretty delicious and easy, I'm going to have to give this a try. Peach is a great idea for this Brew. Did you get that color solely from the frozen peaches? Almost looks like it's mixed with peach juice
Actually I think most of the color comes from the tea. I am going to be trying with other fruits to see how they impact color. Let me know if you try making it!
Thanks for getting my girlfriend interested in homebrewing! Your well made cute homebrewing vids really make it an welcoming hobby!
That’s amazing, I love hearing that! Thank you!

Oh yeah man give it a try, my wife is obsessed. We just ran out and she said I need to have this at the ready for the summer heat
Good production, clear and easy to understand. The final product looks great!
This looks so refreshing! Love the Willow cameo and seeing more of you. And congrats on hitting 5k!!!
Thank you!! 🍻
@Jennifer M 😁
Congratulations. You are very fun to watch. I’ve been brewing tea all wrong for many years. Who knew…Thanks so much for teaching an old dog new tricks…
Thank you so much!
Another great video - you're video are tight! Great job! Nice editing and I lovely brew idea.
Rad!!! Trying this one out today!! Digging the Pink Floyd playing cards and the way to did the tasting, you talked on camera:)
Thank you! You and others inspired me to put myself out there and be on cam, so thank you! (And yeah love those cards!)
Awesome I love easy stuff, I was today years old when I found out that white tea is a thing.
Haha! Yeah there are a bunch of teas out there. Got to experiment with them
All my primary fermenter are in storage right now. But just scored 3 free 11.4 l (just over 3 gallon) fermenter from the local smoothy shop. Time to try this one
Trent! Another great video my man. This is definitely something I'll be brewing. Keep'em coming amigo...
Thanks buddy!
I'm going to do this one, thanks for the idea!
Love your videos mate and getting more ideas of what to brew at home! Thanks for taking the time to make them! All the way from Western Australia :)
Awesome I’m glad you are enjoying them! Thanks for watching! 🍻
Well this sounds and looks just fabulous. Love the card game!
Haha thank you! 🍻
I might try rooibos for this. Sounds so easy.
That’s a great idea!
I wonder if you can use regular red star bread yeast?
How would you scale this up for at least 5 gallons, I want to take this to a party and I’m
Sure it’ll dry up quick.
I have a good friend that hates craft beer but twisted tea is his thing. This is a great way to brew stuff that people like him can enjoy!
Yeah for sure! Twisted tea is a bit more sweet than what I made but you could easily make it sweet for him
Looks great!!! I’m thinking about using your recipe for my next sparkling wine batch!!
I’m mixing fresh frozen raspberries and frozen peaches from the store in my new brew bucket! Think I’ll make it a 3 gallon batch.
Man this looks tasty! I know what I'm brewing this weekend.
Awesome happy brewing!
When do i add the peach if i dont have a keg?

@@TheBruSho breaking the 4th wall or I mean the cringe wall 😅 🍻🍻🤙🏼
Very cool! I gotta try this. 🍻
Do it, and send me some pics if you do!
I have done this with Jasmine and Earl Gray teas.
That sounds amazing!
This looks delicious

Are you not worried about bacteria on the frozen fruit?
No not really when kegging since the temps of the kegerator keep things cool enough but if you think it will be an issue you can pasteurize it first
Can you use some kind of lemon juice or something to make Arnold Palmer flavor
Yeah that would be an awesome combo!

I have a How to Keg video on this channel. Goes over the basics and how it works!
Thank you so much it was very helpful. The only thing I still can’t figure out is how to connect the co2 bottle to it.

Beginner here,
If I were to use this recipe and then bottle at the end would I add the peaches before the fermenting process or after?
I would add them during fermentation to make sure all the sugars fully ferment out before bottling
Might be my next brew!
Would like to aim for white tea peach for first one. What would you recommend if i wanted % to be ~8.5. Just more sugar?
Yeah more sugar = more alcohol. But too much and it can become very thin and harsh. But 8.5 should be ok
the streak continues!
Choo choo 🚂
I would for sure drink this 🍻
Dang I should have sent ya some! Next time Ill make a bigger batch!
Can you add honey
If I was to bottle how long would I leave it to mature before drinking ?
Doesn’t need any maturing but if you wanted to bottle condition it that would take 2 weeks to reach full carbonation
I would do this, instead of using sugar, using a low temp. mash of pilsner malt and flaked rice... that would be awesome
Very interesting idea! LMK if you do!
@@TheBruSho I have a lot of beer recipes lined up. Probably next year. Will do a dry Japanese lager with pilsner malt and rice, so that's the closest one...
How long does it last after making? Like if I keep the final product in the fridge will it last longer
Yeah definitely. Probably good for a year in the fridge. But I’m guessing the sooner you drink it the better it will taste
Could this translate to a cold brew coffee? Plenty of DAP and Voss laying around anyway!
Do it!! Let me know how it turns out!
Do you have to stabilize it then add fruit or is that only if back sweeten?
You don't have to stabilize, especially if you're kegging, you can just add it in and as long as your kegerator is cold it will keep re-fermentation from happening, or at least really prolong the time it takes to ferment out the sugars.

Great recipe! Do you leave the peaches in the keg after the 7 days, or do you remove the bag?
I just keep them in there the whole time but you could try fishing them out if you want.
@@TheBruSho great, thanks! Just subscribed recently and really loving the recipes!
I'm here rewatching this after I wrote down "hopped hard green tea" while watching the hoppy hour the other night 😁
I never can figure out what you will come up with next...
Haha if you have any crazy ideas let me know!
I'm going to try this with just liquid Organ chi. As far as I can tell no one has reported doing this.
That sounds great! I love chai and I’m sure it would taste great
im sure Lalvin champaign yeast is fine... Turbo yeast may spoil the taste
Did I miss the part where we add alcohol
Ha it’s fermented so it has alcohol in it
is that pink floyd card game?
It’s just Pink Floyd style deck of cards. But a game based on their albums would be dope! Like Pokémon but rad
This looks like kombucha without the scoby
I guess they are both technically fermented teas, so your right
Still no sauerkraut beer? Hmmm😆
Haha I got my top scientists working on it just for you!
Can it make u drunk?
No it's alkoholfree
Lol
