I'm trying to collect information on Earl Grey beers to understand appropriate dosing of the tea.

How "Earl Grey"-y did this one come out? And/or, did you experience any "tea-like" bitterness? (eg. From the tannin in the tea)

Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! :)

I looked at my notes for this brew and it looks like I steeped 18 Earl Grey tea bags in 1 qt of water for 5 minutes, then added that to the 3 gallons of beer at kegging. If I remember correctly this beer turned out really well. The Earl Grey was definitely present but not dominant or overbearing.

I actually have an Earl Grey cider on tap right now as well. I used 8 tea bags in 1 qt and added to 2 gallons of cider at kegging. That also has a really nice Earl Grey flavor coming through. I used a lower ratio of tea bags in the cider because I figured it would be dryer and the Earl Grey would come through more easily, and I think I was right.

I've never gotten any bad tannin flavor or bitterness that I've noticed from the tea, mostly just the bergamot comes through. I don't think I've noticed any tea flavor really.

Thanks so much for your response! OK, interesting! When you say you steeped the tea for 5 minutes, was it hot water (like when you'd make a cup of tea) or cold (sterilised) water?

Saaz is a good hop for this - delicate and spicy. When you describe it as a saison, did it have any lager-like qualities?

peterj • 11/07/2018 at 01:53pm
Yeah I used hot water, so I basically just made 1 quart of strong tea and added that.

I didn't really get any lager character in the beer. I used Belle Saison dry yeast which I don't feel like gives any lager like flavors. It's an ok yeast but maybe not my favorite for Saisons. I'd probably go with a liquid strain if I were to do it again.
