Guest guest Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 I saw one reference to only steep some ingredients for 30 min. so maybe you can add them at any time; also maybe the tannins would be too strong if you left the tea in. When I made the ginger beer, I left the lemon peel in for a week, then strained the mess, fed the ginger/lemon peel stuff to the poultry who gobbled it down like they'd never seen food before. I tried a bit of ginger and it was yummy! You could also boil some citrus peel in maybe 1/2 cup of water, add a little honey (like 2 tbps if your ratio was 1 part honey to 4 parts water) and add now, before bottling. The added honey would keep from watering it down from adding the additional liquid. That's my best guess, I haven't made any ferments anyone's raved about yet! > > metheglin, whatever. > > It's fermenting now. Five gallons.

I like the tannin pucker, and would not hesitate to add it to a 'weak' wine at any time. http://www.makewine.com/makewine/tannin.html.
