This braggot came out very nicely. I would use a little less hops and a little less malt, just a tiny bit! The honey really come through with this recipe. I also feel that this recipe is a great base for creating even newer green tea beers. I want to try hibiscus green tea beer. Thanks for being interested!
when to add the green tea?
