The 5 Gallon recipe I’m trying is a hybridization of a hard seltzer recipe.
1 Bring 4 gallons of brewing quality water to a boil, shut off heat, and stir in 4.5 lbs. of corn sugar.
2 Cool to around 160 F and add one 1 oz packet of Propper Seltzer Yeast Nutient
3 While still at 160F your creativity of Kombucha ingredients can come into play. I add 26 bags of Bigelow Pomegranate Green Tea and 1 bottle of Pomegranate Syrup…
4 Let your tea steep for around 15 to 20 minutes.
5 Cool your 4 gallons of sweet tea to the pitching temperature of the yeast your are going to use. I recommend a yeast that is clean and not fussy about temperatures. In this case I pitched Voss Kveik Yeast at 80F.
6. Top off to 5 gallons with your previously fermented 1 gallon of kombucha and add your SCOBY.
This recipe yields an OG of 1.047 and one can expect to reach a FG of 1.00
