OBSERVATIONS FROM PREVIOUS BATCH:

• Cranberries - REALLY good... if i liked cranberries :o)
• Kevin is now brewing on his own.
  
• Pastor Steve said it reminded him of Chicha, a fermented corn drink from Peru
• "the maize is ground, moistened in the chicha maker's mouth and formed into small balls"
• umm. eww. although i would still try it!
• Double the sugar seems to be good.  Brewing time was one day longer, doesn't taste as weak as the last two batches.
• Retired the sun tea jar... that batch always seems to taste a bit more vinegary... maybe it was the plastic spout?  Replaced with a perfect round jar from target.
• Next time i'm going to brew two different types of tea... it's time to experiment with yerba mate!
