caffeine in ya brew

[Personal91]

Easy all,

Was just thinking, how much caffeine do we add when we make a cider or wine when we add a stewed tea to our brews for the tannin

Was just wondering as wondered if there are any advantages to adding caffeine to our brews to make people more alert eg a cider on the go when cycling haha just a thought....

It's probably a negligible amount. It's not like throwing a few Pro Plus in there.

Tea has roughly half the caffeine of coffee so a very strong tea may have guesstimate double that of a cup of coffee but diluted into 20L+ of cider its likely less than decaffeinated tea or coffee.

Apparently you can get 10-70mg of caffeine in a normal cup of tea. So well steeped tea with 5 bags should extract up to 350mg. But that's all mixed into a large volume.

That's a fair point, was just wondering as the red desperados has a refreshing kick that seems to wake you up abit and wondered If a homebrewer could imitate it or do better

The tetley redbush (roobois) tea bags I've been using lately are caffeine free

Although after a few glasses/bottles of my concoctions, there's not much that will keep me awake

You could put some Redbull or a few Pro Plus in there, not sure if it would do you or your brew any good though.

I may have to try some of your brews

I have added filter coffee to a stout before and found it brought a nutty flavour

You can buy caffeine at about seven quid for 100g, but lets not forget that this is a toxic alkaloid that can and will kill you if you get things wrong.

Everything will kill you if you have 'too much'

In its defence,I actually enjoyed the taste!!! That probably says more about me than the quality of this beverage
