Can I use gallon tea bags with this? I will mix in a gallon jug after its done brewing.

Hey Nick, I've never seen a gallon size tea bag, so I wouldn't be able to give you an accurate answer. But, to give you an idea, I use 7-8 Tetley British round tea bags with no problem. Sorry, I couldn't be of anymore help.

The tea maker has a strength knob you can adjust from weaker to stronger tea. You can try brewing on the strong setting and then diluting the stronger tea to your liking in a gallon jug.

I don't see any reason you couldn't use just tea bags. However, I personally use a filter even though I use tea bags. The reason is that sometimes some of the tea escapes the bag. It wouldn't take much to clog the drain system for the tea in which case you would wind up with a messy overflow. The filter provides added protection and helps ensure uniform flow of the tea out of the reservoir.

That would depend on how strong you make your tea. It is a very large bag and the best taste I've tried. I mix it half and half with white tea.

Yes, it will grow to fit the container. You won't have enough starter tea for 5 gallons. I would brew one gallon to start. Once you have a gallon of brewed tea, you can increase to up to 5 gallons.

Hi Kimberly! Of course you can! Use half a tea bag and make half the tea....Always like to remind people how versatile the tea is however - if you have leftovers, you can use on indoor houseplants, home compost pile, trees, shrubs, a neighbor's rose bush (but only if you like them :)Happy Gardening!

I think you will need quite a bit for that. My guess is that you would need 8 of these two gallon companions. It never makes as much as you think it might. There should be some description saying how many cubic feet the two jugs make. You should be able to make a rough estimate from that. Sorry if this isn't much help.

Well Tony, as CRICKETSDAD answered, one bag will make one (1) gallon of gravy. But unless you're feeding an army that's way too much. It's also suggested to break down the individual measurements and make smaller batches. It all works fine and it's reallllly good.

I use 6 slightly rounded teaspoons for 1/2 gallon of iced tea. I brew my tea in a dedicated for tea coffee pot and let it cool on the counter top in a carafe. I've never made sun tea with this tea before. I would imagine you could put the tea in packets and make it with the sun.

I fill the pitcher up as full as I can and fill the tea maker full of water and leave the rest in the pitcher. I then add three family tea bags to the tea maker and brew it makes about a gallon of tea.

Hi, Approximately 10 tablespoons of loose leaf tea are a good measure for brewing a gallon of tea. Currently, this is the only size tea infuser we offer. Since our infuser holds about 1 1/2 tablespoons, depending on which tea variety you use, it would take you about 6-7 filling/brewing times with our infuser to make a gallon. Hope this is helpful, especially for making iced tea as summer approaches! Warmly, Bridgett from Flourish & Thrive

I've never tried putting a bag of anything into the filter. You could empty the bag into the filter and see what happens when you brew it.

You COULD, however you need all the necessary larger mashing/boil/chill/fermenting equipment. Also, you're better off buying BBS's book, as they have the 5 gal recipes of the kits they sell plus others. I would also recommend buying all your grains/hops and fresh yeast from a local brew shop or Northern Brewer. These small 1 gal kits are.good for a beginner, but you'll find cost for buying supplies and effort for making 5-10 gals drives your cost per gallon down considerably.

Absolutely! Just follow the directions on the side of the container. You'll want to add the full container to a relatively empty tank and then fill the tank up which helps it to mix.

Yes, you can. Just remember, a Mr. Beer kit makes batches which are 2 gallons. Just make sure to note the batch size of any kit you use and re-portion the ingredients if the yield is more than two gallons. You can easily do this with a metric kitchen scale and a calculator. Also, a random tip, if you're ordering online, it's a good idea to keep some fresh brewers yeast on hand because depending on the age and storage conditions of the yeast in the kit, it may be dead, especially summer deliveries. And always sanitize everything pre-batch!

I looked this up on Lipton's website because I was also confused. Lipton does not make decaf bags in the gallon size, unfortunately. These are family size bags which are larger than the one cup size, but smaller than the one gallon size. I use 3 of these in my tea maker to make 3 liters.

Yes, you can! I tried using a tea bag, but the tea tasted weak. But good idea with the loose tea, maybe the tea will come out better.

Yes you can, you will need to measure the mix though bases on one of the ebo mixes. For example 1/4 cup, then you measure those out and put in ziploc bags for later. Hope that helps!
