Hi all,
Apologies for the first time post being in this section but I've been noticing that a lot of constructive discussion has been going on in this forum on the subject of tobacco steeping, so thought I'd try and ask a few experts in the field (or experienced brewers at least).
I've done much of the standard method: leisure liquids whole leaf (I've used light fire-cured and aged nicaraguan), steeped in pure (or majority) PG, inside a steeping bag, left for 1 -2 weeks.
Problem is that they're tasting like perfumed sugar. And I could have sworn that this wasn't the case at day 6 of the first test. Now it's horrible and tastes NOTHING like tobacco.
Anyone know why this might be?
Was left in quite a warm room for that period if that's any help. But I've never heard any real evidence that temperate affects the steep, other than actually heating of course, but I mean ambient temp.
Thanks! (and hello!)
