Anyone have issues with the acidity of the tea and their teeth? I feel like I may be loosing Enamel on my teeth. They are cold sensitive and not as bright. I drink about 16 oz of very tart tea a day and have been doing that for 6 months. Makes sense right?

looks normal, keep going

can I use this to ferment? It has a lid but it just sets on top. Couldnt that keep contaminants out and also let the built up pressure excape? Also is anyone using a container with a screw on top and a one way valve? http://www.target.com/p/anchor-heritage-glass-jar-1-gallon/-/A-15295209

I have brewed about 10 1.5 gallon batches so far. I have tried every flavoring I could think of for the 2nd fermentation, and I have come to the realization that plain is the best.

Now I'm curious. You can tell the difference between keg beer and bottle beer right? The keg beer taste a little different. Does that little difference in taste occur in the Kombucha?

You are brewing 3 - 1 gallon batches every 8 days? How much are you drinking a day?

Nice, I am now using your ice bath idea to cool down the tea. It seems so obvious now, but I was letting the tea sit for 6 hours to let it cool down. What are you fermenting in? So your serving it out of a keg and a tap? Does it have that metallic taste like keg beer has? How much are...

is it still fizzy? No juice flavoring at all huh?

I make 1.5 gal at a time. I use 5 bags of black tea and 5 bags of oolong tea. I use 1.5 cups of organic sugar. I do the initial ferment for 1 week, then bottle it and add POM juice and ferment for an additional 3 days. I use 16 oz mason jars. Recipes. For the 2nd fermentation, I have tried...

I make a batch of tea and I let it ferment too long. It was very tart. I decide I am just going to throw it out. I pour the 1.5 gal batch down the sink. The next day my sewer line is clogged. What is the chance that the KT bacteria ate and loosened up the gunk in the pipes and caused...

What do you do with the SCOBY that forms during the 2nd fermentation? Scoop it out? Drink it? Does any one eat the full mature SCOBY? Like if you trim it down, eating the pieces? I remember people eating the water Keifer.

I have noticed something like that also. Tea is very fizzy when I put it in the bottles, but when I put it in the refrigerator I hear air release when I open the top, but it does not seem carbonated. The cold does seem to suppress the carbonation, but it is still there. When I shake the...

it was 2 gallons, because he added a 2nd gallon of spring water after brewing the tea.

1. I am unclear what the scoby does for me. The cup of my last kombucha tea will culture my new batch with out the scoby. What does the scoby do for me? 2. What does using black tea, or any tea do for me? it will culture with just water? 3. Does anyone add live probotics supplements...
