So I have never actually bottled any kombucha. I was wondering how long between readings should I wait before it is safe to bottle? Is it more like a sour brew where I should wait until I have consistent readings a month apart to avoid bottle bombs?
whats the point of bottling it if it doesn't really carbonate?
Do you ever use a hydrometer to make sure fermentation is complete? If so, how long do you wait between readings?
It surprises me that people have not had good success with souring beers with a scoby, seems like throwing a scoby in once your beer hit FG from the sach would work well...
The reason the scoby isn't very good for souring beers is because of the kind of acid it creates. The scoby produces acetic acid (vinegar). This is the wrong kind of acid for most beer styles. The styles that do allow for this kind of acid only allow for it in smaller quantities.
