Hey all - I've been a longtime (beer) brewer and long time reader of Homebrewtalk.
My wife an I are going to jump into kombucha. Since we already have a pretty extensive brew kit, we are thinking of kegging right off the bat. Does anyone have any input on the following?
-Is it a good idea to jump into 5-gallon batches or do you think we should start with micro batches? Is there much of a difference between the two aside from just volume?
-We will be using a thermwrap on our fermentors to keep the temps optimal, what has been the average time for fermentation for a 5-gallon batch? Ive been reading about 1 month in the primary and 2 weeks in the secondary. Sound about right?
Thanks all!
