Are you the only one here who answers posts? Just wonderin' I thought perhaps some little speck of something got in that one jar. A good testament to jar hygiene.

But why one and no the other of the same batch? What could get in there to make this happen:?

Only one jar of the batch did this. What causes this? A friend had one of GT's do the same thing. Chia seeds everywhere.

Thank you for explaining all this. I nearly flunked chemistry in school. Next time I will cut back both tea and sugar. The alcoholic batch seemed to mellow after being in the frig for about a week. Much improved, but a big bottle still gave me a little buzz in my elbows (where I feel alcohol...

The more I learn about it, the more I am amazed. GMO beets. Oh, great. Never thought of that. C+H says "cane", so I looked it up. Very little cane sugar is GMO. There is so much to know, I could spend all day looking things up! Thanks for replying.

Has anyone succeeded in their attempt to re-create GT's chia kombucha?

Where did my reply go? The second ferment was in closed jars, so anaerobic? I learned later that most of them were not as airtight as I thought, so I lost some of the fizz. I stopped the first ferment on the 7th day, as it tasted just right. The second was only 2 days because the alcohol...

Anyone?

Hi, new kid here. I have been reading myself crazy on this forum. I am shooting to recreate grape chia kombucha. I followed the instructions and flavored with grape juice for the second ferment. The taste is very different from the GT's. It has a harsh taste, like alcohol, and I feel a...
