Long time lurker, finally posting. About a week ago I made two beet reductions (I used red beets and golden beets), using about two quarts of shredded beets and four quarts of water, reducing until I was only left with two quarts of liquid. The pH and OG of the resulting liquid was about 5.5-6 and 1.025, respectively. I pitched a SCOBY and about 1/8 cup of mature KT on a quart of both reductions. After about 5 days new SCOBYs are already starting to form.
Has any body every attempted a beet reduction kombucha before? I'm pretty excited about the red beet KT as it looks deep red-purple. Any suggestions flavor additions during secondary fermentation? Thanks!
