difference in carbonation

I like to use chopped fresh ginger to flavor my kombucha for a second ferment. THe jar I use (almost a gallon) makes 5 bottles. THe last two batches, two of the bottles have fizzed up really nice ad the other 3 have been flat. What would cause this? Same amount of ginger, kombucha and headspace in all the jars. After the first batch did that I set the second in a different place to finish.

More yeast in the fizzy bottles. Stir everything up while bottling.

Thanks, when I think about it I've been brewing in a tea jar with a spigot on the bottom, and when I bottle I've been running it straight from the bottom so the first probably has more yeast, right? This time I took my scoby out and stirred it first, so hopefully it will be more consistent.

How did it turn out?
