First time brewer.....is this too cloudy?

[samfern]

Hi all, I followed the instructions exactly, but it seems very cloudy to me and theres lots of bits in it, is it supposed to be like this? It's got a ph of 4 and was fermenting for 6 days

It's hard to say...
What recipe did you do?
At 6 days fermenting it's usually not clear. PH 4, for beer it's low. Usually betwwen 5.2 and 5.6 i think. Unless it's not beer....
Give more info

So... I'm guessing this is your first Kombucha or tea ferment since you're posting it here.

I have been batch brewing for a long time, but as luck would have it I just set up a continuous brew system, so it's easy for me to grab a little out for comparison.

This is five days in... I've made much cloudier brew in the past, but this seems about average. A big part of how light passes through is also the tea you start with... really strong dark tea always looks cloudier.

Hooo sorry about that...
Didn't notice it was a Kombucha post

That's a small amount of kombucha. Is that all you made?

ph 4 is high for a finished kombucha. You should go down to at least a 3.5, preferably 3.2.

At what temperature are you fermenting?
