watery kombucha?

[tct5700]

Hello,

We've been making kombucha for about a year and have run into a problem... the kombucha seems watery, it has a more diluted taste. We've tried to trouble shoot and not really getting any where with it.
A few things we've tried:
-new scoby
-new starter tea
-warmer temperature

Can anyone provide some tips and insights?
Thank you!!

It would make sense if you provided your exact recipe..

1) how much sugar per gallon of tea are you using?
2) when it tastes watery, is it sweet or has it fermented most of the sugar out?

If you have tried a new scoby and new starter tea then my guess is that it would have to do with your recipe. if you could post a detailed recipe it would be a lot easier to diagnose whats going on.
