This is meant as general discussion thread, so share everything related to brewing - questions, ideas, what's fermenting etc.

As discussed in my recent post here I will pin it for about a week and do another thread in a month and we will see how it goes.

I’ve got kombucha going. I need to process and bottle it and get a new batch going

First try or do you brew it regularly?

[–] harsh3466@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Regularly. I’ve been brewing it for years. Do you brew kombucha?

Long time ago, didn't drink too much of it so it got infected after few months (irregular brewing). Since then I didn't try it.

ah, I’ve definitely had some batches go bad. Just had to dump half a gallon that I didn’t drink fast enough. Though I do drink it pretty regularly, and I pretty much always have a batch brewing.

Yes the "sponge" is happiest working, mine got mold or something in fridge when it wasn't used. (Sorry I am not too familiar in kombucha terminology)
