A Lot of Fizz

Back again and this time I think I've got my sugar amount just right. The batch i made back in April, a while ago I know, had 1/2 a tsp of granulated white sugar added before I bottled it. Well this morning after a night in the fridge, the bottle that is, I opened it up cautiously just in case I got an uncontrollable explosion of Kombucha, and was relieved to have a fantastic pop, a mist forming inside the neck of the bottle and when I poured it, a cascading torrent of bubbles. It was ever so slightly dry but a wonderful feeling on the palate. I'll see if I can get a video put on so you can see.

A Few Months On

I've been away for a while now and my Kombucha bottles are still intact.
The bottles with 1/2 tsp of sugar were lovely and clear and almost sparkling wine like. Not too dry and with plenty of fizz.


The bottle with the 1/4 tsp was disappointing to say the least. Slightly fizzy and very dry.


I've still got 8 bottles to use up before i go back to making it again.


I've discarded the Kombucha culture that I left in the fermenting container. It looked tired and dark in colour. I have still got a culture in the fridge and it looks healthy as ever.
