Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
Mine hasn't ever really gotten carbonated with the second ferment. :shrug3 I'm just putting them in mason jars with some whole fruit (usually blueberries). We still drink it.

I have had it get a bit fizzy before, but not anything like soda is.

Mine gets as fizzy as I would expect a naturallt fermented beverage to be without adding pressure :shrug

I am loving mine. I did almost two weeks in the gallon jar, then put a half inch of fruit juice (some strawberry-kiwi, some wild berry) in the bottom of medium sized mason jars to sit for another week. I don't really remember how carbonated soda is, as I never really liked it to drink it, but mine is about as fizzy as sparkling grape juice and pretty much what I expected. My next batch going on now I have two gallons brewing and my scoby is ginormous :) I'm going to do grape juice this time because the strawberry-kiwi is a little too puckery for me. Wild berry is nice though.

Hmm...I never use juice for my kombucha...only whole fruit. Maybe I should try that instead. I wonder if I could use pink lemonaid...:shifty

Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
Mine is anywhere from flat to sparkling water when it comes to carbonation. I haven't found much rhyme or reason to it.

Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
I have for that juice is more likely to be carbonated. I also found the less air there is in the jar the more likely it is to be carbonated. I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I brew my kombucha on a shelf right beside a window. Maybe that helps too, I have no idea though.

Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
That's a good point about the air! One I filled almost right to the top because it was the last of it, and it practically exploded all over the counter as soon as I twisted the ring off to open this morning.. the pressure actually pushed the seal of the can up to let out the fizz and liquid. I would probably be careful filling it TOO full because of that, actually.

Do you guys think these bottles would be good for the second fermentation?
|
Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
Perfect!
If you know of a beer drinker, it's cheaper to buy Grolsch beer in those kinds of bottles. |
Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
Looks like our first batch of Kombucha turned out fine :)
:jump :dance :woohoo :jump2 Now I just gotta find good ph strips to test it before I drink it since I'm nursing, I want to be careful. |

I'm on the second process for my first kombucha batch now. Can I use canning jars with metal lids?
