Batch too quick
Hello kombucha enjoyers,
I have a question, because my batch are too quick to finish (5-6 days) when i wish i could have slower batch to let the taste develop more.
But here i am, after 5 days, needing to bottle it at 6 AM because it will be too acidic if i wait 1 more day
Here are the parameters:
- 3L of evian water (0,8 gallon)
- 12g of black tea (infused 12m at 100°C) (7/16 oz at 212°F)
- 180g of cane sugar (0,4 lb)
-10% of starter that is usually around a PH of 3.3-3.4
- the temp being 21°C or 22°C doesn't seems to make much difference. (70-72°F)
I also noticed that after 5-6 days there is still too much sugar for my taste, but yes, if i wait more it will become too acidic.
i used to add 4g of green tea too, but removed it thinking it was the culprit, but it's not.
What parameter can i change to have slower batch or batch that become acidic slower ?
