Can I correct it?
I am day 3 of F1 of a second brew. I made some mistakes on my first brew and probably just didn’t give it enough time.
I have that initial brew in day 4 of F2 that isn’t carbonating. The initial brew was for 11-12 days, 1 cup sugar, 4 cups sweet black tea, 12 cups filtered water, 10oz starter tea and a 2”x3” pellicle that I got from a local fermenting shop. For its F2 I added 2 tablespoons of pureed berries and 1 tablespoon of simple syrup to each bottle. There was a layer or two of pellicle on the initial brew.
I started the second brew immediately but made a mistake by adding a gallon (16 cups) of water to 4 cups of strong black tea. I used 1 1/4 cups of sugar to the tea. The small pellicle is growing from the 2”x3” piece it was and looks good.
I have half a mind to take my flat-no-fizz F2 and put it through the Soda Stream but I’d really like the second run to be better and successful. Any thoughts or suggestions.
