First batch: hit or miss
Hey folks,
I’m new to kombucha brewing and I started my first ever fermentation over 3 weeks ago and since I started at a time of the year that’s not very warm where I am located I decided to leave the first fermentation for longer. I’d say the average temperature during those 3 and a half weeks has been somewhere between ~17-20C or ~62-68F. I was thinking to soon move to F2 but I wanted to ask if what I did with that prolonged first fermentation was the right call and if not should I just skip this batch and just use the current liquid for a starter liquid for the next one?
For context I started with ~13g green tea, ~2700ml water, ~220g sugar and I believe under a cup of starter liquid which I know was not ideal but that’s all I had (and that’s another reason I decided to stick with longer f1).
PS: I got a new pellicle out of this at least so something must have went right! The old one sunk on the first week tho but I’ve seen that’s not necessarily a bad thing?
Edit: to be exact it's been fermenting since 24th of Apr
