The waiting is "over"!
It took just short of 2 weeks for my kombucha to ferment to the perfect stage. Since I am making it in a 2.4 gallon glass beverage dispenser with a spigot, today I was able to easily draw off two 16 oz. bottles (mixed with pieces of crystalized ginger) to ferment another 2 days for flavoring and I had a lovely 12 oz. sparkling serving mixed with a little ginger juice in a frosted glass. It was about PERFECT.
I'm steeping some replacement sweet tea right now and when it cools, I'll refill the container... and I should be able to draw off another 3 bottles in about 3 days. I think I'm going to LOVE this continuous brewing method!
I do still want to start another gallon bottle - or maybe even two of them - to accommodate the other SCOBYs I have. This way I can get them active, enjoy or share some additional kombucha, and eventually send those SCOBYs and their children to new homes with my sisters! Will try to do that this weekend, maybe tomorrow!
