Both batches were a tad on the strong side so we used 1.5 tbsp of sugar per bottle for both batches. We made 21 regular sized bottles and one large……..
7/16/20, Mixed Berry
This is first batch which we moved both the medium and large container into the office where it’s darker. We were concerned about sunlight coming in from kitchen sun tunnel especially during the long summer days. We had a number of flat plain – while it could be the bottle tops we also noted that SCOBYs have been looking kind of shabby as of late. SCOBYs looked much improved after 8 days in the office.
The medium batch was just right. We used strawberries and blackberries pureed using 1/3 cup plus 1 tsp sugar to make 9 bottles.
The large batch was a tad weak but not bad. We made 13 plain using 1 tsp of sugar.
We pulled the mixed berry after 4 days and it was slow eruption but not bad. A bit on vinegary side.
7/8/20, Plain…again.
We forgot and the first fermentation went 9 days instead of the usual 8. Both batches were strong but not horribly vinegary. We made 21 bottles with 1 tsp of sugar each.
6/29/20, Plain
Both batches medium and large were just right (not to vinegary/sugary) we added 1 tsp sugar making 21 bottles total.
6/21/20, Greyhound
We once again used beautiful ruby grapefruit from the farmer’s market as this maybe the last batch from the vendor. We used the medium batch which came out perfect this week. We added 1/3 cup grapefruit juice and 1 tsp sugar and made 11 bottles.
The large batch was also perfect we used some to finish the grapefruit. We made 11 bottles of plain w 1 tsp sugar.
