How do I increase the carbonation of my kombucha tea?
A. Once the fermentation period is complete and the culture has been removed you can ferment the kombucha a second time by adding juice (most common), fruit and/or ginger to flavor the kombucha tea. After adding the flavorings, allow the kombucha to sit for an additional few days with an air tight lid. This process also allows carbonation to build so be careful when removing the lid! While most air tight jars or containers will work, bottling your kombucha in flip top (aka E-Z top) bottles works particularly well. Click here to see our flip top bottle options. Flip-top/E-Z top bottles are generally available at local beer/wine making supply stores. We’ve also had customers report success bottling kombucha in old wine bottles with new corks.
