What is the most common mistake people make when brewing Kombucha?
There appears to be several mistakes most novice brewers will make. The first is not reading carefully the detailed instructions we send with an order. The second is allowing the tea to ferment too long because they forget about keeping track of the time and it then it becomes too sour for their taste. Normal brewing time is 7 to 9 days. The third mistake a novice brewer makes is misidentifying the new mushroom that is forming on the surface of the tea as mold which leads then to throw out a perfectly good brew before the 7 to 9 day brewing cycle is complete. Also sometimes the new mushroom forming in the tea forms more slowly than the novice brewer anticipates and this leads them to panic thinking that something with the brew has gone wrong.
