Re: Question-balance

[Guest guest]

...when i feed my scobies, the tea is slightly still warm in the jars, I try to

keep that temp from crashing in the first few days of cycle.. I do keep a

little seedling heating mat in the cabinet, and even hang a blanket on the

front, where it is glass and insulate cracks. Helps a little. I guess if you

heat up the blanket initially it might help it is just insulation, keeps the

heat in, but you need to have heat to begin with. They cant raise their body

temperatures. Oh I was just reading that lotus flowers can.. amazing :0)

> Hi, I hope this question comes out sounding a bit more coherent in what I am

asking.Len Porzio site, no help.My KT takes just shy of 3 months to ferment.I

have both vessels-big bowls, wrapped in sheets and blankets and one is

surrounded by a downcomforter. My house is a bit on the cool side, but generally

about 71 degrees.I think  the coolness of my apt. And I'm thinking there is

something really wrong with mytea choices.

> I use about 6 T bags to the gallon, plus the usual 1.1/2 cups of sugar.I have

been using between 3 black tea. 3 green/white Stash brand Infusion.The fizz to

most would probably be considered non-existent. Me, I love the little zingI

get.If I would do a batch of just green for each, one gallon fills nicely, would

that speedthings up?Or, would experimenting with any of those teas as long as

they are the prescribedtea suggestions, would that hurt any till I found some

sense of a balance.I'm dying slowly from thirst. I'll keep trying till I get

this right, whatever right might be.
