Have you taken a sip or slurp yet?

If you like it, it will be ready for bottling.

It depends whether you do continuous brewing or batch brewing.

I do batch brewing.

That means that I let my brews go for 7 days or longer (depending on taste).

When they taste right, I take the scobys out (put them into separate

container) pour off the liquid and leave a goodly amount as starter for the

next batch - add it to the scobys.

Sometimes I rinse out the container (if very yeasty and squiggley), then

add scobys and set apart KT and pour on cooled sweet tea according to my

recipe.

Da-daaaaa, another batch is ready to ferment until I like the taste.

So, I guess, your next job is to taste your brew. And then, take it from

there! It's really not difficult. All you need is a bit of common sense

with taster sessions! ;-)

Blessings,

Margret, just downing a glass of my yum-yum KT:-) in the UK
