Smell

[Guest guest]

I want to start off by saying I am not complaining about this. No matter what,

I'm not going to stop making KT because we love it! So now that this is out I

have a question regarding the smell while the KT is brewing. When I started my

first brew the smell was actually quite good. Subtle yet sweet in the house. I

am sure this is because I started it with only GT Dave's, so it took longer to

brew, leaving a fresh sweet brewing smell through the house. But now I have been

brewing with a Scoby for several months and the smell is becoming very strong

through the house, not subtle or sweet. My husband (who loves KT too) has made

comments about it, saying it stinks, and I have to agree with him. I have moved

things around in my china hutch to make room to store it away so the smell isn't

so apparent. That helped for a few days, but now it is permeating through that.

The KT looks incredibly healthy, tastes wonderful, and the Scoby is perfection.

I have no complaints about the KT whatsoever. So my question is simply how do

you keep your house smelling nice and fresh? I'm very close to putting the brews

in the basement but I'm afraid to do that because the temperature is quite a lot

cooler. Another option would be in an upstairs closet, which is more viable, but

not sure if my husband and kids will want that smell permeating into the

bedrooms.

Once again, I LOVE my KT and won't stop making it. Just wondering what kind of

adjustments I can make to my surroundings. I have been lighting fragrance

candles to help but that doesn't help to much! LOL!

Any thoughts?
