G.T.Dave's uses organic so one would think that your choice of organic would not

be the problem (although I wouldn't know what the problem is)

kombucha tea

Hi, everyone.

I have been having major trouble with my kombucha the last few months--maybe

because it's been so cold here (house temperature has been in the 60s, but

sometimes drops to the high 50s at night). The SCOBY's have been very thin but

even worse, the tea just doesn't taste good--like watery vinegar.

I tried a heat pad, but that made even worse tea, even when I put a paper towel

on top so it wouldn't get too hot. Tried getting new SCOBY's but that didn't

work either.

I really don't know what to do at this point, other than move to a warmer

climate. LOL. Could it possibly be the tea I'm using (organic green tea)? (I'm

using organic white sugar.)

I've been making kombucha for several years, and have never had a problem like

this before.

Any advice would be VERY much appreciated. Thanks so much!
