Re: Beet Kvass 2nd time around

[Guest guest]

Filippa,

My first batch got the white mold the 1st time around. I have made 2nd

batches and haven't had the problem although I always feel my 2nd batch just

doesn't have the punch or flavor that you eventually come to enjoy.

> I'm currently fermenting my second batch of beet kvass using the same beet

chunks and remainder juice from the 1st batch. It has grown a white mould on

the surface. I know everyone just says skim off. But why has it happened this

time and not when I make it up fresh? Is there a way to prevent this? When

the liquid level got low in the first batch, I just topped it up with water.

Should I

have added more salt or something?
