Guest guest Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 How To Increase the Carbonation in KT: Lots of people like their Kombucha to be carbonated or fizzy. My Kombucha is very carbonated when I first decant it without any further processing. It is so carbonated that there is a " cold draft,' like you might get from beer, when pouring it from the brewing jar. Here are some techniques that I believe make a brew with more fizz. * Leave lots of Kombucha Colonies (SCOBY) in your fermenting jar. *Use at least 1 & 1/2 cups of sugar for each gallon ( if you don't like your KT sweet let it ferment a few days longer). *Take the " starter tea " for your next batch ( at least 10% of the volume) from the _bottom_ of your brewing jar. If following these guidelines for a month or so does not give you fizzy KT then try to get some starter KT from a friend who has fizzy KT to introduce more yeasts into your brew. I've been making KT since 1994 and all of my brews using this method have been both delicious and fizzy!
