Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 It's so funny that you said to take notes. What I'm doing is making different batches with different porportions, and writing out what exactly I used. Test it through the fermentation stage, and then try to perfect it. I just did a one gallon batch, four Liptons, four organic green teas, 1 1/2 cup of sugar. We'll see. My second brew tomorrow might be all green tea. I want to see what works best, and will have the " recipe " and the start date of the brew at the base of the bowl/jar. Happy brewing!!!! J. " xcapx@... " wrote: My GOD !! What have I DONE ???

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Hi! I take notes but... sometimes I use the same mix of teas, the same amount of sugar, and the taste can be really different. KT is really amazing! (Maybe I could note the phases of the moon? Or the atmospheric pressure? I note already the daily temperatures...)

I make jottings on little sticky notes and plaster them on a brew, or sellotape a paper on the kitchen cupboard just below the brew with info like day and date of start of brew types of tea used (proportion of green to black or others used) any extra fruity teas added and how much I keep the sugar pretty constant at around 400g (1 3/4 cups) per 1 US gallon/ 4 litres Even as I keep my brews pretty similar, outcomes can vary greatly. Each brew is usually o.k. but only occasionally heavenly. My husband says,'It's the way you hold your feet, dear!' ;-) Maybe, if it was always so mega, it wouldn't stick out as special any more? B U T Now ...... what WAS that heavenly ingredient, I wonder?? .....;-) Maybe, naming that extra wonderful batch after your wife might get her on your side :-) ? kombuchaly with blessings, Margret:-) -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ Minstrel@... <)))<>< http://www.therpc.f9.co.uk <)))<>< http://www.AnswersInGenesis.com http://www.elijahlist.com +---------------------------------------------------------------+ ~~ Nature is God's second book. ~~ -Comenius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
