Newbie questions...

[Guest guest]

Hi!

I just made my first successful batch of KT. It is wonderful!! I

used Roiboos Red tea and I really love the taste. I let my tea sit

for about 14 days and now I have a 1 gallon jar with the Mama which

is about 1/2 " thick that has sunk to the bottom of the jar, and a

baby that is about 1/8 " thick on top.

Here are my questions:

1. How much can I safely consume in a day? I really like it and

would like to consume 8-12 oz a day or will it hurt me in that

quantity? I have consumed up to 4 oz, and had no ill effects. The

energy boost I'm getting is AWESOME!

2. Now that I have 2 (mama and baby), what do I do with them?

Should I keep the mama and give the baby away, or vice versa, or

save them? I'm ready to bottle my KT for the fridge and start a new

batch.

3. Can I use the existing 1 gallon jar and just keep one scoby in

it and some starter and add more tea/sugar solution, or should I

begin fresh in a new steralized 1 gallon jar?

Sorry for the silly questions!
