Guest guest Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 The buddy who gave me my starter scoby allowed me to drink a sample from his latest batch of KT (yes, I was a complete virgin). He was using (as do I) ceramic flip-top bottles. When he uncorked the bottle, POP went the cork, as if he'd opened a wonderful French champagne. I realize that I have to feel my way around the first few times, getting to know the flavors and such. BUT, I allowed about six days of KT to make a beautiful baby and the tea I tasted was very nice... not sweet and with that wonderful apple/pear flavor. I proudly bottled it and tucked it away in the closet to allow it to continue for another five or six days. HOWEVER, it ain't got no POP. Yeah, there's some fizz when I pour it into a glass, but there's no wonderful explosion when the cap comes off. Should I be concerned? It's tasty, and I've not inbibed enough to determine if I feel like a teenager again. Comments and suggestions here or directly emailed are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Hi EveryOne, The ceramic flip top bottles with wire bales usually have a rubber gasket around the ceramic part and make a very tight seal. I had some like that in Liter size called Italian Wine Bottles and they work very well for KT and have a nice looking presentation also. Perhaps your bottles are not sealing quite air tight. However, when you do get that perfect seal on a glass bottle you have to be careful of explosions because that pop can turn in to a cracked bottle very soon. Enjoy your KT, with time you will find exactly what works for you.
