Using Kombucha Brewing Timer to calculate and analyze your data.
How the Kombucha Brewing Timer works
- Enter the ambient temperature where the vessel actually sits, which is often warmer than the room.
- Start the timer and taste from around the earliest day in the range rather than waiting for the end.
- Log pH if you can. Taste is the decider, and pH makes a batch you liked repeatable.
The method
Fermentation rate rises with temperature, so the same result arrives sooner in a warm room.
a few degrees warmer can shorten a ferment by days
This is why a recipe's 7 to 10 days means very different things in a 19 C kitchen and a 26 C one.
FAQ
How do I know when the first ferment is done?
Taste, from the early end of the range. It should be tart with some sweetness left. pH is a useful record but the target is a matter of preference, not a number.
Is a second ferment necessary?
No, and it is where carbonation and flavour come from. The first ferment produces kombucha; the second, sealed with a little sugar or fruit, carbonates it.
What safety points matter?
Ferment in glass rather than reactive metal, keep everything clean, and be aware that bottles can build significant pressure in a second ferment — burp them or use bottles rated for pressure. If a batch grows fuzzy mould, discard it.
