Re: feeding scoby
Mon, July 20, 2009 - 11:39 PMi don't put that much sugar in, but thats just me. i would put more tea in tho. and it sounds like you are eager to drink it, and drained it before the little cultures metabolized all the sugar. scoby doesn't need to be thick to do a good job. make sure you keep it in a dark place. (i have a 2 gallon jar, and i just put a brown bag over it while it brewing.

I use 50% more water than you do. My recipe is 3 quarts of water, 1 cup of sugar and 4 tea bags. 3 quarts = 12 cups.
If your product's a little sweet, I would guess you just need to let it continue. -

Tue, July 21, 2009 - 1:46 PMThat's what I was doing wrong........not enough water and not letting it
sit long enough. I'll add more tea next time too. Thank you for the help
I will try that and see what happens.
