Brew, Harvest & Repeat

A typical fermentation takes 9–14 days, depending on temperature and your taste preferences.

With continuous brewing, keep a portion of your mature kombucha in the vessel and replenish it with cooled, sweetened tea according to our brewing guide. Once established, you can harvest approximately 6 quarts every two weeks, depending on brewing conditions.

Bottle and refrigerate your finished kombucha when it reaches your preferred flavor.

Only continuous brewing of the kombucha allows the formation of different acids that are constantly being produced and broken down through out the active ferment time. Kombucha Researcher Mike Rousin indicated that at 80o F and 7 days the ferment has the greatest variety of health benefits. (vitamins, oxylic acid, etc) However, he also noted that the longer fermentation proceeds the more beneficial acids have a chance to form. Some of these acids don't even appear until 14-21 days in the process. These acids are largely responsible for the detoxifying nature of KT and are the catalysts we seek in K-Tea. Glucose content maximizes around the 8th or 9th day. This implies that gluconic acid production could not peak until after that point. Gluconic acid is the biggest single contributor to the detox effect.
