We started our kombucha brewing a couple of weeks ago and put the jars of kombucha in the closet under the stairs to ferment. Then we decanted it into quart bottles after ten days to develop the effervescence.
We checked it after a couple of days and everything seemed all right. The kombucha I made with the white coconut tea and added lime and coconut juice had some lime pulp visible around the top, but everything seem fine, so we left it there to continue the fermentation process for a couple more days.
After a few more days we went back to check it and discovered that one of the bottles had exploded. Fortunately, we had had the foresight to put a tray under the bottles, but even so much of the kombucha had dripped over the edge of the small tray and onto the bins of Christmas decorations, but it was easy enough to clean off the tray. And the bins. And the floor.
So I started a new batch on Sunday and checked it yesterday. Didn't look right. Cindy confirmed today that it probably shouldn't have green fuzzy stuff growing on top of it.
The joys of fermentation.
Sigh.
