Helpful brewing tips:

For a successful brew use 16 ounces minimum of starter tea per gallon. For optimal conditions, keep your brewing vessel/ fermentation crock out of direct sunlight and store around 78 degrees if possible. Many articles on the internet say you can use cheese cloth as your top cover. Let me warn you, do not do this. If you use cheese cloth fruit flies will be able to squeese threw the cloth and find their way into your kombucha. Instead use 100% cotton cloth cover, coffee filter, or a tightly woven breathable cloth. It is very important Kombucha has access to air while it ferments. Your brewing vessel needs a wide top opening. If your hand can fit inside your jar with ease it should work well for fermenting Kombucha
