tomorrow is day 7 and NOTHING!

[Guest guest]

i check every day and even shine a flashlight in (with the cover on and

the jar being against dark tile - its dark! LOL) and there are no

bubbles or anything going on. in hindsight i should have moved it to

an interior counter next to the stove to get some heat. now its

against an exterior wall (souther exposure so it is the hottest wall)

but we don't raise our heat above 65 degrees F.......so its really cold

in our house......i wrapped a dishtowel around the jar hoping to

generate some warmth.........should i wrap something heavier?

i cant imagine its all b/c of the cold.....can it really have that much

of an effect? should i test it tomorrow anyway or remove the dishtowel

to get a good look inside?

i'm not giving up though!

Hi , did you start your brew with a mother scoby and acidic KT or

vinegar? As long as these are present in the sweet tea things should happen.

Of course, the cold does retard fermentation considerably.

An average temperature of 68+ would be a lot better for the brewing process.

Yes, being adjacent to the warming presence of a stove or heat mat would be

a big bonus.

If this is your first brew, , your brew may take as long as a fortnight

or longer to gain any reasonable acidity. Being a first brew in a cool

environment, you'll have to be extra patient.

Good, you sound as though you have the umph it takes to see this through!

All the very bubbly best,

Margret:-)
