To strain or not to strain. How to keep the fizz? Speed is the answer.

Dear Dove,

I bottle immediately to keep ANY fizz. Sometimes I have a lot. Sometimes, not

much. I try to keep what I have. I don't rebottle. I strain only when I go to

drink a glass.

First , I assemble all my equipment: large measuring pitcher, gallon glass grape

juice jug, scoby-hotel, etc.

I don't remove the scobies from my brew until I am ready to go. Then I rip off

the cloth and rubber band, grab the new scobies, flop them into the scoby hotel,

quickly dip the new brew into my large measuring pitcher, pour it into my

gallon jug, and cap immediately with a double layer of thick plastic under the

lid, and place it in the refrig.

It keeps all the fizz and any buzz and doesn't sour in the refrig, even if kept

for weeks.

Pove it.

Blessings on you all. LOve. MArge.
