Continuous Brew Setup BenchmarksTable
Reference values.
| Parameter | Target | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Salt % | 2-3% lacto | Weigh precisely |
| Temp | 65-72°F ferment | Track daily |
| pH | Below 4.6 safe | Test if unsure |
Cool Before SCOBY
Cool sweet tea below 85°F before adding culture — hot liquid kills bacteria.
pH Check
Test pH below 4.2 before drinking — insufficient acidity allows pathogens.
Mold Discipline
Fuzzy mold means discard entire batch — never scrape and continue.
Safety Notes
- Spigot below SCOBY disturbs culture — design matters.
- Metal spigot corrosion — food grade stainless.
