Kombucha Gist Recipe
How to use it (simple + robust method)
Batch setup
1 liter sweet tea (black or green)
~50–100 g sugar per liter
100–200 ml kombucha (10–20%)
👉 This starter % is key—it drops pH fast (like your vinegar intuition)
What happens next
Days 1–3: yeast wakes up → slight fizz, maybe cloudy
Days 3–7: bacteria kick in → acidity rises
Around day 5+: you’ll likely see a new pellicle forming
That pellicle = your culture stabilizing (thanks to Komagataeibacter)
