Starting pH is crucial for your ferment!
Experienced brewers know that it’s important to respect the process and know your stuff — and pH is no different. One of the keys to consistently crafting brewery quality kombucha at home is starting pH. Without the right starting pH, several issues can arise:
1: Most importantly, you are at exponentially higher risk for mold. The correct level acidity in your brew, indicated by the pH, will kill off those potential pesky invaders.
2: Your brews will very likely be inconsistent in flavor and finishing time.
But if you track your pH, you too can be a booch master in no time. And the easiest way to check your brew’s starting pH is with Raw Brewing Co – Kombucha.com pH Strips.
So what is pH and what’s the right number?
pH is the measurement of acidity or alkalinity, and the scale goes from 0 (extremely acidic) to 14 (extremely alkaline), with 7 in the middle representing a neutral pH. When making kombucha, you need to to start your brew at the right pH: 3.5-4.5. Never start a kombucha ferment above 4.5, as it exponentially increases the risk for mold.
Checking your brew’s starting pH is easy. After you combine your SCOBY and starter liquid with room temperature sweet tea, simply grab a clean spoon, take a spoonful of your brew, and dip a Raw Brewing Co - Kombucha.com pH Strip in it. Then compare the color to the color chart — the closest match is your pH. If your pH is too high, add more starter liquid. And if your pH is lower than you’d like, simply add more sweet tea.
So you want to brew consistently like a pro? It’s easy! All you need to do is:
1: Start with a strong culture like Gaia
2: Use pH strips to always test your brew
3: Start your brew at a pH of 4
4: Finish your brew at a pH of 3
It’s that simple, Booches!
