You want the tea to taste slightly sweet, but also have a kick of that vinegary taste. Too sweet means it's not ready, too vinegary means it's been fermented too long.On average after 5-10 days, your kombucha should be ready for second fermentation. Whenever you think the taste is well balanced.Fill your kombucha bottles with 2-3oz of sugary fruit or 100% fruit juice.Using your pitcher and funnel, fill the bottles with kombucha leaving 1-2 inches of headspace. *Make sure to save 1-2 cups of this kombucha to be used later as starter tea.Close bottlesLeave the bottles in a warm dark spaceHave a test bottle designated. After 2 days, start opening your test bottle to test the carbonation. If the test bottle has little carbonation, continue second ferment for another day. Continue this process until the kombucha is very fizzy.Once your kombucha is fizzy, store in the fridge, cool, and enjoy. :-)
