F2 no carbonation, a little too acidic
This is my second time brewing. Started F1 with a previous SCOBY, F1 went for 14days then I bottled up two bottles without any flavour and one with honey and Kokum and refrigerated them but I see no carbonation even after 36+ h.
It was bubbling when I bottled it. I did a water dip check to see if there was a leak, nothing.
Also the first batch was too acidic after 24days. So I kept this one for a shorter duration 14days. Still I feel it is a little too acidic.
The temp sometimes hits 38 degrees Celsius during F1.
How do I monitor the acidity?
How do I get enough carbonation?
I used black tea for both the batches but honestly don’t like the taste. Planning to brew with green tea. Any tips?
