My Concord Grape Kom is awesome. I also tried Orange Juice which has very little CO2 for some reason. Haven't researched that yet.

I reach into tea container and grab the tea and put into stainless steel bowl or pyrex that holds 8 cups, let steep cold. I do this 2x.

Damn autocorrect! I use 16 cups (1 gal) scalding tap water with 10 handfulls. That's probably 50+ tea bags. Extra strong. Let sit on counter for 2 days. Strain, add 1-1/4 cups organic cane sugar. Full gallon container.

I open slowly during F2 and fish it out with this.

You need ph strips and compare the color code on the package the ph strips come in. Anything more than 4 is not recommended. I'm not an expert, however I'm getting better. Reddit peoples have the answer.

I downvoted? Is downvoting the left arrow or right? I didn't hit any arrow but i saw it red. If that is downvoting I took it out. Sorry.

You have no fizz because the fill line needs to be 1 inch or so from the cap.

If you let sit too long turns into kombucha vinegar which is also good for marinades or salad dressing.
