I hope that the rest of your batches returned to normal!<br /><br />@Wannabeskinny Thanks for sharing as well! Glad that your kombucha still tastes great despite the initial smell. And if you ever don't feel well after drinking your kombucha, feel free to consider starting over with a new SCOBY. Happy brewing!Annabelle Hohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10826486779108416792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-314173178849667793.post-8106821415030469242013-08-10T23:17:08.583-04:002013-08-10T23:17:08.583-04:00Mine has a little smell after being bottled severa...Mine has a little smell after being bottled several days but still tastes great. The smell seems to disapaite after I open the bottle. It has not made me feel sick so I am still drinking it...Wannabeskinnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09367174699719309674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-314173178849667793.post-436037250643819072013-08-07T10:12:23.378-04:002013-08-07T10:12:23.378-04:00I started to Google "Kombucha smells like sul...I started to Google "Kombucha smells like sulfur" thinking, I doubt I'm gonna get a hit if I type sulfur. Low and behold Google auto completed my search string with "sulfur" and I was relieved that I was going to get answers. I brew 4 gallons at a time. I have dozens of scobe. This was my first batch to have this issue.<br /><br /> Its summer and my brew vessel is at about 80 degrees everday, I am thinking over active yeast. I also reduced sugar by one cup so maybe that was also an issue. Next batch is back to old recipe and see if I can insulate more from the heat.Cybrslughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17451001530544353200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-314173178849667793.post-38744670624090459532010-07-29T17:23:43.637-04:002010-07-29T17:23:43.637-04:00Hi Suzanne,

It was too funky to drink and my gut told me to discard it and start again.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12358177139369296057noreply@blogger.com
