Kombucha pH Testing

When starting the fermentation process, your kombucha should start out at 4.5 pH or lower and can be anywhere between 2.5 and 3.5 pH once completed depending on flavor preference. Testing the pH at the beginning of your brew is always a good idea to keep for safety in keeping unwanted bacteria out of your brew. Aim to start at 4.5 or below.
