I've been brewing Kombucha in two 3 quart sun tea jars for a little over a year. I try to stay with the same brands of black and green tea, same sugar, same tea to sugar ratio scaled up and down as fit.
Within the past few months my Kombucha hasn't been as good as it was early. I'm starting to get into beer brewing and read about autolysis (dead yeast that can cause taste issues in your beer). I'm thinking maybe I need to trim my scoby more often (it doesn't really spawn babies, just more layers) and clean out the jar more often (every 2-3 3 week brew cycles)
My question to the forum: When do you trim back your SCOBYs and clean your jars?
