I am very new to this and I am hoping to start continuous brewing. I have a few questions.
1) I know that the shorter the fermentation time the sweeter the flavor, however, I haven't found anywhere where it talks about whether any of the beneficial effects of consuming kombucha will be lost if you don't let it ferment long enough. Is there a minimum?
2) If I were to CB and remove some kombucha to bottle for a 2nd fermentation once a week what percentage of the brew should I remove each time? If I don't use enough of it each week will there be an issue or do I just need to replace what I took?
