It's important to test the pH of your kombucha both at the start and end of the 1st ferment

Testing before
For a safe brew that free from harmful microbes, ensure that the starting pH of your kombucha first fermentation is 4.5 or below
Note: If you need to lower the pH, mix in small amounts of plain white vinegar. Retest until you reach a pH of 4.5 or below

Testing After
The target pH for kombucha that's ready to drink or bottle is 2.5-3.5

*NOTE

Test strips with 1.0 intervals (i.e. 1,2.3..) are not precise enough to safely test kombucha. This is because of the importance of your brew's first ferment starting pH at or below 4.5 and 3.5 on finishing, 1.0 increment strips will not provide this accuracy.
Always use test strips with 0.5 intervals to safely test your home brewed kombucha
