Is it better to add sweat tea to store bought kombucha, or to wait for the kombucha to grow a pellicle?
Some add sweat tea to store bought kombucha and that becomes a full batch after a few weeks, with a pellicle and all. Others just put the store bought kombucha in a mason jar and cover it until it grows the pellicle, and then use that whole thing as the starter and add sweat tea to it. Does it matter which way you go? Is one method better than the other?

What do I do if i can't tell if my F1 is sour, sweet, or tart and it all tastes the same to me?
It may sound weird, but I cannot tell if my F1 is sweet, sour, or tart. It tastes like all of them. I have 3 different batches going, one with green + black tea, another with green + white tea, and another with green + hibiscus, they all taste differently, but they also all taste slightly sour, weirdly sweet, and have a vinegary after taste. This has happened in the past also with other batches I have done, so I don't think it's because of the tea I used. How can I tell if it's done?

I don't think it's weird at all, I can't tell the difference in mine either! I always have to get others to try out my batches to tell me if they are sweet or vinegary or what ever they taste, otherwise I just don't know! So my advice is to just ask others to taste it, if anyone is brave enough to try it.
