Can I add more sugar and leave it to ferment longer if it didn't carbonate during F2?
I bottled up some kombucha from my F1, some flavored and some not, I put about half a teaspoon of sugar per half a liter of kombucha, and nothing happened. I might have had my measurements wrong. If I want to put more sugar and leave it out to ferment longer, is that ok or will the taste start to get too acidic?I recently had to experiment with this because half of my F2's didn't fizz at all. I left them for like 2 days, opened them, and there was absolutely no pop, it was like I opened a bottle of water. I added some more sugar to them and left them for another 2 days, and 2 of them did get a lot of fizz, but the rest did not. I am not sure what I did wrong here, but I can say that it works, even though half of the ones I added sugar to didn't fizz, the other half did! So it does in fact work!
Also, at that point, I didn't care to measure how much extra sugar I put in, I just poured a little bit in each bottle.

if my F1 is still a little bit too sweet, can I bottle it to have a natural flavor and the sweetness will replace the added sugar to create fizz?
My F1 tastes a little bit sweet still, so I am wondering if I can just bottle it without adding sugar and if it will continue to ferment and become fizzy as if I added sugar, since it's still sweet from the F1.

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?
