Better kombucha, batch after batch.

Brewing is easy. Keeping track is the hard part.

  1. Was that day 6 or day 9?

    Every batch shows its day count and its next step, in first and second fermentation.

  2. Bottling day came and went.

    Reminders tell you when to taste, bottle, and chill, right on your Lock Screen.

  3. That batch was perfect. What did you do?

    Fermenta keeps the tea, sugar, timing, and notes, so you can brew it again.

Knows what comes next

Fermenta counts the days for every batch and tells you when to taste, bottle, and chill. You still decide when a batch is ready.

  • Reminders you can act on from the Lock Screen
  • Widgets and a calendar for every batch
  • Extend a stage or move on early

Help when something looks off

Compare the surface with reference photos to check whether it looks more like dry, fuzzy mold or a wet forming pellicle.

This is a guide, not a lab test. When you are still unsure at the end, treat it as mold.
