I guess I am lucky! I have made 4 batches and they have been really good. Lite citrus, mild nutty taste. My first batches I made in a quart jar and there were tails in 36 hours and I started the fermentation on the counter then. I only waited 2 days and the water was cloudy so we started drinking then. You will get it! I would definitely try again if I were you. Thanks for stopping by and reading my post.
