Sweet tea is made. I keep my filtered water in the fridge though. It always seems like it warms up so fast, I thought an hour would do. Haha. Even with the boiled concentrate, I need to warm it up to about 77 degrees. I already had a heating pad and a thermometer. I have a lot of the tools already. Only needed a larger glass container, rubber band and the culture scoby thing. I'll get the bottles over the next week.
