Some like it hot(ter)
I did some more reading about Kombucha cultures, and I have discovered I'm a dope. I try my damnedest to keep my fermenting closet between 65-75, since higher is bad for yeast. APPARENTLY, Kombucha cultures like it hot by comparison. 80*F is a happy culture medium. 74-85 is the optimum range. That would explain why, when the dryer was running all day and I had the fan on the lower levels, the Kombucha went nuts and grew very obviously overnight. We're kind of stuck this morning since I moved it to a cooler area. Lesson LEARNED. Some just like it hotter.
