If kombucha is left out of the fridge for a long time, it will start to ferment again and become sour. This can lead to a build up of pressure inside the bottle that may cause it to explode. It will also start to produce more alcohol and carbon dioxide which could make it taste vinegary.

However, if you leave your kombucha out for less than 48 hours, it’s likely still safe to drink. Just check that it doesn’t have any signs of mould before consuming it, and be sure to throw away the bottle if you see any.
