Default Re: kombucha 101 thread!

the KT I bought a few months ago grew one...its huge huge now. ETA Ok...run down of my scoby growing, but I used synergy. It took a month in september to october to get what Is in flicker link though


My scoby keeps trying to escape I'm starting really like the unflavored kind though...maybe my favorite.

I read some people suggest to just throw whole bottle in and let it do its thing, and others suggested the actual tea brew then add syngery drink. I'm trying just drink first

Oh but...I LOVE this stuff. seriously if I wasn't pregnant I could have drank the whole bottle in 1 sitting. I had to really ration myself. .

Pumpkin loved it too.

Is the store stuff very different from homemade?

Oh but side note that's awesome and bad, my local Giant now carries Synergy.
