Re: kombucha 101 thread!
I dried some I had (I keep a backup now) in the oven one day and gave the kids one each - they were kind of like candy. I don't think I could stand giving them to them as is. That just really makes my tummy feel upside down thinking about it.

Re: kombucha 101 thread!
I put the oven on something between 60-80°C and propped the door open and kept checking on them until they looked like really thin peanut brittle. Then I cooled them when I was certain they were no longer gummy, and sniffled at it, broke a piece off to try, and offered it to the kids who gobbled it down thinking it was candy.

Re: kombucha 101 thread!
I think I need to buy a 2nd container to start a second brew since I'm wanting to drink more than 1 bottle a day. I also think I need to get some pH strips to check my brew (where? Drug store?). I KT.

Re: kombucha 101 thread!
So... how thick does the scoby have to be??? I wanna start brewing!
Oh, I saved some plain bucha from the bottle I got to grow a scoby and shared it with DH. He likes it as much as beer! He wants to start brewing on a large scale But doesn't it have to be refrigerated after a few days of secondary fermentation? I am thinking we would do better to have 3-4 batches going, all started a week apart (after I am done giving away babies for a while).

Re: kombucha 101 thread!
How much alcohol is in Kombucha?
I mentioned it to my MW and she said something about not being able to recommend it because of FAS.

Re: kombucha 101 thread!
y'all are going to be so proud.
I drank kombucha yesterday. I bought the GT's kind that starts with "S" (can't remember) and it was cranberry flavoured. I thought it smelled like my sister's old rental house - kind of musty and wine-y and dusty-sweet. I didn't especially like it but I found myself chugging it and then wondering why there was only half of it left. So i guess I like it! Except near the end I got some of the floaty scoby in my mouth and that was naaaasty. But I did it! I drank kombucha!! YAY KARISA!!! I'm going to take such good care of your scoby. |

Re: kombucha 101 thread!
Oooohh that is exciting!! Your taste will probably acclimate to it as well the more you drink it and can have fun with the flavours.

Re: kombucha 101 thread!
I have to resist the impulse to buy it when I am at Whole Foods. I have bought two bottles since starting my SCOBY but got 'em partly for the bottles (glass, good seal, able to take some pressure, twisty lids). DH and DS are both hooked too. It kinda gave DS a stinky diaper though
I enjoy (semi sweet to sweet) wine and hard cider though, and plain KT tastes just like raw cider a week after pressing So my vessel is ready, I have tea, and am just waiting for the stupid SCOBY to thicken Fall has hit here so growth is soooo slow. It is only about 1/4 inch still

Re: kombucha 101 thread!
How long has it been in there so far? Can you add a bit more sugar?
