It was like a root beer flavor, called Earth. We might try to copy it - saspirilla, burdock root, dandelion root, molasses, etc. It was pretty good Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: The Awesomeness That Is Kombucha
I let the second ferment sit for 2-3 days then out it in the fridge. So nice and bubbly that way.

Re: The Awesomeness That Is Kombucha
We have a well, no issues for us. But our water is not soft a little on the hard side.

Re: The Awesomeness That Is Kombucha
what about septics? I don't know if it is true or not, but I heard that scobys can grow in them?

Re: The Awesomeness That Is Kombucha
I've read this too. A few times. So I'm super careful to not let any SCOBY pieces go down my drain. They do grow! And it would make sense that they could grow in a septic tank. I've read stories of them growing and clogging the tank. Even if it's not true, I'd rather be safe than sorry!

Re: The Awesomeness That Is Kombucha
So, Sarah, kombucha/pregnancy question for you - did you consume KT regularly during previous pregnancies, and if so, did you test Group B Strep positive at all? I was negative with ds1 and positive with ds2... I am hoping that my increased probiotic intake (I really need to step up on the sauerkraut... and possibly start back up with milk kefir, too.. when does testing happen again? ) will lead to another negative so that I don't have to be on antibiotics during delivery again this time around..

Re: The Awesomeness That Is Kombucha
You can cut up SCOBYs into little pieces and eat them, they taste kind of like Sour Patch Kids. You can compost them, too. I've read that dogs will eat them but that seems a little risky to me since even a small amount of alcohol isn't good for animals.
Or give them away. |
