Hi there,
Been brewing Kombucha for a couple months now (continuous brew method) and have my entire family hooked on it -- great stuff!
My question for all you kombucha experts is this:Can I keep using the same SCOBY over and over? Mine is now about 3 in. thick with multiple layers. I was just reading that GT's Kombucha only uses a SCOBY about 10 times before discarding it as compost. My kombucha brew tastes great and there is no evidence of mold at all.
Oh and on another note . . . I have been trying to duplicate the 'Mystic Mango' flavor of GT's brand Kombuca and have not had any success in getting that great nectar flavor or texture. I have tried fresh mango puree and bottled mango juice -- any thoughts?
Thanks all,
SCOBYfiend
