So I bottled my first 3 bottles of Kombucha today. I have a gallon going that I am going to pull some off and bottle on an ongoing basis.
Some of the reading I have been doing has said that a lot of the beneficial amino acids and other beneficial nutrients aren't produced until the third week of fermentation. But by then it is usually so sour most people can't/won't drink it. So if you pull out what you are going to drink and just add back to the main ferment-er you can get those other nutrients.
This link provides a more detailed synopsis of what I stated above.

Anyway, I pulled off 3 bottles(12oz) worth. I had put 10-15 thawed Blue Berries in each bottle first. Added the Kumbucha and capped.
I have 36 oz of sweet tea mix cooling in the fridge, later tonight I will add it back to my main gallon. In a week or so I will pull some more out and repeat the process.
Man I am so thrilled with this as I hate spending $3+ for a bottle of this stuff. Especially considering how easy this is and how good the homemade stuff is.
I welcome any thoughts!!
Thanks,
Tim
