I purchased 2 bottles GT'S Kombucho. I was going to use it for a starter. Later I noticed later that is was flavored gingerade. Can I use this or should I find no flavor GT's

Thanks
 
I don't know the science behind kombucha yet so I'm not sure why people recommend ginger only, or plain KT.

I've been using the dregs from any bottle I drink to add to my growing mother. Seems to be working just fine.
 
It will most likely work to grow a mother, but it might carry the ginger flavor with it. The flavor will probably fade after you make a couple of batches, but I used an unflavored starter to make sure I could have plain kombucha and flavor it how I wanted...
 
I am about a week into my first attempt and i did mine with gt gingerade. so far it looks like its working out fine, but ill make a post when its all done.
