Hi all,
I'm an average beer brewer and I want to try my hand at kombucha. I don't want to buy a scoby or kombucha to make my batch. I'd like to just culture my own bacteria and yeast for this project, if possible. Has anyone done this successfully?
I'm assuming that the majority of the bacteria is lacto and that I could culture this from apple juice. Any thoughts on adding extra yeast, or will I just try to pick up the right strains from the apple juice as well?
Thanks for the input.
I think that a big part of wanting to do all of this myself stems from not knowing where to buy kombucha and not wanting to spend any extra money on a premade scoby.
