I've gotten the $13 gallon of sangria at walmart several times. I usually discard the first ounces of my 1.5g distiller (save for starting fires or cleaning nails(acetone))... If you want alcohol without all the other contaminants it works. Some flavor comes through. I find it costly using this...

Is it best to just add water till it's the right thickness/consistency and add more sugar for the additional water? I Started with 6g of water and am at 9g currently. Maybe I should get out my other 5g bucket...

My first banana I did by recipe and it turned out delicious. This time I just threw things together. Maybe too many bananas this go round. Airlock on primary to stop the lid from popping off because of gas build up in the fermenter.

I filled a brew back with lots of peeled bananas. I fermented it in a 8g fermenter. Around day 3 of ferment I squeezed the brew bag a lot. Day 5 it foamed so bad, blocked my airlock, blew the lid loose, big mess of slimy liquid all over floor. I took brew bag out. I keep diluting it but its...

I don't understand why you would want a preservative in kombucha. Seems that would defeat the purpose of making a live culture. From what I have read, I would let it become vinegar and add tea when ready for sale. To my understanding preservatives will stop some of the natural (if not all)...

I'm curious about going with a higher alcohol content, is it not going to kill off some of the probiotics?

Hopefully this isn't against the rules. I found this site that has a great set of photos of what normal is like and what mold is like: Kombucha Mold/Not Mold Photos plus Brew Safety Info - Kombucha Kamp

I think the darker danglies are yeast if I understand what I have read. Please confirm. They only look dark because of lighting. You can see a danglie thing in one of the side photos is actually a tan/light brown

I have a new scoby growing in each. Looks similar to a plastic bag. As suggested I swirled the kombuchaso that the scoby went under the liquid. Both jars smell slightly vinegary with no foul smells. Thanks for y'all's words. Hopefully these pictures help make better opinions

Does mold come in all colors or is there a certain color to be aware of? And thanks for your response, much appreciated

New to kombucha. I got a s.c.o.b.y. made a half gallon of green tea with 3/4 cups raw sugar. Threw into 1/2 gallon jug, covered. After stuff started growing on top I decided to I wanted to increase my batch size. I put 2/3 of liquid from 1/2 g jar and put into 1g jar and added 1/2g of fresh...
