kombucha

I am experimenting with .. 1/2 cup of cinnamon 2 1/2 cups of organic raw cane sugar ziplock bag. This Scoby has been sitting in the fridge marinating since last nights transfers. I plan to let this sit a week before actually baking it at slow temperature 250-300. Never tried this before-...

Today I will be experimenting 9 cups of green tea against 5 1/2 cups of green tea brewed with freshly spent coffee grounds to create a smokey brew with trace amounts of caffeine specifically being designed for morning use or late night evening hang over continuances. The coffee brand I use is...

Hey all! I am new to the kombucha scene, and I made my first batch successfully, however I seem to have messed something up on my second. After a 3-4 days, the batch was not ready, but after tasting it every so often, it didn't seem to taste very good. It's been about a week and my batch smells...

Hi, I am looking for information on drinking Kombucha warm vs cold. I have been drinking it room temperature mostly, sometimes refrigerated. Can it maintain all the benefits after microwaving it to drink it like a hot tea? Thanks

My mother's inner hippy came out at some point and she bought a $200 kombucha kit from KombuchaKamp last year. She had never had kombucha nor has she ever a sustained a hobby very long. She decided that she didn't like how it taste so I have been gifted an old SCOBY and a bunch of other stuff...

Hi! I'm so excited to be a part of this forum! This is the second time this scoby has grown this kind of stuff. :( First time I was advised to toss the tea, rinse off scoby, try again. I'm thinking now I need to toss scoby and start afresh. Picture gives context of where I'm keeping it. No place...

I am wondering what you think of the growth on the right? How does this look? What is it?? I'm new to kombucha and super excited to be part of this community.

Hi, I've been brewing my kombucha and just went to bottle it and noticed it is already carbonated with just having the cloth (paper towel) cover over it. Is tihs normal or anything to be concerned about? It tastes fine and there is no mold or anything, but the mother I got the scoby from was a...

We need to move Kombucha from our commercial size fermenter to food grade buckets for flavoring. The fermenters are on stands but not high enough up to let gravity take its course. We’ve read that a chugger pump may be the way to go. Would love some advice as we’ve never needed pumps until now...

Hey guys and gals- I just finished my first batch of booch, and it tastes amazing, but while I was re-bottling it, I lost all my fizz. Like a ding dong, I put it in the fridge. It's been in there for about 3 hours. Can I take it out, and set it in room tempo for a day or two to get some of that...

I was wondering if anyone else has tried using a Kombucha SCOBY as a method for acidification of a sour beer?I have an overly complicated psuedopseudoLambic going right now where I used a 3-9day exposure to the SCOBY. It seems to have worked but I would be interested in hearing some thoughts on...
