Glacier water

[divrguy]

Have been brewing beer, some wine, ciders and meads for years now. Stumbled on Kombucha 6 months ago and got hooked on it. So, I Am growing a scoby right now for my first batch. I have read and read and read and there are a bunch of conflicting answers as usual everywhere. Can I dissolve sugar in 1quart of warm glacier//distilled/RO water and then cool it down with top up glacier or distilled? Just wondering. Can't wait to make my first batch

How are you planning to get the tea in there?

In where?

To answer the question as it was asked: yes
This is the procedure I use to make mine. I heat only about 1500ml of distilled water, and steep my teas. Then remove tea and add sugar. Since I make about 10L each time, I'll pour this tea in a brew bucket and top up to 10L with room temp distilled water.

In your brew, of course. One of the reasons people boil is to steep the tea.
