Hello, new here. Not so new to kombucha. I now have six one gallon jars of very healthy mother cultures. They have been in hotel state for some time. I am planning to discard a majority of them, keeping one gallon as a hotel and five for brewing.
I was just using tapwater with one cup of sugar per gallon of water. Roughly 60/40 green to black tea. Nothing special.
About second fermenting. Before the kombucha is normally 'ripe' or ready, by the guess of a day or two I would bottle with a measured amount of desired fruit juices and let sit at brewing temp for an additional two to four days?
Also, any recipies for kevita/master brew pineapple peach?
I was wanting to attempt some essential oils such as lilac and lavender. Any and all pointers here would be great.
Finally, any recommendations for what to do with my excess of mother cultures? They are so over grown now, it is basically one giant culture in a gallon jar. Am going to figure a way for cutting it up and redistributing.
The hotel juice is roughly four months old.. planning on retaining only a single cup with very large mothers and allowing a few additional days to start over again.
Thank you,
