Violent Scoby

Has anybody ever been attacked by a large SCOBY? Sometimes I think it’s watching me.

Since it's a Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast, THEY are watching you.
Never turn your back on a SCOBY!

Kombucha Kamp has a video of it crawling out of the jar. You’ve been warned!

First batch from my new used oak barrel.

Very nice! How does it taste from the oak barrel?
What flavours did you do?

Also what was the barrel previously used for?

I would be keen to use a barrel but I might have to settle for oak chips instead. Anyone have any experience with using oak chips in Kombucha?

Thanks!

I bought the barrel used from someone who had been using it for kombucha. I think it was bought new and only ever used for kombucha. It’s been used so many times I don’t think the oak is contributing any flavor.

I used some blueberries in a few, some ginger and some lime zest. The lime zest was great.
