Water with some kinda grape flavoring. Saving my last two Wernesgruner Pils & a bit of vodka for Friday night. Unless I can get them boys to shovel the driveway. It started melting in the extreme 44F heatwave today,but still kind deep for my lowered tuner.

Nuke's old ale. So smooth and hides the 9%+ ABV so well.

Tommyknocker Brewery Hop Strike Black IPA.

Man, this beer is WAY overcarbonated. In the picture, this was a slow pour into a room temperature glass. The beer temp was 50F. I nearly gagged when I took my first swig. Not because of the taste, but because the carbonation made it difficult to swallow.



It has a very medicinal smell to it. It is dryer than I prefer, but I like the roasted quality, though it is not nearly hopped enough to be called an IPA in my opinion... Though I wonder if the carbonation is covering up the bitterness for me?



All in all, I'm very disappointed in this beer. Anybody else try this and have a similar experience?

Looks just like an infected beer poured into a glass. Head looks like soap suds that won't go away. I know from experience I had with one of my IPAs a couple years ago

I got mine in a trade, but once you get your SCoBY going, you won't have enough jars to hold them. some folks have had great luck growing one from GT's Origional Kombucha.


find some commercial examples. GT's is probably the most popular & easiest to find.

Ok, where would I even try to find commercial versions? Hippy food stores?

All you need is some GT or HIgh country( get plain) to make a small starter for a month or so in some tea and sugar. Dump the first batch after about a month and when you get a good thin or solid size scoby,then make a bigger batch and in a few weeks or month should be good to go, its good to keep it above 70 degrees minimum also,it will go fast around 80 F. Keep it away from beer making though. I was making it for a year or two but just got tired of the chore every few weeks. I was going to make it last summer but got too lazy. That and its best to make it (ideal) in the summer or a warm spot or temp control. You may want some ph papers also to avoid making vinegar or you can go by taste using a straw to pull some out to check on tartness/sweetness. This is pretty basic as there is more to it but it is really pretty basic. I liked to use 16 oz bottles and adding a few tsp of blueberries or some other fruit to carbonate it, but you have to check on them within a week and depending how much you use you want to get them in the fridge too, there is not much control over carbonation really. I usually checked on one after 3-5 days and went from there to decide when to refrigerate the rest of them.
