Well, since Ed doesn't seem to want to answer this question, maybe

someone else has a good answer. I'm anxious to find out so I know

what to do for my friend.

Thank you,

There are 2 kinds of cellulitis, the bumpy stuff on your legs; and the

actual bacterial infection, which is quite agonizing. If you mean the

latter, just drink as much water and KT as you can.The Germans and Russians

have demonstrated that KT is a proven antibacterial and antiviral agent.

Personally, I've known someone who had the cellulitis infection and it

resulted in the amputation of her legs and ultimately her death. To prevent

amputation, drink water. See: www.watercure2.com

and www.watercure.com

Yes, , you are right, of course.

I've worked out that I, weighing about 200 imp pounds (14 st) would have to

drink 100floz which my converter says is about 12 American cups.

In metric that would be about 3 litres which is much more than I can

manage ATM.

I recently read that half that amount (and I struggle with that) was

sufficient ...or would you say 'better than nothing' ;-)

It also said to start with 3 cups and gradually work up to the

amount desired.

How do you do it, ?

becoming a water baby....

what really helps is to just have a large water bottle with you as much of

the time as possible. I always have one at my desk, in my car, at my sewing

table, etc. Then you just start taking drinks without thinking much about

it and pretty soon your bottle is empty. Of course, you fill up again on

the way out of the loo!

Thanks very much, Leeann :-)

Yes, your idea is tops .... as long as I remember the bottle, or as long

as our family bottles don't get mixed up (cheating may never be far away ;-)

Your last sentence tells me that you belong to the indefatigable stout

hearted not to be defeated tribe.

I need to take a leaf out of your book.

God bless you!

Thanks Margret! I probably left something out though - I do Bikram yoga

which demands that you drink a lot of water - but it reminds you to stay

well hydrated even on days when you're not doing it. I stopped desiring

coffee fairly soon after I started yoga - now after I have my mandatory pot

of PG Tips in the morning the only bevs I crave are water and KT - and red

wine in the evening, which probably doesn't help the hydration...

I use a Belgian mineral water which contains a very low rate of dry residue.

Is it your own well? My in laws used to have great water until they had to

share their well and now chlorine is added. Yuck!

We have spring water that goes through a sediment filter under the house,

and then we put it through a multi-pure filter at the sink. We live

rurally and the spring water is caught into a redwood tank.

I mainly use water which I distill in a stainless steel distiller (I believe

that is considered the " steam method " ), but I have also used our tap water

which is very, very good and have not had any problems. Regardless of which

I use, I boil it for 5 minutes before adding the sugar, then 2 minutes more

before removing from heat and adding the tea.

I use boiled tapwater and filtered water to top up the sweet tea

and cool it down for the cultures.

I use water from a deep borehole on our farm. First it goes through a

Grander unit, then filtered with a Brita water filter, and boiled. The Brita

is used to remove the slight copper taste from our water. I have copper

pipes in my house. I'm thinking about getting a RO system in the future. But

I suspect that RO messes up the water's " good vibe " . Chris

Lol Shari, I just read and copied what is written on the bottle! I think it

is the amount of stuff which is left when all the water is evaporated.

I know that this water is extremely pure and with not a lot of minerals. I

use it for KT in hope that nothing will interfere with the process of

fermentation.

Len,

If boiling for 10 minutes, doesn't most your water boil away? I would

appreciate more information on how you get your 3 quarts after boiling for 10+

minutes as I'm having some problems with my brews and I think it may be due to

water.

I boil with a normal lid on which helps super heat slightly above boiling

and results in less loss. I would say I boil about 5% to 10% extra to

compensate for the loss. Sometimes I throw a couple ounces away because I

put on too much, but that is not really significant when preparing 2

gallons. I also boil the last minute with the lid off. Not sure this makes

any difference, just a habit back from the days when I used treated water.

I also have a stock of distilled water my wife prefers to drink. So on

those occassions I come up a little short I just throw some in.

Hi Nora, and lovely to meet you on list and on your web below :-)

> www.soap-please.com/NoraB/

> www.cozykitchen.com

Boiling water for 10 minutes I find totally unnecessary and wasteful

in terms of energy, quite apart from making the windows drip with

condensation!

If your water is drinking water, be it spring or tap, I consider it

sufficient to bring the water up to boiling, give it half a minute perhaps,

to allow any chlorine to boil off, and then add the tea for steeping.

That is what I do, and my Kombucha is wonderful, no hint of any

chemical abnormality.

But, of course, if your water is polluted with germs and unmentionables,

it would be better to invest in a very good filter or distillation

unit.

With friendly greetings,

kombuchaly,

Margret:-)

I should note that I have a fairly high bacteria count in my well so I do

this as a precaution for others who may drink the tea as well as to

eliminate the risk of contaminating my starter.

I prefer not to filter or treat our well because the water tastes so good.

My wife on the other hand prefers to drink store bought distilled water.

When we calculated the cost of maintenance for proper filtration and killing

the bacteria, buying store bought distilled water turned out to be a whole

lot cheaper at a buck a gallon.

" Dry residue " means the mineral content.
