Now THAT'S interesting!

Coincidentally, I got very good feedback on my KT last night from a friend who has never tasted it before--commercial or otherwise. It made me happy because of what use is any of this if it doesn't taste good?

Just search the archives and have a look at the home page--we have a number of inspired brewers here (Peggy got me started last summer). And for fun, grow your own SCOBY from a bottle of GTs!

emusifies a what from what??? And puts it on her skin??? I know basically

kombuchu is a fermented drink but other than that it looks like you are writing

No no--a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) is the "mushroom" (it's not, really) used to culture kombucha (usually abbreviated KT).

We nic named it the "fungus among-us" at our house. Lol

Tell how you emulsify it. Just cream it in the VM? Do you add anything to it?

I have a scoby hotel that just sits there waiting for a crisis. Lol

I make 2 gallons every 8 or 9 days. Its just enough for my husband. If I drink it

Too, which I should, I need to make 3. Maybe I will start doing that again. I like it foamy and I like it when its fresh, not a week old. I don't put it in the fridge though,

Not enough room.

Ok, just read something about a Scoby being a sort of mushroom

(fungus). Few years back allergy doc said I was allergic to mold and

fungus. Does that even pertain to this discussion. This kombucha

stuff fascinates me and I plan to research more but don't want to

make my self sick.

Not related to what your doc is talking about. Scoby is a cellulose mat hosting

lots of probiotics that are good for us,

I am doing something wrong with my KT (Kombucha Tea) It never does get fizzy. I think I'm not feeding it enough on the second fermentation. I am adding Welch's juice to the bottle before the KT but maybe not enough. For you more experienced KT folks how much do you use?Kim in OR

Now THAT'S interesting!

Coincidentally, I got very good feedback on my KT last night

from a friend who has never tasted it before--commercial or

otherwise. It made me happy because of what use is any of this

Why are you adding grape juice? I don't add anything to my KT after the first brew--I just bottle it and let it sit for three days before refrigerating it. Try pulling your brew for the following batch from the bottom of your container--that's where the CO2-producing yeast live.

"Kombucha tea"; a redundancy since "kombucha" means "seaweed (of a certain type, anyway) tea." Easier to type, however.
