Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hi, I am just returning to brewing kombucha. I was wondering how long a culture will live, without being fed more sugar and tea. I have a one gallon jar with a sealing glass lid that has been sitting for about a year and a half. The culture has pretty much filled the jar, but I can't tell if it is still alive. Thanks, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Kombucha culture is not a sturdy beast for nothing. ;-) You will probably find that the first couple of brews may take longer to get to reasonable acidity and may be lacking taste. If you can summon the patience, your long neglected culture should brew good KT for you once again. Be sure to give us a feed back on your renewed Kombucha experience. kombuchaly, Margret:-) UK -- +------------------ Minstrel@... --------------------+ <)))<>< http://www.therpc.f9.co.uk <)))<>< http://www.AnswersInGenesis.com +----------------- http://www.Gotquestions.org ------------------+ JESUS - No other name under heaven given by which we must be saved!
