Re: NOW: Kombucha changes, WAS Re: anyone have an extra scoby?

I picked up the Botanic #7 at Seward yesterday. They didn't have any

Original (plain) or Gingerade, which are my two favorites. Only the fruity

flavors.

I thought it didn't have as much " bite " as I remembered, so they're probably

not letting it ferment as long to keep the alcohol content down. Also, it

seemed much more fizzy.

I found this article (interview), and here's what I gleaned from it: what's on

shelves now is what was pulled a few months ago. GT Dave is working on a new

line called AP5. It will be considered alcoholic and it's availability on

shelves will depend upon which state you live in. It will have more than the

0.5% alcohol that grocery stores allow (unless they are allowed a liquor

license), but less that beer. It sounds like they want to keep the alcohol level

as low as possible. Here's a link to the interview:
