Guest guest Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hi Rhonda from Minnesota! So, by American standards you're quite a Northerner? > I have been making Kombucha for about two years but have never made > flavored Kombucha and I wanted to learn more about it. What kind of teas have you been brewing with so far? Talking about 'flavoured', did you have anything particular in mind? Some flavours like Earl Grey and Jasmine tea I still consider ordinary teas which I use in a mix of other, plainer greens, blacks, oolongs and whites. When I use Nettle leaves or hibiscus flowers or any herbs for flavour or efficacy, I keep the brew/cultures separate from the plain ordinary ones, as I use these teas/herbs in the main fermentation process. You can also leave your ordinary brew plain as it's always been and add some fried fruit, mashed ginger or any natural flavours you fancy after you have harvested your KT. I have also tried fresh raspberries, which impart a wonderful fruity flavour and pink hue - extra yummy. > The person that taught me how to make Kombucha told me that you have to > keep the scoby refrigerated in between batches ... I would beg to disagree with her there. Kombucha cultures are happiest if left (even idly) in a kind of 'Kombucha hotel' with plenty of liquid at room temperature, covered like your ordinary brewing container. I would suggest you only use glass for such a 'holding container', as the liquid gets very acidic. Fridge climate puts the culture into hibernation mode, and it will take ages to get into brewing mode again, and sometimes never brew well again. Just my observation from about 30 years of brewing. So, to your question: I never refrigerate my Kombucha culture. > Also, some people say that you have to use glass containers for bottling > but others say that the glass can explode. What have you been using so far, Rhonda? I use both plastic drinks soda bottles (the ones that can stand up to pressure and also glass bottles that have had a bubbly/fizzy drink in it before, with screw tops. I do regularly test a bottle of a particular batch to know when I have to burp the bottles and let out excess CO2 to prevent bottles breaking under the pressure. It's really up to you what you feel happier with. I use both. ;-) > What do people normally use to bottle the flavored kombucha? I bottle all my Kombucha, flavoured and unflavoured in glass and plastic. I find that flavoured KTs tend to get fizzy more quickly either because of extra vit C (Hibiscus) which is a yeast booster, or because of extra fructose from the fruit, which means more fizz. So you need to be more alert in that case and supervise your bottles more closely. I hope this has answered some of your questions. Wishing you much enjoyment with your brewing. Note, it's not an exact science and has a very large room for experimentation. Never a dull moment!

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hi, Rhonda, I like to make jars of sweet dried cherries and plums( italian, chinese or local honeyplums)Cover them with tart KT,to the brim.. and in a few days, they are soaken with KT, plump and fizzy too. I use wider mouth jars for this, but make sure they are lined with specially heavy coating to withstand acidity in KT. GT bottles seem to work,but you might have to use chopsticks to remove them.. i never had an explosion. They are built in for expension. Top my cold drinks with kombucha-fully filled cherries and with a sprig of mint. Healthy, and bursting with flavor,take a few on the road:)Peace, Jahjet > > Hi Rhonda from Minnesota!

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Hi Margret, I wanted to welcome Rhonda to the group also let her know she " came to the right place " ! I check out this group several times daily and always learn so much about kombucha. I am puzzled about using plastic soda bottles. This is the first time I have read that someone uses them. I thought food grade glass only. I use GT bottles and wondered what kind of plastic soda bottle you are referring to? Something like club soda or ginger ale bottles and what sizes do you use? I have a limited supply of GT bottles and make a CB...I have not been able to store any KT for any period of time because of bottle shortage. My CB produces finished tea the next day..Amazing!! I can't keep up with this production even sharing with my neighbor!! I love my tea and don't want to interfere with this wonderful bubble making batch. I saved plastic soda bottles when I first began my KT adventure but never used them after researching that they might not be safe. Anyway....not to rattle on....but would appreciate feedback. Cheers! ________________________________ From: Margret Pegg <Minstrel@...> kombucha tea Sent: Sat, February 6, 2010 12:03:38 PM Subject: Re: new to this group Hi Rhonda from Minnesota!

What kind of teas have you been brewing with so far? Talking about 'flavoured', did you have anything particular in mind? Some flavours like Earl Grey and Jasmine tea I still consider ordinary teas which I use in a mix of other, plainer greens, blacks, oolongs and whites. When I use Nettle leaves or hibiscus flowers or any herbs for flavour or efficacy, I keep the brew/cultures separate from the plain ordinary ones, as I use these teas/herbs in the main fermentation process. You can also leave your ordinary brew plain as it's always been and add some fried fruit, mashed ginger or any natural flavours you fancy after you have harvested your KT. I have also tried fresh raspberries, which impart a wonderful fruity flavour and pink hue - extra yummy. > The person that taught me how to make Kombucha told me that you have to > keep the scoby refrigerated in between batches ... I would beg to disagree with her there. Kombucha cultures are happiest if left (even idly) in a kind of 'Kombucha hotel' with plenty of liquid at room temperature, covered like your ordinary brewing container. I would suggest you only use glass for such a 'holding container', as the liquid gets very acidic. Fridge climate puts the culture into hibernation mode, and it will take ages to get into brewing mode again, and sometimes never brew well again. Just my observation from about 30 years of brewing. So, to your question: I never refrigerate my Kombucha culture. > Also, some people say that you have to use glass containers for bottling > but others say that the glass can explode. What have you been using so far, Rhonda? I use both plastic drinks soda bottles (the ones that can stand up to pressure and also glass bottles that have had a bubbly/fizzy drink in it before, with screw tops. I do regularly test a bottle of a particular batch to know when I have to burp the bottles and let out excess CO2 to prevent bottles breaking under the pressure. It's really up to you what you feel happier with. I use both. ;-) > What do people normally use to bottle the flavored kombucha? I bottle all my Kombucha, flavoured and unflavoured in glass and plastic. I find that flavoured KTs tend to get fizzy more quickly either because of extra vit C (Hibiscus) which is a yeast booster, or because of extra fructose from the fruit, which means more fizz. So you need to be more alert in that case and supervise your bottles more closely. I hope this has answered some of your questions. Wishing you much enjoyment with your brewing. Note, it's not an exact science and has a very large room for experimentation. Never a dull moment!

Hi , I was talking about Great British plastic drinks bottles of the Lucozade/pepsi type.These are all food grade acid resistant plastic, also pressure reistant as they're produced for carbonated beverages. As such they are considered safe to use. I am happy about that. However, most of the bottles I use ARE glass bottles and can resist pressure to a certain degrees.The only bottles I would not recommend are wine bottles, as these are made for still drinks. Glass bottles that have contained fizzy/carbonated drinks I have foud suitable for Kombucha. Even then, I still will unscrew a bottle of an older batch after a few days to release any build-up of pressure, I never had a bottle explode on me, but had 'splits' with ensuing mess on the tiled kitchen floor, when I have been negligent 'burping' the bottles. My bottles are 3/4 or 1 litre bottles, but can be smaller as well. Size is really immaterial. > I have a limited supply of GT bottles and make a CB... I do batch brewing because of unavailability of a large enough brewing container with a spigot. Bottles are also very convenient to take to friends and family, which I regularly do. Well, , that's the story from my side of the Big Pond. Hope it helps!. All the best with blessings!
