Guest guest Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hi, Replying to the suggestion to drink the more acidic KT for a yeast infection. Does that mean that drinking the regular KT will feed the infection rather than help cure it, or the vinegary KT will just help faster? I guess this is related to diabetics drinking KT too, because there is still a significant amount of sugar left, I have read, in young KT, say 7-8 day ferment, or even 10 day ferment? And if drinking the more acidic KT is better for yeast infections, then what about this? 6.35 Are any components in Kombucha Tea lost during lengthy fermentation times? R. Roussin, author of the Research Paper " Analyses of Kombucha Ferments: Report on Growers " says : " The common ferment will have everything in balance at around 7 or 8 days, after that you lose many of the benefits to excess oxidation and conversion. When it tastes good, it is good. There are no less than 30 compounds produced by this ferment, and many of those are transitory. You want to drink this ferment when it's drinkable, otherwise several compounds have been fermented out. " I had heard before that during the second fermentation is when you get more benefits. I guess this differs from the time that it is fermenting with the scoby? So, with scoby, fermenting too long causes loss of benefits? and without scoby, a second fermentation increases the benefits? P.S. I don't like my KT vinegary as a beverage. ~nita I am now an affiliate of ErgoBaby.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hi, Nita, the sugars get converted in brewing, like in riped bananas. Maybe not as bad as sugars would be.. I usually ferment for 10-13 days.. Peace,Jahjet > Hi, > Replying to the suggestion to drink the more acidic KT for a yeast infection.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hmmm, that's quite an interesting quote from Roussin, Nita! (and he should know, he's studied kt so much) I've always heard that continuous brew has the best balance of the little beasties. In all honesty, I drink kt more b/c it is yummy, fun to make and experiment with, and a heck of a lot more healthy than a lot of other things I used to drink!

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I let mine cook/set for about 10 day, its more tart than sweet. I am now finding I am having lots of scoobies. My hotel is getting full. so I have begun to cut them up in small squares and place some in the drinking bottles. Thinking if the kombucha tea is good for you then the scoopies are also. I try to drink a bottle every morning. Is there anything wrong with consuming the scoobies also? from columbus ohio > > Hi, > Replying to the suggestion to drink the more acidic KT for a yeast infection.
