Altering Alcohol Content?

May 26, 2011

greetings ,

to answer your question first, yes i have played around with this as many more

have.

there is a simple solution and realization for this right now beyond any kind of

doubt-

when a kombucha scoby, culture or living brew is exposed to isolated

carbohydrates

at any point, directly, it will inevitably result in inharmonious alcohol

production by all

yeast present that will not be converted into organic acids by its correlating

bacteria!

the fundamental facts of this are: 1.isolated carbohydrates(i.e. any sugars

outside a

whole food source) are drugs by definitions established before any of us were

born!

2.isolated sugars are not specifically nutrients for any scoby organism because

they

are stripped of their natural relationship to fiber, starch, minerals, proteins,

and other

nutritive components. so, i suggest not going to war with mother nature|she

provides!

1.a scoby feeds & develops by receiving multiple nutrient sources in kombucha

brew

2.carbohydrates being one of these, if in drug form, will overstimulate yeasts

present

3.yeasts will grow out-of-sync with bacteria and produce more alcohols than

bacteria

can convert into organic acids destabilizing a symbiosis within this culture

community

4.subsequent brew will contain excess(unconverted) alcohols and remain present

for

the entirety of the remaining duration of the brewing process after exposure

occurs*

5.solutions: feeding cultures whole food carbohydrates with sun-dried

grape|raisins,

dates, figs, prunes, cherries, mulberries, apricots or any naturally sweet kind

of fruit

that is succulent when its fresh. using dried fruits will be more practical to

feed them.

simply soaking the dried sweet fruit of choice in the tea infusions that will be

brewed

into kombucha will more than suffice the carbohydrate needs and flourish the

scoby

overnight soaking|cold-steeping is humbly suggested in cool space, cooler or

fridge.
