Guest guest Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Hi Jeff, Just tell us the name of the town or city and state you live in and perhaps someone who lives near you will share a Kombucha start for you either for free or for shipping charges only. There is also a folder in our FiLES section called " Kombucha for Free " which has the names and emails of list members who share Kombucha Peace, Love and Harmony, Bev > > Wanted to ask where to purchase starter. I've seen a few places online but also recall an email here in which people discussed differences in starter (acidic vs. non-acidic) maybe. Not positive about that bit. Any help greatly appreciated.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I just received a couple of beautiful Scobys from SweetEvil here on this site... You might try her! > ** > > > Hi Jeff, > > Just tell us the name of the town or city and state you live in and > perhaps someone who lives near you will share a Kombucha start for you > either for free or for shipping charges only. > > There is also a folder in our FiLES section called " Kombucha for Free " > which has the names and emails of list members who share Kombucha > > Peace, Love and Harmony, > Bev > > > > > > > Wanted to ask where to purchase starter.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 re acidity, it's a function of the bacterial component and there are ways to influence that well described by len porzio under " DECREASING THE RATIO OF YEAST TO ACETOBACTER POPULATIONS " on this page http://users.bestweb.net/~om/kombucha_balance/ another thing to think about is the acetic vs lactic acid issue, where i think acetic acid bacteria are desirable, but i don't know enough about it... in a nutshell, your scoby will change over time responding to the environment, regardless of its source. > > Wanted to ask where to purchase starter.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Thanks, Bev. I'm outside Syracuse, NY. Is there a difference in starters that's significant. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hi Jeff, Yes, Kombucha from different people will be different in many ways: depending on the water they have, the teas they choose to use and the sugars. Quite quickly, it will all be transformed into your unique culture which hopefully you will share with many other people.
