Re: after 30 days fermenting KT

Hi Woody,

The key phrase here you wrote is: " I'm making herbal extracts with booch, and i

pasteurize it first. Before that i would have SCOBYs growing and such. Of course

i'm losing the probiotic qualities of the KT, but actually i don't care, i'm not

using this KT for that purpose, i'm only interested in the acid solution for

preservation. "

If you test and your Kombucha has essentially turned as acidic or more so than

vinegar, and you pasteurize it first, then you may be right and you will

probably get the results you want.

The issue is that not all Kombucha is acidic enough to preserve for long periods

of time and to leave it alive and yet under inhospitable growing conditions

could grow all kinds of things....not recommended.

I have kept Kombucha vinegar fermented herbs for weeks but not years. Let us

know how yours works out. I did not pasteurize first but then I didn't keep them

for a long time either.

Peace, Love and Harmony,

Bev
