Guest guest Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Often tastes varies... I have gotten good results and bad. Best Brown sugar I have tried was one from Whole Food .. have also gotten excellent results with a Piloncello.. Solidified brown sugar available in Latin/Hispanic grocery stores.. I have gotten a fouled smelling KT and sometime and acetone smelling KT from brown Sugar can't remember which brands do that but I find the results with White Sugar more consistent.. never a foul taste or smell ________________________________ To: original_kombucha Sent: Saturday, June 23, 2012 11:26 PM Subject: Re: Honey Has anyone tried brown sugar?

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 brown sugar is nothing more than white sugar with added molasses. It works Zoe ________________________________ To: original_kombucha Sent: Saturday, 23 June 2012, 23:26 Subject: Re: Honey Has anyone tried brown sugar? ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I often have a mental picture of some old " Russian sheep herder in a funky tent with his Kombucha fungus " does he then tell his 3rd wife to run down to the 7-11 to get some Imperial granulated white sugar or does he throw in any sweetener or sugar he has available.......

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Ha, RJ! Love it. I do use white, granulated sugar, but I'm new, and I do wish to eventually branch out. RJ's comments raise a good question. For a beverage that is 2,000 years old (or older), what DID they use to feed the SCOBY?? Dof8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I have never used brown sugar ... but I have used succinat (sugar that is " whole " where they have not separated the molasses out of it). I didn't like it as the finished KT had more of a beer taste and I don't like beer. My other half loved it. Jaxi > brown sugar is nothing more than white sugar with added molasses.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I had forgotten all about that one, used to use Sucanat when I was in California -it doesn't seem to be available in Indiana, at least not in the normal grocery stores. I can't drive anymore so just have to go where my daughter goes. My current favorite is Zulka= fairly unrefined from Mexico it is vanilla colored and has a distinctive taste of its own, not exactly raw but close enuf for my tastes.
