Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I am new to Kombucha and read " Kombucha: How To and What It Is All About " by Alana Pascal. She writes, " Capped, refrigerated Kombucha should not be stored for longer than 3 days because of the risk of acetone production. Acetone is a ketone that is very destructive to your kidneys. If you discover that your Kombucha has any unusual smell, in the case of acetones it will smell 'sweetly acrid' like nail polish remover, DO NOT drink it. " I've seen many posts on how to cap and bottle but nothing mentioning this risk. Do people not have any acetone problems or perhaps drink their bottled Kombucha quickly? Does not refrigerating cut the risk? (Seems like it wouldn't since as I think I understand it acetone is produced as a byproduct of Kombucha activity with insufficient oxygen.) Any insight would be appreciated! Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
