Guest guest Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Hi EveryOne, Just found this in one of the Kombucha threads compiled by Bob . This is part of a post written by Mike Roussin many years ago ..... Again it confirms the presence of gluconic acid, fructose and acetic acid in all of the samples they tested. Other sugar acids were also present but varied from sample to sample. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We gave Everyone the amounts of gluconic acid, acetic acid, and fructose In solution. This is in all " commercial " solutions. The total " other " sugar acids include 2-keto-gluconic acid, 5-keto-gluconic Acid, saccharic-acid-1,4 lactone, itaconic acid, succinic acid, 2-keto-3-deoxy-gluconic acid,2-5-diketo-gluconic acid, saccharic Acid, oxalic acid, etc. And they are either not there, or are Found in different concentrations in different ferments. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace, Love and Harmony, Bev Kombucha Manna Drops: http://www.bestweb.net/~om/kmi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 I still think that the Kombucha has alcohol in it. Some of my brew foams like beer when poured over ice, and has a sharp, tangy taste that is very nice. Also, after a large glass of that, I am more relaxed than usual (instead of being an A type, I'm told by family that I'm a C-) and just want to take a nap.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hi Pat, Others have also described a buzz or relaxation they get from drinking KT others feel more energy. The " cold draft " isn't from alcohol it is from carbonation..... Kombucha made according to the directions most of us are using is less than 1% alcohol....however you can tweak the directions to make a higher alcohol content. I've never done that, I like it just the way it is:-)) Peace, Love and Harmony, Bev KOMBUCHA MANNA DROPS - Safe, Convenient, Effective and Easy to use.
