Continuous brewing jar from Happy Herbalist??

[Guest guest]

For those that have ordered it, how do you like it?? Would you suggest

it for others to buy? I meant to buy it last week then thought I'd

wait to see how any of you liked it first since there are many others

here that are experienced at brewing KT...

Thanks!

I treated myself to a beautiful ceramic kombucha jar for continuous brewing

from 'Harmonic Health' - in the UK. They have three sizes - mine is 9 litres

I think - quite expensive but perfect in my eyes - a lovely little wooden

tap to collect from!. My first brew in it is just about ready after two weeks.

My family want to know why I've still got lots of other little brews on the go

- this 'biggy' was meant to clear the decks a bit - but I am so hooked on

this lovely stuff that I have to have a few different types on the go - Earl

Grey for example - and I want to keep the main brew a simple one with black

and green teas.

People on this site have been very supportive when I have asked for advice

about my 17 year old son Harry who has multiple allergies and digestive

problems etc. He wouldn't try KT until a couple of weeks before Christmas when

he

felt so ill he gave it a go. I started him on a tiny dose as advised (1tsp in

water after meals) - and within just a few doses I could see him change - his

face changed, his mood improved - and this improvement lasted all over

Christmas and the New Year. Better than he has felt for years. Unfortunately he

has since been very ill with a virus which has set him back a lot - we treated

it with echinacea and goldenseal, and carried in with the KT, but he is back

to being very reactive to foods, nauseous, depressed again. Hopefully things

will settle back down - but I really do believe that it was those very small

amounts of KT which turned things around before Christmas. So thank you again

for all your encouragement.

Best wishes,

,

I ordered the ceramic 2 1/2 gallon brewing urn. I should be receiving

it either tomorrow or the next day.

Will let you know how I like it.

Cheers,

Sandy

I've been using the continuous bewing system that I got from the HH for a

little over 2 years now and it works great for me. I bottle when the tea

tastes to my satisfaction and if I find I have more tea than I need I let it

sit for a little while, add the fermented tea to my extra SCOBY pot and

restart. Has worked for me

Hi Guys,

I started with gallon jars and gradually acquired the continuous

brewing paraphernalia, a piece at a time, from HH. Using the 2 1/2

gallon, heating pad and thermostat provides a continuous supply of

high quality kombucha for my wife and I. We both drink a couple of

glasses a day.

Unless you live in a climate or have a room with a constant

temperature high enough for kombucha, get the whole kit at one time

rather than piecing it together like I did.

Regards

Dennis

I need to say that a constant temperature is not at all required to brew

kombucha, nor a super warm room.

Claiming this to be so sells heaters and other products, but it's not true.

I guarantee that for most of the 2000+ years humans have been brewing

kombucha, there were no electric heating pads, and very few rooms in

Mongolia have constant temps of 72 degrees F in the winter.

Constant high temps is a myth, a myth that sells products. You don't have

to buy products to have high-quality kombucha. In fact, higher temps favor

the yeasts, when the bacteria are the ones to be encouraged.
