Guest guest Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Hey Pat~~~ The answer is quite possibly; it seems to take awhile to get it going if it does end up working. I've had a couple of friends try this and I'm recalling that one had a success and the other had a flop. I suppose it just depends on the amount of bacteria you're starting off with that makes all the difference. To save you the time it may take to get it going, just let me know when you'll be at the warehouse next and I'll have one of my scoby's dropped off for you with the starter liquid.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 My first batch of kombucha is coming along nicely even though my house is definitely on the chilly side. I juiced some raspberries to add to it. Now the question is, how much raspberry juice to how much kombucha? Thanks, :-)Pat Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 MMMMMMM..... raspberry kombucha, my favorite! I have added the smashed whole berries, about 2-3 tablespoons to each bottle. Results will vary but I found this to make the most fizzy second ferments. I have had a couple blow outs as well. Open the bottle over the sink slowly! You may still get a champagne-like effect! I would start with about 1/4 cup or a bit less of the juice. Yummm...let us all know how it turns out!
