Re: kombucha 101 thread!
Stiina, since we started drinking kombucha we hardly ever get sick now and if we do feel something coming on it never gets to be a full on cold or whatever.

Re: kombucha 101 thread!
When can my baby SCOBY become a big kid and make it's own batch? What should I look for to let me know she's ready? (yes it's a she, I'm surrounded by boys here, the baby SCOBY is a girl)

Re: kombucha 101 thread!
That's fab, Norma!!! Looking forward to that in our home too :)
HWMB - bump for your question :) |
Re: kombucha 101 thread!
Is it thick enough to handle, or is it still very thin?
|
Re: kombucha 101 thread!
It seems fairly thick but I don't know what to expect if I try to move it. I put a straw in there to draw some tea out and it seemed kind of stiff. :scratch
|
Re: kombucha 101 thread!
i would say if its movable- its good to go :tu..like 1/4 in. thick?
does anybody else just pour off glasses of KT with the scoby just floating on top? i used to do the straw thing to taste it..but i think i just like it at all stages..so from about the 5th day..im just pourin' glasses baby- till its gone :cool |
Re: kombucha 101 thread!
If that is the case, I am brewin' TOMORROW :cool

Re: kombucha 101 thread!
I didn't mind the GT Dave's cranberry, that was the first of that brand I tried and compared to High Country (which was nasty) so I thought it was fine and sweeter than anything else I'm drinking on GAPS. :lol GT Dave's Mango was way sweet for me. However I only got the cranberry once, the one I grab whenever they have it, over any other kind, is GT Dave's gingerade. :yum It's like real gingerale.
Today I'm going to turn my starter brew and SCOBYs into two one gallon brews. :rockon |
Re: kombucha 101 thread!
the GTs Gingerade..oh.my.word. :yum
i do a double ferment with apple juice & fresh ginger sometimes, really delicious! |
Re: kombucha 101 thread!
I had some SCOBY text help from cobluegirl a couple weekends ago. I let my gallon jar sit for like.... 18 months maybe. The scoby was huuuuuuge. To get it out of the jar was like birthing a placenta! :haha
I got a couple chunks of it and tossed the rest. I restarted the process (I actually need to jar it today). Hoping that monster scoby mess doesn't kill me. :shifty |

Re: kombucha 101 thread!
I never thought of it until now... but :roll
|
Re: kombucha 101 thread!
Allllllrighty, I tossed my SCOBY and the very vinegar-ish liquid into a gallon jar with fresh sweet tea! The house is in the mid 60s, so should I give it a full week before sampling?
