Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
Just an update....I am spreading the Kombucha love around my area. :giggle
My sweet SIL is trying it (easygoinmomma), I have my MIL/FIL/Greatgrandma going on it and this afternoon I have another friend from church coming out to get some "kombucha lessons" and a scoby. :rockon And I have to say, I have not had a single day of digestion issues since starting to drink a glass a day. :rockon |
Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
I was actually coming to find this thread. I have a question. I put fruit into kombucha on monday and it has been sitting on my counter since and it looks like it is growing something on the top. Is this normal?

Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
growing something as in mold? or another scoby? Did you put a lid on it?

sounds like a new scoby... should be fine!
|
Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
I agree. Mine always look kind of like they have a skim on them, with the fruit...it is another scoby forming. I just throw it out.

Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
It is kind of creepy. :shifty

Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
I was very intrigued to see this thread. I am very curious to try kombucha. I saw it recently sold in my local grocery store health section. Kinda pricey though.
I have to admit that I am very nervous about trying to make my own. Of course I am nervous about making other fermented foods. A subject probably for another thread. :) I think I may have to try the store bought one at least once or twice at first. |
Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
So, um, how sour is it suppose to be? Dh and I tried our first cup tonight and it was VERY sour.

Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
how long did it sit? the longer it sits the more sour it gets. If you don't like that flavor don't let it sit that long.
|
Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
It sat on the counter without fruit for 2 weeks and then almost a week with the fruit in it.

Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
I don't like it to sit that long at all. I know Lisa and others do. I usually only let it sit with the scoby for 7-8 days (but I sniff it often. When it starts to first get that tangy smell, then I know it is done) and then with fruit for 2. Then into the fridge. I let a batch get too sour last week...I just dumped it out. :shrug3

Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
So I've tried a few more flavors and I am really starting to love this stuff. It definitely is an acquired taste. It kept our family from getting a bad cold that was going around over thanksgiving. We all felt it starting to come on and I made everyone drink a big glass of kombucha and we started to get better.
AND I talked to my SIL today, and her husband has been brewing kombucha for a while now and is bringing me a scoby over Christmas!!! So I'm hooked. :) I'll be back later to read this all through when I actually get to brew some after Christmas. I do have ONE question - where do you get half gallon jars? Or gallon jars? What is a reasonable price for these jars? Ok, that was three. :giggle |
Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
I've begged around for my jars. :giggle But a couple of them have the label on them and they were from pickles or something from a restaurant. I'd ask around at some local eateries (not fast food) and see if they would keep some empty jars for you.
