Start slow. It's fine!

Of course there are conflicting opinions on this. It's up to her and her comfort level.

Just like some people completely avoid mayo, lunch meat, etc. During pregnancy... and others don't.

I didn't do Bucha during my pregnancy. My MW said not to for two reasons, one the alcohol

(so minimal, but could maybe be a concern with home brew) but more so because it is a detox and detox is not recommended during pregnancy. I don't think my diet was that healthy before and that was a concern for me.

If I'd know about chlorella then...I probably would have slowly and in moderation.

(with bentonite clay baths too

)

i did but i started way slow. like 1/4 cup every other day, and just slowly built up.

and blondie-- i do best when i write on the calendar when i brewed so i know when to check

I had to start writing down which container I bottled from last because I kept forgetting.

blondie · 04-16-2013, 10:50 PM

Oh, I do write it.

Should be fine to do KT while pregnant. People do all the time in Mongolia, Russia, Eastern Europe and parts of Europe. Just start way slow and be mindful while doing so as it does cleanse you out. If you're doing the normal crunchy hippie-dippie stuff, it's really not a huge change for your body. If you aren't though, it can be a bit uncomfortable.

dakotablue · 04-17-2013, 10:28 AM

So...how do you all clean your 2nd ferment containers inbetween refills?

cobluegirl · 04-17-2013, 10:30 AM

I don't clean the main container. the second ferment bottles I use are old kt bottles.. I just run them through the dishwasher.

that's what I have...I wasn't sure if I'd have to sterilize all over again....or just rinse...

Glitterfish · 04-17-2013, 02:14 PM

I use old honey jars to 2nd ferment, and I run them through the dishwasher too. I don't wash the main KT jar though... at the most I might rinse it occasionally.

My scoby has a bubble! I think there was air trapped between the mother and a baby formed between the mother and the air pocket. What should I do?

JenLovie · 04-23-2013, 06:35 AM

It's okay to pop the bubble with a knife. Mine gets them, too.

dakotablue · 04-23-2013, 09:22 AM

I got them this time too, I just poked them with my (clean) finger

I started a 2nd gallon 2 days out from first, we are going through this stuff way too fast (Pumpkin loved it!)

Stiina · 04-23-2013, 09:36 AM

Oh! Wow. Interesting. That is good to know!

happyhousewife · 04-23-2013, 12:00 PM

I was scared to touch it with something metal so I used a clean toothpick. It was TOUGH!!! LOL

So if you do a continuous brew what kind of container do you use. I have been stalking some on Amazon but I'm not sure which ones to buy. I keep thinking that no plastic is supposed to touch it so what about the spigot thing?? Isn't that plastic?
