Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
It looks so nice!
Actually, yours is much "cleaner" looking. Mine has lots of brown stringys/spent yeast cells on it....plus the occasional spec from a loose tea leaf that slipped through.

Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
Pretty!!!
So where's a good place to buy a scoby? I tried to grow one from a store bought bottle, but it's been sitting for 2+ weeks now and there's no sign of anything.

I'll check around, thanks. I even tried to talk DH into stopping at Whole Foods tonight, but he didn't want to.

Your scoby is so pretty. Mine is weird and ugly.
Has anyone else tried the crystalized ginger yet...it's my fave. I have one with vanilla beans I had in vanilla syrup brewing and can't wait to try it! |

Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
You think even though it's been sitting for 2+ weeks it'd be ok? Or should I get another bottle of kombucha and try again with more sugar?

Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
It IS growing a scoby!!! I noticed 2 days ago that it was starting to smell like kombucha, and then today I smelled it again, and when I looked there was the thinnest little scoby on top! I'm so excited!!!
Question though- I started some pickles yesterday. Is it ok for them to sit next to the kombucha (they both have a cloth over them) or do they need to be on separate sides of the kitchen?

I wouldn't put them next to each other.

Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
Thanks to a wonderful GCM , my SCOBY arrived today! I thought for sure it'd arrive frozen solid, but it's just really cold, no ice crystals or anything. We'll see in a couple weeks how it turns out, lol. DH is on the hunt right now to get me a larger jar. The one I had was not as big as I thought it was.
And wow, is it ever difficult to find BLACK TEA. I was just at the Superstore, thinking they'd have basics. Millions of boxes of green or orange pekoe (sp?) from all kinds of brands, lots of specialty herbal blends, and some black with flavours in it, but I must have combed over every box for fifteen minutes trying to find just plain old black. Eventually got some, ha. Tea is brewed. Just waiting on DH, and then it's SCOBY time

Orange pekoe is a variety of black tea. So is darjeeling.

Re: kombucha 101 thread! *another new question #63 and 64*
Good old Red Rose tea is black tea, I believe. Also, do you have a Bulk Barn up there? They have several selections of bulk black tea. I buy a black chai tea that is great for kombucha.
