Most recently did ginger/strawberry/rhubarb = YUM!

TraceMama · 07-11-2013, 07:43 AM

So, if my scoby has been refrigerated in a tight container for the last 10-12 months

, can I take it out of the fridge and use it to try again?

2TMama · 07-11-2013, 07:53 AM

I would just try & see! You wouldn't be out much if it doesn't, right? I haven't been at this for that long.....my SCOBY has never hibernated more than a few weeks....but it seemed fine at that point.

Let us know how it goes....you don't have much to lose by trying!

Has it has some KT with it?

I made watermelon flavored KT (I just threw chunks in the bottles). Amazing. SO tasty. Subtle and sweet.

2TMama · 07-11-2013, 08:08 AM

Ohmygosh....Jennifer, that sounds delish! Too bad I have not been drinking KT since I found out about baby #3.....(did you while pg and or nursing?)

I did not while pregnant, I am while nursing.

ok, I've only made it through pg 8 and I don't know if I have the patience to read all the way through before asking.

I don't have a SCOBY but I do have a bottle of store kombucha. It's raw and organic. I was thinking of attempting to make my own SCOBY from it? *BUT*, it's not plain - it has organic ginger juice in it. Will it still work to (maybe) form a SCOBY?

I wouldn't use a flavored one, you could get mold or just not be totally right. Also, what kind is it, specifically? I ask because I've read that some, even raw now, don't make SCOBYs. Since the govt pressured them to play by the alcohol regulations, GT (and maybe others) has two different kinds, one has a tiny amount that is under the regulation limits"(Enlightened" I think) and one that is probably over ("Classic"). For GT's, the Classic will probably work while the Enlightened one probably won't.

If you lived near me I could give you a SCOBY.

If a person had amalgam fillings, would drinking KT be safe for them?

cobluegirl · 01-04-2014, 07:14 PM

hmm. I am not sure but I would venture to guess that most of us drinking it have amalgam fillings. I do.

Mama Rophe · 01-04-2014, 08:46 PM

I guess, I'd be in good company.

yeah, I finally just made it all the way through the thread. I need to check the brand of KT but I've lost hope that I can make kombucha from this stuff.

Definitely going to look for a local source for a SCOBY though. We do have a couple of GCMs nearby - hoping one of them has one.

HadassahSukkot · 01-05-2014, 11:04 AM

you could start your own from tea, but it's like a 4 week or more wait. So you have to worry about mold and bugs. :/

There are a few places online you can get them that are reputable, but it's best if you know someone who has one themselves.

As far as drinking with fillings - not a problem from what I understand. I asked the doctor and he was actually pretty amazed I even knew what Kombucha was, because that was either a "hippie" thing or something mostly the Russian and Bulgarian community do.

I apparently continue to amaze them.

solatido · 01-06-2014, 10:47 AM

So my SCOBY has been sitting in a hotel for the betterpart of a year now...

Think itwill still work? I saw a deal on amazon for a scoby, milk kefir, and water kefir grains that all ship separately for 14.99 total. I am tempted to just do that. WDYT?

cobluegirl · 01-06-2014, 10:52 AM

try it and see. I have done that before.
