I find that they burst and spill out half the bottle 🤔

I thought you are not put the scoby in contact with stainless steel or metal because it zaps it from being effective after that? Is that not true?

Im growing a scoby with flavored kombucha and seems to be growing fine. You say not to use a flavored scoby? What happens if i pour off 1/2 of the kombucha and replace it with fresh tea ,to become 1/2 flavored 1/2 fresh then again until no ginger flavor is detected?

How long does the kombucha last with the fresh fruit in it?

I burp the bottles once a day . Comes out perfect , no explosions.

How much sugar do you add each bottle ?

Hi, so interesting all your videos, that’s a lot of! I use the poly-seal caps, and at a certain point, they let leak, maybe the pressure is to high, or there are quality in those caps, can you help me to understand ? And I closed them very tight as you show

I opened my first bottle of Tepache at room temperature....😯 I tried to open it slowly thinking it might be pretty fizzy but it shot straight up and out and went everywhere...on the windows, the walls, the cupboards, the ceiling, and everything else in a 3'-4' radius. Lesson learned the hard way.

Why do you say "it's unnecessary " while we will only use it if we are out of unflavoured kombucha and we only have the scoby. Im really lost. Shall i use the scoby only with a small amount of kombutcha that comes with it, or add distilled vinegar to balance it??

I've also had calamansi kombucha problems! I recently tried bottle conditioning a batch with fresh calamansi juice from a friend's tree (in Florida, we call them "calamondin" here), mixed with fresh orange juice. Total fail, no carbonation at all! Makes me feel better that an expert like you has also had the same problem. :) Great video, I'm interested in trying to keg kombucha, and it has felt intimidating, but you made it look more doable. Thank you!

Can I use wine bottles with screw tops for my second fermentation?

I have never heard of Kombucha before. I was looking at heat mat advice for brewing beer and fermenting washes for spirit distillation, but I'm definitely going to give kombucha a try too.

Can i use a plastic bottle for fermentation

#11 the scoby is different than the pellicle. Scoby is the bacteria in the fermented tea

Can you use an Organic decaffeinated tea?

I get it. #jimcarey most of us spend the majority of our lives not being ourselves without realizing it. 🤗🤗🤗🤗

If I buy a sparkling water glas bottle, would that be a good option for a stable bottle ?

i love your knowledge

Thank you

Your video is clear, straight to the point, and informative. Subscribed and will try to make it. Thank you so much!!

Your videos have helped me so much with making homemade kombucha. Thank You! You deserve MORE views!

can you use Ikea Korken glass bottle for 2nd fermentation?

Also where can one find a SCOBY

Where'd you get your starter tea??

Thank you for this very informative video! I read that 2 and even 3 more batches of tepache can be made with the original rinds and core etc so it makes for a really budget friendly drink. You mentioned use organic where possible but if you can't get it do you soak the outside rind in a solution of diluted vinegar or bicarb to help get the pesticides off before using or does that affect the natural bacteria and yeasts that are on the rind when fermenting?

Wonderful ideas and lessons..thank you!...2 questions...do you use organic fruit...is it necessary? if using non organic do you wash it in vinegar solution to clean and If you use non organic does the 2nd fermentation negate the pesticides etc?

This was a great video, I love how you were quick to get to the point and packed the video with so much information. I'm trying to get back into brewing after taking almost ten years off.

What juicer do you recommend

Where do I get the scoby

Concise and straight forward. Thank you.

This woman has no idea what she is talking about concerning honey vs sugar. Please do some research next time.

Thank you!

can you use “sugar in the raw” organic turbonado sugar?

Thank you for covering this topic, very helpful!! 🎉

can you use brown or white sugar for this instead of sugar cane?

Hey, a little dime in about sugar. The cane sugar is not the only one valid one. There is also a sugarbeet sugar, that is exactly the same as cane sugar. If you put them side by side, you won't be able to tell the apart by any means- it is exactly the same refined sugar- the same chemical formula and nothing else in it. Sugarbeets are grown in Europe, Russia and where the climate allows. And in Europe you like 90% of cases can only buy sugarbeet sugar.

I’m in the UK . It takes 2 weeks for the first ferment . I keep mine on a shelf that covers the heating boiler . During the colder weather it keeps a constant temperature of 17 degrees C. In summer the room temperature is rarely high enough to brew in less than 2 weeks . I do get an excellent Kombucha.

I'm home beer brewer and I find this tutorial super insanitary. Leaving yeast in an open vessel without a cover, putting in a spoon that is placed on the counter, lack of hygiene products right next to it, licking a straw and putting it back into the jar. If you do this with beer, your batch would be ruined for 100%. Moreover, carrying out refermentation with a random amount of sugar also ends badly. In the case of beer, it is of great importance whether you add 80 or 100 g of sugar per 20 liters. Also amount of air you leave in a bottle is quite important - you either top it up, or you leave few cm of air. Why so inaccurate? So i have no idea why it works for you.

Best video on this topic ❤😊.

Tempat scoby ku tidak kemasukan lalat buah.Tapi secara tiba-tiba muncul belatung di bagian dalam wadah.Apakah itu masih aman ?

This was such a good video

Can you do a video about the difference between kvass and kombucha?

I was pregnant when i put away my brewing half gallons of kombucha to do “eventually” which never happened. Until today! Crazy how one of them actually activated just from me opening and closing it a couple weeks ago. Making new scobies. 7 years unopened in the basement ❤️ one is already a scoby hotel tho hahaha

My scone hotel liquid has a really strong vinegar smell and taste, is this normal?

Thankyou. I vietnamese

are those 12 oz bottles?

Thanks for the video a good step by step. Does brewing in a cooler house 65 degrees (winter temp) take longer? Also if you twist the pineapple tops off you not only get more flesh and peel, but you can place the tops in a small container of water and they will root for a future plant...

I never thought about this but thank you for making these videos that help educate a green Kombrewer like me. I'm so excited to use these leftover pickle jars for Kombucha after wrestling mentally for weeks about which fermentation I should use these jars for first. You've given me so much inspiration ✨️ please keep these videos going.

it is just normal kombucha that eats sugar in honey FFS

you look very nice for someone being 97 years old! that kombucha is really helping!
