Just wanted to drop a comment that this is like the 8th video of yours I've watched in 2 days. I really appreciate your experiments and how you do everything, would love to see you making videos again

Where did you get the gasket washer and bolt. My gauge is 1/8” mpt

Thanks for the video, is the taste in the stainless steel as good as the glass jars

Do you recommend it as gift to someone who is in to making his own kambucha?

Hi Kev, great video, very informative, thank you, I produce kombucha in Mexico, and trying to start with hard kombucha also, for measuring the ABV with a hydrometer, would I be measuring the initial SG after F1, or would it be after I add the yeast and 1 cup sugar?

I hear stuff like "don't stir with a metal spoon, the SCOBY doesn't like that" and in this video the SCOBY hotel is a metal container. Is that SCOBY doesn't like metal thing all just BS?

HI, I bought Hop Pellets online from Amazon, I'm not sure if I have to dry then first before I put them in my kombucha? I tried putting them into my kombucha straight from the packed but after a few hours I noticed there was a layer of oil from the hops im assuming?, is this normal ?

Should be around 3 to 4 % ABV. Interesting a kombucha based sugar wash tea beer with fruit flavor. A pound of sugar(2.25 cups) should almost double the ABV. I guess some of the lactobacillus in the kombucha would be lower after alcoholic fermentation.

Hi Kev! Does the airlock prevent further fermentation and just allow flavoring? I'm curious because does the lack of oxygen stop the process? If it does continue to ferment, how do you know if it won't ferment too much and not be similar taste to your F1?

Listening to this guy is like pulling teeth or scratching fingernails on a chalk board. Practice your process and get it right BEFORE making us watch a horrible video that is a silly trial effort!!!

Can we use stainless steel container for fermentation?

Seems like it should have netted higher ABV. Good vid though, thanks mate!

Do you cover the lid with a cloth during primary fermentation or do you put the lid on with an airlock? I have some brewing equipment but I've only seen people cover the fermentation vessel with cloth - presumably to allow for lots of oxygen during fermentation.

Dont worry it'll come back its not gone forever.

Have you ever used fruit puree for flavoring?

THANK YOU!!!!

You can still use your hygrometer. Thanks for the video

Do you think it is okay to use a plastic fermenter for F2? I used the plastic fermenter for beer, however kombucha is more acidic..

Hello! Thanks for the thorough explanation. I'm trying to understand whether, after being forced carbonated into the keg, is it possible to move the carbonated booch further into individual bottles?(to be able to have it not by tap) If so, for how long/nice will it still be able to keep its carbonation? Thank you!

Did you actually let clean water run into the drainage for 15 minutes? Do you do it on every brew? I’m I hope you stop making kombucha soon

The point he misses is that excessive pressure buildup resulting in an explosion can be caused by the amount of sugar added at the beginning of the second fermentation. Think about it. Adding a lot of sugar is exacerbating the carbonation process.

Can you do the second fermentation in the stainless steel vessel? And not in a keg? Then just bottle and throw in the fridge?

I, too, have enjoyed that herb grinder. Thanks for the recipe!

Hi, I have a question about using a keg system to prepare Nitro Coffee using a 4-kilogram nitrogen gas cylinder with a pressure of 40psi. What quantity can I prepare until the nitrogen gas cylinder becomes empty?"

Show!!!! I LOVED

Great videos, I’m glad I found them! I’m just starting with brewing kombucha and plan to keg as well. These videos will be very helpful as I navigate through the process!

Hi Kev, how long are you beverage lines? I have been doing lots of research with beer line length but was wondering if this is the same for bucha?

Awesome video I love how you give some thorough details. Question: what line and ball locks do you use? I don’t trust these chinglish Amazon listings, and want to make sure I’m buying kombucha safe ones for my DIY kegerator setup. Thanks!

Hi Kev, how many kiwis for a 1 gallon batch?

Hello Kev, i have a question: Why you only use green teen to make jun? why not black, or oolong or others? or even a blending of teas ?

What all equipment did you use during this process can you add descriptions and links? Thx

Kombucha Kev! Great video thanks for all the info, I'd just suggest a mic to get better quality audio into your videos. Other than that the content was great and super helpful. Cheers!

Bad sound we cannot hear to well

Thanks for the cool demo but did you use a camera from the early 2000's to record this? jk

Can you really do second ferments with the air locks designated for beer? wouldnt they release all the extra pressure, meaning you end up with flat kombucha?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I'm only 5 brews in but love the booch and processes. This is the info I need to get to the next level. Thanks kev!

Just found your channel, it's awesome! Why no recent vids though 🤔

About to make this. Did the kiwi juice come from the 5 you cut up?

This is pure brilliance.

Great videos! Pretty much answered the questions I have about kegging kombucha and the whole carbonation process. I've read where some people will seal the keg and let the entire keg naturally carbonate at room temp (like in a bottle) and then put in kegerator. I guess the process of putting the keg straight in the kegerator after filling will prevent "double carbonation"?? (a term I invented)...having the sugar from the fruit release CO2 AND CO2 from the the tank. Have you ever bottled from the keg?

Can you explain a little more why you cover and use the airlock during F2? Could you just use the cloth covering like in F1?

Beautiful!

Why does GT take 30 days to do first ferment? How warm was your F1?

Costco has canned pineapple thats pure pineapple. Saves me so much time on cutting it

Where did you get this type of brewing tank you use , thank you for great video.

You might consider keeping the water from the coil to use somewhere. Very informative video though. Thanks

Hello, Question - during my fermentation with the yeast I got some kind of stringy growth in the fermentation, and on the bottom, there seems to be sediment building up. Is this possible? Is this normal? Thank you!!!!

What's your setup there? I still use 2 gallon glass jars and am wanting to upgrade.

Hey Kev thanks for the video. Where did you find those gallon jars with the holes in the top for the airlock? Also, is the starter tea just liquid from the scoby hotel? And if so, do replace the liquid the hotel afterward?
