Homemade Kombucha on Tap

[@Stephenhughes1968]

This was a nice video. I brew beer a lot at home and keg condition my beers. I will now be using some of the setup to second ferment the kombucha. Kegland now do 8 and 4 litre bottles that act as a small keg which may be more in reach of people and using a Sodastream bottle to carbonate the smaller volumes in a more portable way that can sit in most large domestic fridges.

Congratulations! 👶 💝 We had a local health food store that sold kombucha on tap in a keg like these. It was fantastic to fill up a 2L, but then Covid. So, I got a scoby from a friend and found your channel. You are so knowledgeable, thank you for sharing all of your information 😊 💗

The stainless steel ball lock post on the gas side looked loose when you attached the quick-connect fitting. You should tighten the post if it is loose. A worm gear clamp on the hose at the fluid side fitting could save you from a mess too. I love kegging kombucha for it's consistency and especially the speed with a carbonation stone lid. But I have had my fair share of messy mistakes with Cornelius kegs. Love your videos!

So...did it work? How was the carbonated flavor of calamansi?

[@alyssa1928]

Why do you strain the yeast out?

[@antd2733]

Can you do this but with the c02. Just use the natural fermentation co2. Would the keg explode from too much pressure kinda like what happens to glass bottles when i dont burp

[@reinnie1]

Keg wouldn’t explode because there’s a pressure relieve valve that open up when pressure is over 130PSI

[@pangalanglullaby467]

This is what I have been waiting for 🥰

[@Barbara-zw2lg]

Love your tutorial videos so much! Have you tried calamansi jelly for F2? I have and it comes out pretty tasty and carbonated.

[@maximilliansantiago5208]

with the Calamansi have you checked what the pH goes to after adding? it might through off the ferment if it drops too low, maybe as an idea?

[@AnxietyFreak]

I remember reading somewhere that fermentations can get stuck if the PH is too low. I want to say the fix was baking soda but this was for higher alcohol yield beverages. Might work for this. But it could also be the antimicrobial anti fungal properties. You may also need to get your scoby to build up a resistance like with the part green tea part black tea hack for a Jun Scoby.

i've heard of using nitro for kombucha, but not CO2. have you tried the fine bubble luxury of nitrogen on kombucha?

[@Multititlegirl]

😫 so nice!

[@potterma63]

I'll add my congrats, as well. I was suspicious... Anyway, we like variety too much to go the kegging route. I have an iSi Gourmet Whip for carbonating small amounts of stubborn 'buch. Works pretty good.

[@MyTube4Utoo]

Very cool! I may have to get that setup.

[@cdog26hh]

Just a quick question, after you strain the liquid for the batch of kombucha do you just wash the containers or do you need to sterilize the jar too?

[@dylanchumley9841]

Currently in the process of Acquiring a keg for this reason why do you have the best videos

[@JustMe-12345]

Omg....... i was watching the video without sound (...bc supposed to study) and thought like....is something different? 👀..... you look pregnant...... looked into comments => looked through video again => indeed Congratssss!!!! Best health to you and your child. 🤰

[@letslaugh4331]

Did the co2 make the kombucha taste different than natural process for yours? I used a tabletop/portable baby kegger version w a co2 cartridge a couple times and the taste wasn’t appetizing. I used immediately tho. Maybe that was the difference?

[@slimskitchen618]

Wow I never would've know Congrats 🤰🏾🥳

[@normalizedaudio2481]

We use a keg to make moonshine. SCOBY in the mash is a thing. Get you some paint buckets at the Home Depot.

[@dylanchumley9841]

I have a 5 gallon batch that’s only a day or two from being ready to be kegged beyond excited to give this a try

[@xXChaosChelleXx]

I'm Filipino too, and I also brew kombucha! : )

[@WeirdMedicine]

Check to see if your kalamansi juice has preservatives…may be inhibiting F2. If not, the citric acid may be acting as an inhibitor. Anyway, awesome solution!

[@Ftybr57]

Is there alcohol content ?

[@slimskitchen618]

Ur sooooo lucky tho you have Kombucha ON TAP You RICHIE RICH RICH

[@eskrest]

So I've bought a bottle of store kombucha. Put it in a small vessel with sweet tea and let it sit for about a month or so. Then I moved it to a much bigger vessel with sweet tea. So I've got my first kombucha batch made just recently. The fun part is - though the process worked, the mushroom never formed.

[@MarkGreen-rb1hf]

I feel like the kinda takes the magic out of home brewing a bit. And I suspect you feel the same due to your last comment which I have to admit I am relieved about.

[@ramzito2504]

KOMBUCHA ON TAP !? DONT PUSH IT X.
