Taking a Break from Brewing Kombucha

[@codygroce2091]

As a videographer, I would LOVE to see your lighting and gear setup. Your new videos look FANTASTIC.

It looks like she’s using a cucoloris in front of a BFL aimed at her cabinets. I saw the mini blinds shake a little in a different video (or she has huge windows, films at the same time, and there was wind lol)

Talent for choosing relatable topics. Thank you.

My aged Kombucha I ferment my 3/4 of Veggies to 1/4 Bucha. Delicious & has improved my “99” veggies Kimchi, I seldom add Pink Salt anymore. ♥️💗♥️ Katy

[@sematalay2551]

It is a very useful and important information. Thank you. I'm tired of brewing and renewing my Kombucha every two weeks but I was worried if they'd die or get moldy if I stop feeding them. What I heard from you today has relieved me a lot. Thanks again.

Hi, I make 3 types of komboocha along with other ferments to treat a autoimmune disease as well as the hypoglycemia it has caused. My white tea komboocha I make in a 3 Gal jar, and I can't seem to finish using it before it gets too acidic for me to drink. I did find a solution for that not listed. I make fruit infused water by dehydrating different fruits, add some cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and stevia along with some komboocha vinegar I put in a old stevia dropper bottle. I still get the komboocha benifits without the overly sour flavor. I tried turning the super vinegar komboocha into second ferment, but it was still too sour no matter how much stevia I added. So, into fruit infused water it goes!

so helpfull thanks to being my mentor and motivation to make my homemade kombucha... thanks you so much

[@HisVirusness]

Thanks. This actually solves a question I did have when I brewed a batch of kombucha, and didn't know if it was okay to just let the scoby... chill for a couple months.

[@BabyFlickBuster]

Thank you for all your tips !

[@justanotherbotanist]

oh man! thank you so much. i completely stopped caring for my scobys months ago (not feeding it) but it still seemed fine. good to know i was right. however, i eventually want to try brewing again but the first time i ever made my kombucha with my tea the brew was too strong. it was still drinkable but just strong, any advice or tips?

[@Ventus_the_Heathen]

Try brewing it for a shorter time or at a slightly lower temperature so it'll ferment slower (different part of your house, lower setting on a heat mat, etc.) Just don't put it in the fridge obviously.

[@icewebhomestead]

I wish I would of known this last year.

[@debbienossavage7419]

what do you use to cover your jars of kombucha/scoby hotel? any certain kind of material? thank you

[@ju7795-m2z]

Hi ! I have been brewing for about 2 months and I really like your YT videos! I have a question for you! If a F1 is completed but I don't have time to start my F2, can I put the kombucha in the fridge and bottle/flavour it in a few days and put it back at room temp to start F2 ? thank you very much and keep up your amazing work !

[@Jones92934734]

Yes this would work fine.

[@kimsmith6625-u2p]

do you need to clean out your scoby hotel? like remove everything and clean the vessel?

[@KangarooKiller-w3e]

Can I refrigerate my scoby

[@titanart6225]

What if room temperature is very warm, like boiler room where the temp can range from 80-90 degrees?

[@PhillGraaf]

Hey! I took a lot of knowledge from your videos already 😍 but I have a question… We received a scone that was raised on honey a few weeks ago and we live in the tropics. We started/continued making kombucha with honey and every single time it tastes SO much like beer… after a few days it gets to a point where we literally don’t want to drink it anymore. Which is why we are taking a break from brewing now. What can we do?

[@wisdomguy9837]

Can I use a plastic bottle for scoby hotel?

[@slr-streetlegalrevenue899]

Very helpful

[@kimsmith6625-u2p]

i made my own scoby. can i use that original fermentation as my scoby hotel?

[@truthjustice9803]

Is it ok to brew kombucha with yerba mati tea? Less flouride.

[@nathandingman6846]

Can u use brown sugar for different flavor? Will it ruin your scoby? Will the brown sugar kombucha be okay to use for starter tea for the next batch?

[@susanmccarthy1975]

No use organic sugar only

[@laurieshouse]

I've never used organic sugar, and my brew has been fine. I always use white sugar, though.

[@highwind1369]

Super late answer. I would only use it for a second fermentation

[@victorialim3109]

Can I used other herb or crisenttnun flow to brew kombucha?Reason my body cannot takes in black n greens teas too much it causes me back pain n shoulder too n can't sleep well .tq

[@entheltan5528]

Anyone has experience with using really old starter tea (6months or so) aka acidifier? When brewing a new batch of kombucha do you still brew 1F for the same amount of time, or do you find that the 1F is ready alot faster?

[@DanielDeRudder]

Hi, there seems to be a trend on KZbin for 'coffee' kombucha !? Do you have any experience with this? Thanks.

[@YouBrewKombucha]

Stay tuned 👀

[@Gitmo314]

So a scoby being a "symbiotic community of bacterial yeast" doesn't have ANY bacterial cultures that will die off at too low of a PH? Want to make sure i'm not accidentally sacrificing flavor or health benefits because i have let it get too acidic just once.

[@stephanesigouin2049]

Who dare taking a break from brewing kombucha and stop idolizing this being from another world?
