I am so excited that I came across your channel and cannot wait to get started on my scoby. I have a few questions for you. How many times can you use the same scoby and I saw the jar that you stored them in. Do you store it at room temperature or in a frig??

What condition do you ferment the scoby? Cool dark, warm, etc. I started a batch 6 days ago and I don't see anything forming except particles around the top. Do I need to start over?

Am I missing something...? Isn't Borax banned in Canada & Europe because of it's toxicity? We all know the US is behind on catching these things... however, in the article below the US EPA states, .... ["classifies it as a "moderate" accute toxicity substance. ] Wouldn't using it weekly on your laundry, be considered...['prolonged exposure'}? Borax was meant to be used as a stain remover, infrequently, as needed...not for daily regular use as laundry detergent. (see below) * One of many articles online...(cut & pasted) __________________ *Why is borax banned? Borax is not banned in the US. However, the EPA classifies it as a “moderate” acute toxicity substance, meaning it can cause harm in higher doses or prolonged exposure, especially if it is ingested or comes into contact with eyes. In the European Union, borax has a more severe classification. Borates, Borax, and Boric Acid: Are They Safe? - Poison Control poison.org www.poison.org › articles › borates __________________________ ** My comment: If our skin, is our largest organ...and absorbs what it comes in contact with...why???? Why would we use Borax on our clothes regularly? Rinse or no rinse....it isn't all gone. Every detergent we use...leaves a lingering smell which means the products we put into our washing machine, has absorbed into the fabric of our clothes...towels, etc. It's still present on the fabric. Wouldn't that then be exposing our skin to it? Please, I request that someone offer some helpful feedback....backed by facts....so that we're not all endangering our families, especially those with small children, or members with sensitive immune systems. This is another article...that was quite an eye opener. You all can decide for yourself... Be sure to read article to the end...the introduction talks about digestion of borax, but it goes on to further discuss the dangers of exposure in many forms including cleaning agents. www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/324167#takeaway

How many days can they last in the fridge once made?

So what temperature do I keep my jar at to create scoby?

I tried a magnetic guide on my old Elna computerized machine, and it really messed with the feed of my thread. As soon as I took it off, it returned to normal.

Is it hard to get all the leftover fruit out of the small opening after it’s adsorbed the liquid ?

Question please, i looked up the temp for adding the scoby and starter it mentioned 65 to 85 Fahrenheit, when i feel it(which was 64)it hot to the touch so should it be room temp or follow the 65 to 85 range?

im kinda suprised that some other channels suggest to just buy the scoby when this seems so simple to make, awesome will definitely be trying this one!

Will start soon thanks

great tutorials!!!!

I may be dense but I don't get it. I can't figure out what kombucha even is! I Googled what is kombucha and still don't understand what it is! If kombucha is fermented tea why do you need to purchase kombucha? I was hoping to make kombvucha from scratch but it sounds like you absolutely can't do it that way. No matter what you do you have to buy the kombucha. I'm sorry I'm just really confused. It doesn't seem easy to me. Can you ferment wine and use the scoby from that instead of Kombucha or is kombucha something totally separate? After all this if it turns to kombucha vinegar you have to start all over again! Does it have to be black or green tea can it be a flavored tea like peppermint or chamomile? I appreciate the step-by-step directions I guess I'll keep trying to figure it out LOL

Thank you for being short and sweet. I can’t stand hearing things repeated and talk just to talk. I liked subscribed and shared.

Why can’t I use fruit that I froze from fresh?

how often do you clean them and hos

does it require constant feeding of sugar to keep it alive?

awesome you are a gem...

Thank you for this! Super helpful 🙏🏽 i have a couple of questions please: How do we keep the scobys? Can we brew herbal tea instead of black tea? How long does the fermented tea lasts in the fridge?

SO informative. Thank you!!

Absolutely everything I wanted to know and then some. Great video!

Put your bottle in a bowl or plate to catch what comes out of you bottle when opening 😊

Hi and thank you. Why can you not use frozen fruit ? What difference does it make ?

Thank you, i always wanted to know how to start making a thimble

I see... It's not difficult to prepare it, but it needs a place to let it sit for the fermentation time period. For unexperienced people like us get freaked out for seeing the Kombucha scoby, like a membrane. 🤓

Why does my kumbucha does not have gas in

No free pattern

Nice video but doesnt she need yeast also? the y in scoby stands for yeast right?

What liquid do you keep in the hotel?

Can i add flavored store bought kombucha or does it have to be original?

Thanks for your video. For method 1, how do I know when the new white scoby is ready for me to transfer to a new batch of tea? When it is ready, do I just take the white scoby film off the top and put that into my new batch of tea? Or do I need to transfer some of the liquid as well, or anything else?

Hola muy bello bolso por favor como puedo tener el pattrot

Does it matter if the store bought kombucha is flavored, or does it have to be original plain flavored? I’m not fond of black tea, and would rather only use a green tea kombucha, like the ones made by Brew Dr.

Wondering if you came across alternatives to wax and also specifically $20 per yard wax.

WHAT? You aren't making it from scratch if you're buying the kombucha from the store and adding that?????? "I'm going to make my sandwiches from scratch, so I buy some slicked bread, some butter, some sandwich spread, and put it all together". WHAT A CROCK!

Cay you use honey instead of sugar?

Hello! I bought a champagne without alcohol that has a label ‘Spring in a bottle’ (Wolffer Estate) is it possible to make something like that?

Let the tea steep a bit first, remove the bags, then add the sugar while the tea is still warm. That way the bags are soaking up some of the sugar.

The bottled kombucha is a scoby, this isn't making one from scratch as much as starting a kombucha batch. Besides the rhymes, it's possible to make one from scratch by letting the sweet tea ferment for longer maybe 2 or 3 weeks, just like sour dough starter

then there is no way to make the scoby from scratch without buying Kombucha tea from the store. I was thinking I can learn how to make also the starter.

I read a few years ago the FDA cracked down on store bought kombucha brands because of alcohol content. And made them change the formula, so it's no longer possible to grow a scoby from any of those products anymore Is this true?

Can we just use tea itself? Not a huge fan of teabags!😢

The edge seam fabric will lay more flat once turned right side out if you clip from edge to within 1/8” of the seam about every 1”. You will still be able to easily feed the elastic through the channel. I learned that in home ec in junior high almost 60 years ago. 😉 👍

The recipe for amounts on website is different than this video?? For example gallon of water versus 4 cups to brew tea.

Thank you so much!! After 3 videos and an article on making a scoby your video was the easy and simple to tell and show!! You're awesome

Bellissimo!!!

So the mixture I use to make a scoby- that is not drinkable kombucha?

So in summary, we can't make kombucha from scratch? I mean you need kombucha to make kombucha. How was the first kombucha made?

Can’t get pattern

Awesome! Thanks
