long term brewer here. your video is one of the best on YT!

@larsdepauw2484 5 лет назад

This is one of the best videos I've seen regarding how to make kombucha! You explain everything you need to know, every step from beginning to end. Entertaining and straight to the point. Great stuff, definitely learned from this!

@cannotbeshaken7889 Год назад

Did she say how many day's she personally does her first ferment for?

@tangogroupsaltspringisland4396 6 лет назад

I've just looked at several videos on making kombucha and yours is definitely the best, with so many tips. Thanks!

@wmluna381 Год назад

I drank a lot of kombucha last night and just realized why I couldn't get to sleep. Didn't make the caffeine connection until after the fact. I have *a lot* of trouble sleeping through the night as it is and noticed that I was actually getting 8-9 hours lately doing nothing different outside of taking magnesium 3x a day and my homemade yogurt. Definitely relegating the kombucha intake to before 2PM.

@lylymongeon 8 лет назад

Best in-depth home tutorial I've seen as of yet. Great info and clearly presented.

@KatieCooksandCrafts 8 лет назад

Great! Thanks!

@bellafriedman4183 4 года назад

I understand your tutorial so much better than other peoples. my scoby is getting shipped to me as I speak!

@maryannenglis9176 Год назад

This is such a great tutorial I've seen how to make kombucha very clear explain step by step. God bless

@Tennouseijin 4 года назад

I've watched dozens upon dozens of kombucha making videos and it's the first one that actually had a green tea kombucha AND side by side with a black tea kombucha... which gave me the idea that if I want to make fancy colored kombucha for cocktails, I might want to use green tea to make the fruits color more prominent. Like, if I want to make white or pink kombucha.

@KatieCooksandCrafts 4 года назад

You can also find white tea, it's even lighter, in color and flavor. The very best for letting fruit flavors and colors shine through.

@Tennouseijin 4 года назад

@@KatieCooksandCrafts Thanks, I'll look into it. For now, I'm just waiting for my first ever batch, so I went with the safest black tea + refined sugar recipe, so it'll be some time before I start experimenting... but at least I have something to look towards ;)

@Tennouseijin 4 года назад

Also, another thing I could try is cold brew (I drink cold brewed teas a lot). I'm just worried if I go too light on the brew, the SCOBY might not get enough coffeine and other nutrients it needs.

@barbs981 6 лет назад

Thank you! One of the best videos I've seen so far.

@anonymiss86 4 года назад

This is such a great tutorial...very informative! Hope all is well! I have my first batch on 1F now and am so excited to start making juices for flavoring! I can see bubbles in one of my vessels so I’m going to try it tonight!

Your hot tap water can contain metallic compounds from the pipes transporting it, it's a good idea to not cook with it but actually use the cold water instead.

@WholeBibleBelieverWoman 4 года назад

Someone else on RU-vid said to burp the kombucha, but I think she was wrong! I lost nearly half my kombucha to explosive openings one day doing that, only to find out that once they are in the fridge for a day or so it settles the fizz down. So now I don't burp them anymore and save my burping for things like fermented vegetables! Also, for me I find that if the internal temperature in my home is over 77 degrees it is best to set them aside for a second ferment no more than 18 hours or so, or they get too explosive!

@KatieCooksandCrafts 4 года назад

Burping can give you a peek into what's going on during the second ferment but it's not essential by any means. There are plenty of clues to let you know when your kombucha is ready. I think there is a fear of bottle bombs, luckily I've never experienced that, despite having VERY fizzy booch.

@achyutakrishna 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing the instructions. Instead of white sugar, can i use jaggery? Pl advice.

@CarolinaZaya. 4 года назад

Wow...best video explaining kombucha that, simply put, I have ever watched!! Thank you...very smart, articulate, and enjoyable to listen to! One friendly suggestion, I would consider using filtered water and then boiling it or filtered water and an electric water kettle. Also, do you make fermented veggies, sauerkraut? Please consider making a video on fermenting veggies. Thanks for the great video, keep up the great work!

@havanabanana5079 4 года назад

Why do people watch how to videos to learn how to do new things and expand their knowledge and then question and practically harass the person making the video?

@dmwilson5285 7 лет назад

Amazing video! Thank you so much. I am making my very first batch. Where do you put your jars for the first brew? I'm seeing so much conflicting info. What I learned not to do was to not put it in a cabinet. The lack of proper air flow was really slowing things down

@KatieCooksandCrafts 7 лет назад

mine are on the counter. I am surprised a cabinet affected anything. Every little place has its own microclimate so maybe it was just a little cooler

My chickens and dog all love the Scooby pellicles when I have extras that don't sell. I swear kombucha makes me feel so much better in general, and am addicted to the taste 😂. Thank you for such an in depth video!

@akkasali5240 3 года назад

Would you please tell me how the first kombucha was made? I mean i have no starter tea or scooby then how kombucha can be made? Fermented tea can be used as a starter and scooby /mother of vinegar can be for kombucha tea.

@danielbrady3684 5 лет назад

Do you have to strerelize your bottles and jars berfore using them at the beginning of every batch you make ? Exellent video i just suscribed to your channel.

@KatieCooksandCrafts 5 лет назад

This is one of those things that you just have to do what makes your comfortable. Some people want to sterilize with boiling water, or diluted bleach solution, or something like star-san every batch. I don't. The bottles are clean (washed with warm soapy water) but not sterilized. If I had a continuing problem with mold or off flavors, I might consider sterilizing by routine.

@ajdann02 4 года назад

Your making me extremely thirsty...lol I am new to kombucha and just tried it the other day for the 1st time! I cannot believe I have never heard of it and how absolutely delicious & beneficial it is...🤗🤗🤗

@paulc.1018 4 года назад

Great video, thanks for all the tips! I'm trying to make kombucha myself, I grew the Scoby using GT's original, but when I put it in the new jar it doesn't float, it went down like 1 inch from the bottom. Now after 6 days it looks like a new Scoby is growing on the top. Is that ok?

@KatieCooksandCrafts 4 года назад

That is perfectly fine. If they are thin you can use both in your next batch.

@christinecolton2596 5 лет назад

@brendamacpherson9175 5 лет назад

@TressasSouthernHomeCooking 7 лет назад

Katie, I am so happy I found your video. I have been researching all these other videos and they do not give all the tips and tricks you do. I bought my kit from Amazon a month ago and been to scared to make my own. I guess I am scared it will not turn out well. I am so glad you explained first and second fermentation. I will be trying it now that I have your video to look back on. Thank you for the great video you made. Hope you are doing well. Are you still making your own? Hope to hear from you. Take care!!-----Tressa Daigle

@KatieCooksandCrafts 7 лет назад

I make less in the summer because it ferments so fast I would end up with too many bottles at once. Let if know if you have any questions once you get yours up and running

@liliankimani9524 3 года назад

I love your explanation. Will do the flavouring your style. What is the capacity of your original brewing glass jars and exactly how much sugar do you add? Say in teaspoonfuls

@EmmanuelBako-xy6gi Год назад

Are some scobys better than others? I used to make kefir and bought from a guy online and that one became massive.

@ale347baker 4 года назад

Can you cut a pellicle to fit a smaller jar? How long does it take for your 1st fermentation with that size jar? And is that a quart sized jar? Thank you.

@KatieCooksandCrafts 4 года назад

Yes you can cut it or tear it. My first ferment take about 6 days which is shorter than most tutorials I've seen but it's more important to look and taste your brew and less important to count days. I brew in half gallon and quart jars. Larger jars also work but can be unwieldy to pour, so keep that in mind.

@4vrceltic 5 лет назад

What's the longest you've left, or can leave the bottled Kombucha in the fridge for? Thank you.

@jamescarneal7818 2 года назад

When refrigerated kombucha still ferments just more slowly. Keep this in mind when storing for longer periods as it will still build carbonation and will need burped occasionally, also it is still eating the sugars in the brew so the longer it sits the dryer flavor it will have, keep this in mind as you don't want to drink vinegar unless you like that sort of thing. You can also brew bucha to have a higher alchohol content through proper fermentation but I don't suggest this as it kills the flavors and most of the probiotics which is the main reason for drinking kombucha in the first place. Happy brewing!

@JamesBrown-gq8rv 4 года назад

Thank you what if you put fruit in the first fermentation what's the scoby?

@KatieCooksandCrafts 4 года назад

You risk contaminating the scoby, over feeding the yeast leading to an unbalanced fermentation or something else unexpected.

@pattykochenower4222 4 года назад

After the second fermentation, do you have to “ pop” the lids open or can you just put them in the fridge after 3-4 days? ( to not have an explosion)?

@KatieCooksandCrafts 4 года назад

I have never had a bottle explode. It can happen but as long as you are using quality bottles I would say exploding bottles is rare. I burp the bottles to see how fizzy the kombucha is getting. Usually only burp one, extrapolate that to the other bottles and determine if they are ready to put in the fridge. The burped bottle might get another 12 to 24 hours on the counter to rebuild the fizz lost during the fizz check. If I'm satisfied with the fizz check I will put the unburped bottles into the fridge having never been burped. So, no, you don't have to burp. But it can give you helpful info. Does that answer your question?
