@nsuchi 5 лет назад

To make scoby from scratch - takes 2 to 6 or 8 months depending on the surrounding Use sour fruits - I use pineapple and lime In a glass jar add ratio (roughly) 1 part sugar ( white or cane) 3 part sour fruits 10 part mineral water Mix in and leave in sit tight jar about 2 months After 2/3 months separate the fruit and juice Put juice in a clean jar don’t seal completely- use thick tea towel to cover up and seal with ribbon or rubber band and leave again for another 2-4 months depending how thick you want the scoby. Sometimes many layers of scoby are formed and the top most would be the strongest.

@@LT72884 wait, kombucha is the already fermented tea, to which you initially added sugar to create that fermentation. But you started with fresh tea + sugar and let it sit there for weeks, after which, a SCOBY formed. So it’s not a concentrated solution you started with, right? You prepared a normal tea, added sugar and let it ferment for weeks, and the SCOBY formed at the 3-4week mark. Am I understanding you correctly? If yes, once you remove that SCOBY from whatever liquid is leftover, can this concentrated fermented tea be used as a starter for a new batch, as YBK does in her process? Thanks.

4 May 20, absolutely could not find a bottle of unflavored kombucha, so I picked a brand that at least had a good bit of sediment at the bottom. I poured it into a wide mouth quart Mason jar, put a paper towel over it and used a ring to secure it. It is now sitting in a corner of my pantry with a dish towel wrapped around it. I guess I’ll take a peek at it in about four weeks unless you or someone else advises me differently. I’ll let you know how it goes.

At the organic shop in France the kombucha is stored in the fridge and it truly is raw and it was very well fermented and I directly made a batch and had a nice scoby form. Actually two because I also checked and the first sank down. I used one batch with medicinal mushroom decoction and liver herbs and 1/5 of green tea and the otherone with green tea only. The green tea was probably too weak and I didn't get a scoby from that batch so I simply mixed the two liquids and it worked. Happy brewing and healing to everyone!

@Larissa20051 5 лет назад

@prah89 5 лет назад

You aren't doing anything wrong. The scoby grown in this video was left alone extra long; and was formed in straight kombucha, rather than in sweet tea. That's probably why it's so thick and uniform in color

@VianneyCreates 5 лет назад

I have thinner SCOBY growth bc in my area the kombucha ferments pretty quickly. If you have to leave it longer, the pellicle will thicken. As long as you have good kombucha, I wouldn't worry about it. My jun pellicle gets thick within about 24 hours! It's crazy. My kombucha one always takes about 3-4 days to really see the pellicle forming. Both make great drinks.

@Bear-cm1vl 5 лет назад

I wanted a thicker SCOBY than I had in the first two weeks from a full bottle of unpasteurized and unflavored Health Aid 'bucha (16 oz, I think), 3/4 gal of tea and 3/4 cup of white sugar. I left this for about four weeks and ended up with a 3/8 inch thick SCOBY that was more than tough enough to be handled and a very strong, but very well flavored 'bucha. Round two fermented in just over a week and was much more drinkable, where round three is in the jar now. From what I have learned from my experience, leaving it alone and giving it time seems to be the trick to a thick, healthy SCOBY.

Eric Carve yeah i kinda realized after making a few batches lol. My first batch was too acidic everyone called it vinegar!

@ericcarve4476 4 года назад

pinkblo ha! Yeah, I think we all do that. Keep at it, you’ll be making artisan kombucha in no time.

Hi. I'm from UK.. I have never done kombucha but have the desire to get in to it. The plain kombucha.. Is it the same as when it says original (no flavor)? Tia for your patience 😊

@YouBrewKombucha 4 года назад

Yes, it is! :)

Not a question per say, but I stay in India where weather temperature is quite warm on general. My kombucha brews up in 2-4 days. If i leave it for 7 days it turns super acidic. Just wanted to know if others face this too and if this is ok.

@YouBrewKombucha 5 лет назад

Yes! That's OK as long as you're OK with how it tastes. :) You'll just need to bottle/flavor it and refrigerate it sooner.

I started my own original with that same bottle but with a full gallon of bucha tea... It took 6 weeks and I had a large@1" scoby and @2 1/2 cups starter tea, added another gallon of tea to it and that was over a year ago now... Thanks to you and questions you answered super fast I've got 5- 3 gallon jars and my gardens get Scobies, I make fruit leather with them which is fantastic, and have given babies to so many people... Made a dozen second ferments a week for a gal I worked with for a while too lol

Hi! How do I know if a Scoby is ready? What the healthy ratio of 'starter tea (the liquid left after scoby is form?)' & sweetened tea should I use to make the first batch of kombucha? I'm a total newbie, thank you!
