How to Make Homemade Jun Kombucha 

Wow, high grade Long Jing for brewing Jun!! Very very good tea. A good tip to extract green tea: bring water to a boil, then cool down the water by adding room temperature water: this gives more oxygene to tea and extracts green tea the best way. Thank you for this video: I love Jun and this channel.

This girl is awesome, I'd love to be friends with someone who has all this knowledge and have hobbies like making Kombucha haha.

Thank you for sharing you expertise! I learned so much and feel so much more confident!

Such great helpful information. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you, this video is very helpful on my Jun journey lol! You are very knowledgeable and helpful. Love the video style and way you explain everything. I’ll be watching more of you videos! Take care😊

YouBrewKombucha always comes up with such beautiful looking drinks! I love the passionfruit idea with the seeds, looks amazing and if it adds texture then that's a win-win.

Soo informative! (as always) Thank you! I've been brewing Jun for a little while now but have hit and miss batches which I'm still trying to figure out 🤔. Thanks to you I think I've twigged where I'm potentially going wrong 🙈. Love your vids!

Very informative. Thank you!

Great videos. You have a professional commentator delivery.

I really enjoy watching and learning for your videos. you are getting close to your silver play button 😃

@You Brew Kombuchas, Could you PLEASE link that giant measuring cup or advise where I can grab one?! I’m obsessed! 🤩😍

nice and informative video, thanks!!

Hi. Thanks for your videos. You do a very good job! I like your pitcher. I didn’t find it on your list of recommended equipment. Do you remember where you got it?

What an excellent, rigorous choice of curation here - the comparing of the two behaviors is such a great idea. Can we use bottled jun as starter like we can do with kombucha from store for kombucha growing? Also, you mentioned tea quality - what brand is working well for you? Thanks!

You can convert a black tea scoby to a Jun scoby by using a little bit of black tea and sugar in your freshly brewed green tea and honey, I used about 20% sugar and black tea and mostly green tea and it worked out fine.

Cool & super thanks !

I make Cold Brew, soaking 3 tbsps bulk tea in 2 quarts for 3 days. The honey I put in 1 cup hot water. After the 3 days I combine. Then add SCOBY to sweet tea. ♥️💗♥️ Katy

Excellent video! New subscriber here!Thank you for making this thorough video. I will check on your channel but I am so curious on your thought or experience using Matcha Green Tea for brewing Jun.

I've used my scoby interchangeably for black and green tea and about two weeks ago I substituted the sugar for raw honey in black tea and it was AMAZING. So I kinda wonder if you REALLY need a scoby specific to honey... My black tea jun (which sounds like it's actually not a thing, my research results have been that jun is strictly green tea and honey, but anyways...) was so delicious, still sweeter than normal kombucha and so bubbly, I love it.

Making me thirsty! Nicely done! Thank you!

Thanks!

I started fermenting jun 5-6 years ago. It processes very quickly. One time I added elderberries for the second ferment. Powerful delicioso!!! I still have 2 elder berries on my 14' ceiling! Lol!!!

I just ordered my Jun starter pack! Your videos were the most helpful in starting my kombucha so I'm hoping this one will be a hit with me too. Not a lot of info out there for jun.

Do you ever make Cold Brew ? Which has less tannin bitters. ♥️💗♥️ Katy

Can you use a Kamboucha starter with honey and green tea to make Jun? I have difficulty finding a Jun starter in my country

Could you throttle the starter’s acidity by placing it in the fridge for a while and then bringing it back to room temperature a few days before using some of that starter to brew a new batch?

hello! i like the work you are doing, i am in togo i am a student. I have a kombucha production project. please i need your help with some concerns

If I use honey that has crystalized and liquify if again in a pot on the stove - will that work for jun? Or does that kill enzymes or something and would mess up the fermentation process?

I would love to know your thoughts on kombucha vs jun vs water kefir. Are they basically all the same thing? Or do they do different things.

If you're gonna be picky about the quality of your green tea, you should also be picky about the quality of your honey. Just because it's organic doesn't make it good. Store bought honey is almost always pasteurized and will have lost it's nutrients by the time it's bottled. Get local raw honey from your farmer's market.

Can I ask you a question, after you make your first batch and you're the only one drinking it, can you just stor the scobe with it 2 cups of liquid until you make a new batch? I don't want my scobe to mold and I know I'm not going to be able to drink enough of my kombucha before I am able to make another batch. So basically what I'm asking is how long can you store your scobe before making another batch, also where's the best place to store it?? Thanks for your channel, love it.

Wish you’d talk about kahm yeast

Is green tea essential for jun? I'm wanting to try white or oolong possibly.

Did you sanitize all your equipment with some thing like Star San or One Step?

I’d recommend using a stainless steel spoon or spatula to mix my liquid…. The wooden handle on the spatula could introduce unwanted bacteria

Can you use unrefined brown cane sugar for kombucha?

is passion fruit bottled or canned or is it fresh fruit?

❤

I made my first batch of Jun, 2nd Ferm over 4 days and I did not get any carbonation. Used 3 different "flavors" and had the same results. Any suggestions?

How much alcohol is produced by fermentation of the sugars?

A good reason to start raising honeybees...luckily i raise them, so i have a stockpile of different honeys

❤❤❤❤

Did you add honey to the unflavored 2nd ferment, why\why not?

Where's the link for supplies?

can you use macha ?

link to those juice bottles?

Do you sanitize everything before?

Can you make Jin from scratch ?

How many teabags for 1 gallon of Jun Kombucha?

I've heard JUN pronounced a couple different ways, one that rhymes with JUNE, like in this video, and one that rhymes with FUN. Anybody know which is correct?

Do I need to add sugar or honey to my flavoring??

Hi. My jun first fermentation DOESN'T CREATE any CARBONATION 😢 But it creates new scobies 🤔 . What can i do for that. Im from Greece 🇬🇷☀️

I saw where you made your own Kombucha scoby. Can you make your own Jun scoby as well?

I've been brewing kombucha for 2 yrs & to speed up 2nd fermentation flavoring I experiment with qt size mason jars with plastic lids instead of the flip top bottles. After 3-4 days definitely doesn't have the carbonation of the smaller flip top bottles. Any suggestions?

It didn’t make a new pellicle?? It’s stayed at the bottom of jar??

I can't believe you didn't use raw organic honey from the Farmer's Market with the high quality Jun scoby? that store honey looks like pasteurized high fructose corn syrup.

Do you have to use cloth or can you use an air lock?

Disagree!! I love watching your very detailed videos. You helped me get started!!!

Can you use the same scobie for jun and kombucha?

Does one start a scoby hotel for Jun?

Can you convert a regular kombucha culture to a Jun culture by gradually replacing the tea and sugar from the regular kombucha with green tea and honey?

Could you replace the honey with maple or agave syrup and make it vegan?

What brand of tea are you using?

What are the benefits in Jun kombucha?

You say you trust Fermentaholics but in another video you berate companies that say to use vinegar.... read a Fermentaholics Kombucha starter bag. Love all your videos though and an avid follower

Am I the only one who can't see the video footage? It appears corrupt. I hear audio, but not video.

He-brews

Squeezing your tea in a french press is just as bad as brewing it too hot so you might want to stop doing that if youre trying to avoid bitter flavor from your tea

I feed a big SCOBY to the wild deer and they like it very much.

My god so many videos about kombucha & jun & you can tell the maker just learned about buch rescently. Learning not long ago just to make a RU-vid video (got to get them veiws lol). Maybe I should make a video on this. Because when I want to learn about something. I want to learn from someone that know there stuff & has been doing it a while. My pops alway told me as a kid learn from the best. I've been making buch for years. And stuff like what happened to her with the bottle exploding lol. This happens to all of us, when we are newbs. Cause there inexperienced & don't know about burping bottles & how often to do it. I do appreciate try to help people. I don't mean to be salty but this is the 3rd video I watched, where I can tell that this person making the video doesn't know a fraction of what I know. And that's not saying much. Because I consider myself stupid with this stuff. Just wanted to get some idea's for flavors that pair good with jun. With regular buch I used ginger & blue berries, strawberries, apple & basil, cucumber & melon all the basic flavors. But I never brewed Jun & don't know what will pairs good with this new ki nd of (jun) flavor. Well it looks like no one on RU-vid really knows either. I wasn't really feeling the crushed passion fruit withn seeds everywhere. That's the problem these day it's always quantity over quality.

Your videos are great, but fairly long winded in todays day and age. If you could get these down to under 8 minutes I think you'd have a lot more success.

Do you burp before refrigerating?
