Yay I was hoping we would see the massive kombucha and or Jun process!

@FermentedHomestead 5 месяцев назад

It’s a process for sure!

@debraczahor6279 5 месяцев назад

Watching this has made me happy! I offered to make kombucha for my daughter. She said she will just buy it from the farmer's market! I'm over 70 years young, just saying!🤣

@applegal3058 Месяц назад

I'm super surprised she turned down your offer to make it for her. Perhaps she figured it would be too much of a hassle for you. My dad loves my homemade kombucha. I'm thinking if he lived closer, I'd have to make 2 gallons instead of 1, just to keep up lol Take care ❤

@AprilSeamand-xe8ug 5 месяцев назад

I don't know if you're interested. But I bought my stainless stock pot from Costco for around $35 on sale. It has a really nice heavy bottom. It's about the same size as my canner. I use it all the time! I just stumbled upon your channel. I enjoy your personality. You seem extremely knowledgeable. Many seem to stumble around, to me it seems they're experimenting. Just wanting to make a video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏

I just LOVE my large halogen hotplate! I seriously recommend looking into them! Also, I put a trivet in my All American and autoclave bottles up side down. Shorter heating up time (only 3 quarts) and no sloshing about with water. Just do a quick release when done, and you're ready for the next batch of bottles. 👍🏻

@staceywishart9971 5 месяцев назад

@daynagraves7533 4 месяца назад

I just finished watching 4 of your videos today, including you and your son turning over your garden. I've been watching/subscribed since I started fermenting with fruit kvas last summer and I just want to give you a tip for making perfect green tea. I recommend loose leaf tea 🍃 to save you the headache of opening bags and to only steep for no more than 4 minutes. It's easy to ruin green tea because it is so delicate. A huge study in China says that after 3-4 minutes, higher levels of toxic substances are released, also making it bitter. It should be light green in color, never dark. I get my loose leaf green tea from the Asian market here in Pedasí, Panamá. Good luck❣️

@BethFerrier 5 месяцев назад

I've been brewing kombucha for about six months. I only have four gallons going, the two of us consume about two gallons a week. It's all going well, but I'm looking forward to more direction on ratios for the F2. Always love your videos, and hugs for the piglet. Most of us are so disconnected from our food that we have no idea of the true cost.

@FermentedHomestead 5 месяцев назад

That’s awesome! Home brewed kombucha is the best. I agree but it’s hard for folks in the city to realize the cost.

@laurieshatney9279 5 месяцев назад

@heathernotzdaniels6350 5 месяцев назад

Hubs is a beer and wine maker, and he has carboys with spouts/spigots/valves (whatever you wanna call them) on them. I was thinking that one carboy would be great for what you are doing, as a way to help you fill your bottles. He puts his full carboy in the middle of one side of the table, grabs a crate and sits in front it, with the empty bottles on one side and the full ones put to the other side. It has an on/off valve, and the opening fits perfectly into a beer bottle. I'm thinking he paid somewhere between $30-50 for them, I don't think they were that expensive. Even with the brownness of the bottle, he can still see his fill line, so he doesn't overfill unless he has had too many sips of beer...lol. Then he is just silly. But anyway, something to think about. I loved watching your process with such a large batch. That was pretty amazing!

@maryderleth7860 5 месяцев назад

I'm just starting my kombucha journey. I started by growing my own scoby and I'm on day three of the first ferment. Waiting on milk and water kefir grains to get here so I can start that journey too. Your videos are a huge help to me! Thank you.

I am certain there are some good events here I just can't think of any at the moment. We do have a pretty big farmer's market downtown pretty much all summer long on Saturdays. Anywho, one thing I'm taking away from this video is that kombucha will still be okay if you get back to it right away 😊 I really need to try making some at home. There are some store bought ones that I really like and I'm worried that I won't be able to match them.

Hi, Anna! Thanks for inspiration❣️. Just made 2 gallons bucha after watching this. Would you mind sharing what 3 gallon tap you use & a link for purchase? Also, my water keifer grains grew a scoby. Would you happen to know what I should do next? Thanks for all you do!

@FermentedHomestead 5 месяцев назад

I’m just using a large glass dispenser I got from Ross or somewhere like that. If your water kefir grew a scoby you’re keeping it too close to kombucha. I’m not sure if it can be “saved” without getting new grains but it might be a tasty new treat

@Retired_n_Luvin_It 5 месяцев назад

Thanks, it did have a lid on it but was about 2 ft away from a jar. I may try to revive grains in a different jar with some molasses & add the scoby to some water just to see what happens. Could be interesting.

@rikwen96 5 месяцев назад

Really a great video on your process. I am looking forward to your tutorial on making kombucha. I do have a question. Does the digital acidic reader work better than the dip sticks? I started my own scoby as I was drinking so much kombucha it was getting expensive. I love what I am getting out of my scoby, but when I check the acidity with the little blotter sticks, it never seems to go below 4.0 or 3.9. It can get rather tangy, so I am thinking the blotter sticks may not be as accurate. I also do water kefir and milk kefir, so I am always drinking some sort of fermented drink.

@FermentedHomestead 5 месяцев назад

The meter is more accurate. If it’s pretty ripe and only reading those numbers your strips are likely inaccurate

It's really got a funky smell and it really just taste like carbonated vinegar and not a good vinegar at that. Is there one recommend that would be better for a first timer to try to see if this is something I would want to invest in making?
