Can you repost this as it's own thread? Very helpful!

hahaha,, I was just scrolling through forums and was looking to see it there was a Kombucha thread--we have a sourdough one and kraut one

@baymule ... You won't miss the work but, you WILL miss the view -- when this is done maybe keep a ladder handy! I have upstairs windows

My grandmother always made her own vinegars with "mother". I'm not a kombucha fan but, for my milk products I get involved with some fermentation. It's interesting. Then, did some wine a couple times. Not elaborate like @CrealCritter -- just a jug and big balloon. Still decent result.

Creal: corn is 50 cents each here. Got some at Safeway and it was horrible so it went to the chickens. Got some a week later at Wally's and it was good!!

View attachment 23872 I use 14 to 18 Black tea and in bags, loose leaf makes the scoby funky, I put a cup & 1/2 of raw sugar in the pitcher,
View attachment 23873 While the water is heating to a boil, I add 2 tlb spoons of sugar to the scoby I had stored in the fridge--feed the scoby---Very NICE effervescent bubbles
View attachment 23874

View attachment 23875 pour the hot water over the sugar and tea bags and I am boiling another pot, I'll fill the pitcher and use some of the hot water to use up whats left in my honey jar,- I use the honey water to feed the kombucha jug we are currently drinking,
( I buy organic santa cruz apple juice just so I can have the gal. jug)

So, I let the scoby get to room temp and the tea soak until it is is cooled off.

Then I will put the room temp scoby and its liquid in the big glass brew jug,
will take more picks when I do this.​

Scoby in the jug

Tea in the jug and I add water to top off up to the level I want it



cover with cheese cloth AND loosely the green lid


block out light


put in corner for a week [ depending on how warm it is in the house ] and then taste it



When i like the taste I fill a gallon jug and cap it, put it in the fridge for a week, then after a week, I divide it into 2 jugs, add the flavoring you want,, like: I dissolve pumpkin spice and honey like I was making hot tea,,,,,, so a 1/2 gal of it, when the pumpkin spice is thoroughly dissolved I put a cheese cloth in the funnel and pour the honey spice water in the gallon jug cap it and leave it on the counter all day, if the house is cool then 2 days,,,, burp the cap often so it doesn't explode ,,,,,, then in the fridge it goes,,,, [[ I also make ginger honey ]]
