Fantastic demonstration. I have my first batch at day 9, so I am ready to bottle. I found this so helpful. Thank you and kindest wishes from Stephanie in the UK 🌹

Excellent job! You have answered a lot of questions.
-
Quite a lovely guide. The kombucha possibilities are almost endless. The steps for making kombucha reminds me of the rye bread starter fermentation process (which I began but failed 😅) but easier. That fuzzy and fruit flavor add-on is pretty amazing. Much like a really old bottle of wine that turns into vinegar as it ages. Don't get me started on gut health too, it really puts a wall of protection as it improves your immune system, a shield for many diseases along with good nutrition, of course, that goes hand in hand. ❤👏

Very informative and helpful presentation. My first batch should be ready in around 2 weeks
-
What do you do with the scoby after you've made the kombucha? does it go in the scoby Hotel? I really enjoy your videos. You make it sound very straightforward. There's so much information out there it's nice to find something simple.
-
Do you have to add the store bought Kambuchq? How can you make it without a store bought?
-
I poured two whole bottles of unflavored unpasteurized kombucha (Gutsy) with organic sugar. A scoby formed in a week, but one additional week later it turned from smelling vinegary to good smelling strong cheese. I have to toss it right?
-
Hello! Love your videos! Is that an old bottle of Flensburger?
-
Good recipe.
-
Just found your channel. Looking forward to the sourdough bread recipe. I am Vegan though, so hopes it is suitable for me.
-
How are you getting the fruit back out of the bottle? Does it just slide out?
-
Can i use honey or brown sugar, or coconut sugar instead of white sugar?
-
Haha nice thematic recipes.
-
How long can i store in the refrigerator? Does it expire?
-
I eat the second ferment fruit . I don’t strain.
-
I'm surprised you don't make water kefir
