KOMBUCHA FLAVOR Time! | 2nd Fermentation

ive been buying kombucha for years, I finally grew our own scoby & doing the 2nd ferment with blueberries & fresh ginger. I'm so excited. Thanks for sharing :)

We love blueberry and basil. Also a good grape plain, and lime and ginger. I bought a half gallon jug from a brewery that works great too!!

Thank for ideas on flavoring . Also thank you and your family for serving our country. I noticed the two blue stars !

I remember my mother having this and growing it. When I was younger I thought it was a pet😂 my mother is really handling it delicately and said the scoby needs to be stress free...Gosh I think we even have a name for it....

Just started making my own kombucha. I love ginger with mine, but I also make a tea during cold/flu season (honey, cloves, lemon, ginger), so I tried it in my kombucha & it might be my favorite.

I absolutely love making my kombucha with elderberry syrup. It doesn’t take much, but it’s one of my favorites!

I flavor mine too. I love cherry and pomegranate. I have never thought about putting fresh herbs but that’s a great idea! Thanks for sharing! ❤️

Pretty scobe. Great job. I love GT ginger berry too.

I just recently got on the Kombucha bandwagon. I much prefer my homemade to any of the store bought. My favorites are mango, mango/pineapple, black cherry and strawberry.

Oh, you really give them a good dose of juice. I make water kefir and do my second ferment with just a hand full of blueberries and the yellow part of half a lemon rind to almost half gallon. I might like a stronger flavor. I’ll check it out. And careful of the quality of flip top bottle, the thin ones blow up. 🤯. Love your content

So if you just drain off 1/3 rd of your brew every three days and add more tea to it you will have a continuous brew. No need to remove the scoby or chance contamination of the tea. It will stay in a great slightly vinegar sweet state and brew on and on.

Great video. My girlfriend got me a Kombucha kit for Christmas this year ( I asked for one as a joke) I loved ot so much I replaced the one gallon jug she got me with three gallon one that has a spigot. Brewing bottles are a bit much, so I kept buying a GTS 1.4L ever time we hit Walmart. I have managed to use the same eight or so bottles for the last six month or so. There is something awesom about being able to drink kombucha with dinner every night for pennies on the dollar when the GTS ones can be upwards of four bucks for a small one, plus i found i like mine a bit more sour.

Beautiful! I was just as excited with you 😊 someday I’m going to try this. Love your T-shirt, where did you get it?

Can I ask where you got your bottle? I love it!

Excellent!!

I made elderberry syrup this year so used some to flavour my kombucha. Oh my it was good.

Yummy!! I want to make some!!

Your homemade juice sounds like it would made delicious Kombucha. Good luck with it

Recently tried hibiscus. Beautiful color & DELICOUS! Hibiscus also has tons of health benefits.

After many failures and successes, I have it down to a fairly easy 2nd fermentation process. I too do 2 gallons (16 pints) at a time. I boil & steep a few tablespoons of fresh grated ginger in a pint of water, then dissolve a half cup of honey in that water. After straining, I add a cup of fresh lemon juice. I mix that with my finished kombucha in two 1 gallon jugs, bottle it, and wait 4 to 5 days. Lots of carbonation, and not too tart. My first fermentation goes for 7-8 days at room temp. That makes my turn around time almost 2 weeks. Too long to go without kombucha! I plan to buy 6 more bottles (24 total) and switch to 12 bottles at a time plus a couple of mason jars. This will mean a father turn-around time to go fewer days without Booch.
