Kyt- you mention the use of distilled water as a possible deterrent to carbonation. This is only my fourth batch so I am a novice- the instructions I received withmy SCOBY said to use distilled water and it is what I have stuck with. If not distilled, what do you think would be a good choice?

Excellent- I find I am so impatient to get to the kombucha! It takes too long!! :) Good to know- she seems nice enough- but it wouldn't hurt to ask! She is charging me $10 to cover mailing and packaging- didn't think that was too onerous- especially considering that first link I put on here...

I just joined and requested a culture. Crossing fingers!! :D I had seen on ebay too but that was my concern- how do I know it isn't just a kombucha in Jun clothing since I would never have seen one? I think I have better chance of the straight scoop on FB then on ebay but who knows.

Thanks kyt! Just joined! A world of info on there and I put in a request :D:mug:

Update.. Overnight the container developed a thick white froth that I then strained. I removed the grains and placed in fresh milk. The thick curd-like substance I shared with my mom and weboth enjoyed it. It had a slightly sour taste but not as if it had gone off. It was quite thick. I am...

I Googled and found this link: http://www.kombuchabrooklyn.com/jun-home-brew-kit.html If inappropriate because is a commercial site, apologis and please delete. Seems a tad pricey, tbh.

Kyt- it looks as if you have some in water? Why is that? And frankly I have zero idea re the yeast info you gave me. It is way over my head! How and when does one go about adding it? Would I need a second fermenting jug/crock for the yeast step or do I some how add to the bottles? And wow...

I have gotten the Fermentation Bug! I started with kombucha and am enjoying it so decided to try kefir. I purchased grains and today it seemed they had finally rehydrated enough to do their thing. The last milk they were in that was the first that actually turned thick, tasted pretty bad... I...

I have noticed this is an addiction... Already plotting on how/where to add another fermenting crock so I can stagger the brewing and never be out! The bottling above, some I added watermelon chunks to, another couple got strawberry and still another, ginger. How long do I have to wait for...

There's an app???? WHERE??? Why yes, there is!

New to all of this~ I have enjoyed drinking kombucha but my "habit" was getting stupid expensive, so decided to brew my own. Am on my second batch and of course, experimenting and still pretty clueless. Of course I am having the, "Is this mold???" doubts- but nothing smells rotten and the result...

Googled "Kombucha Forum" and found you guys :)
