I can't remember the name of it(I'll try and update if I can find the bottle in the recycling.), but I bought a bottle of some organic ginger green tea kombucha from a local coffee shop. I brewed up a dark, Pu-erh tea, 60 minute steep using 3 tablespoons of tea in 2 quarts of boiling...

How did you set things up? I just jumped on here to say how well it's been working. I put about a quarter inch of kefir or kombucha in a small sauce dish, then add 2-3 drops of dish soap, give it a quick gentle stir (don't want to get the bubbles forming.) And place it next to my fermenting...

Not sure if this is the right forum to post in but I figured kombucha is the closest thing to tibicos/kefir, on this forum. For those of you that do not know about this Probiotic fermenter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibicos I was curious to find out if anyone else is fermenting with it...
