Home Brew Kombucha: Everything You Need to Know

You should never use Earl Grey, it has oils added that is bad for the SCOBY. SCOBY = Symbiotic Culture OF bacteria and yeast, and yes science does understand this. If using tap water, you should boil for 10 minutes. There is no organism when bottled, so dark bottles make no matter. Bottled Kombucha will NOT ferment in the frig. Love note on side of jar..... HA HA HA. You should know what you're talking about before making in uniformed video.

I have a question you may or may not be able to answer. I recently bought a Kombucha kit online. It came with what they described as a mother scoby (big white pancake) and a baby (small shapeless brown goo thing). i have not heard anybody make reference to what this brown thing might be because in all the videos they just make Kombucha with a white pancake looking scoby and after 2 weeks they have a second white pancake not a brown blob.

Thanks for calling me out on not keeping up with responding back to comments :) Kombucha promotes healthy digestion with its living enzymes. It would not be used for healing any stomach problems like Ulcerative Colitis or Chrons. Aloe, green juice, and fasting would help sooth inflammation.

my mum used to grow this in the fridge when I was a kid! Recently I told a friend about it but hardly remembered a thing, let alone its name.....Kumboucca!! (how we pronounce it) Now to find the culture locally (Aussie)... thanks for the reminder dude, this one's a gem \m/

I didn't have a SCOBY when I started mine. But you see that bottle of High Country Kombucha you have on your rack drying? I made it like you said and poured a bottle of that in. It worked perfectly. Have been making it for months. SCOBY's grow like crazy. Very easy.

how is this the best?? He is clearly clueless on how to care for the SCOBY. I have been making and drinking Kombucha Tea since I was about 16 and I am soon to be 32. Check out primitivemommy's channel here on youtube. MUCH better than this "Informative" video here.

I got a Scoby from a friend of mine, and I've been fermenting mine in a food-grade jar for about a week. My question is, when do you notice a baby scoby being formed? And, should my Scoby be sitting at the bottom so the baby forms at the top of the jar?

Was it mentioned to use a bit of the already made Kombucha as a starter? You certainly do not want just tea, water and sugar. Some use vinegar, some like to use a spalsh of their older batch, whichever one you choose to use, it is vital! Thank you!

Great video! I was actually just waiting on my tea to cool so I could start up a batch myself. Was wondering how the Earl Grey worked out, I've read that the oils in that particular blend might damage the SCOBY? 

Matthew Rosenberg commented on 22 Aug 2012

That's awesome! I burned on out the home made kombucha. I was using the same Scoby over and over and apparently that makes it very vinegar. I gave up putting herbs and things in it as well. I want to make Mead...

Did you leave out some kombucha tea from your previous batch...? You need water, tea, sugar (organic sugar), and some kombucha (left over from the batch you just put into the bottles), and the scoby.

Cher Fauvél commented on 03 Jan 2013

you mentioned wine bottles, but you could not use the metal screw tops, you also said maybe you should be using metal funnel, metal and cultures don't mix :(

Matthew Rosenberg commented on 04 Jan 2013

The mother will get bigger and bigger, but the batches will get vinegary. I would just use the baby and compost the mother in the Earth.

Kara Kay commented on 03 Jan 2013

WHen ready to drink your brew and start another batch do you just put the new scoby and old mothers into the next batch together?

PJ D commented on 20 Jun 2013

PLEASE DO NOT STORE IN a Plastic bag, the scoby will eat the PLASTIC, it has to be stored in a glass or crock container....!

Matthew Rosenberg commented on 10 Apr 2013

A black worm is not normal. Check with the suppliers of the culture you bought. You might need to toss it.

Hey guys what's the plastic cover that sits on top of the cans? I've never seen that before.

Adam2uBer commented on 30 May 2015

+J Thompson It's for making 4 packs of cans so it's easier to carry. They are made of 96% post-consumer recycled plastic and a lot more sturdy than the conventional plastic rings.
