Quote: Yes, what's good for Joe D. Bryant is good for the U.S.A. Edit: BTW, I'll probably be sending your scoby today.

Quote: Yeah, they're still kicking. I doubt though that I will ever do that again. They must have liked the taste and gotten used to it though because day before yesterday was super-hot, so I poured them a bowl of Kombucha over lots of ice cubes. You'd've thought I was throwing a cold-beer...

Quote: Glad it's working for you. Personally, thought, I would not use anything that had a spigot, especially plastic. I've read several times that the kombucha will react adversely with plastic.

Pronunciation of kombucha I often (almost always) hear it mispronounced. Here is the CORRECT pronunciation: come boo cha (as in cha cha) kombucha

Quote: Check this out:

Quote: Here are two videos that show a scoby:

Directions for MissPrissy and Cjeanean: ************************ Making Kombucha (one gallon) You will need: One scoby (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) One cup of starter (already made kombucha) One gallon of boiling water Seven Black tea teabags Two cups of sugar Bring one gallon of...

Quote: L&LOL It ain't a fungus though, really. The bacteria and yeasts in the scoby work on the sugar, tea, and caffein to change it into (something?).

Quote: Anne, just called our local health food store. They sell a 16 oz. bottle of kombucha for $3.39; it's kept in the health drinks cooler. Hope the Arnica works for you.

Quote: Ah, Arnica! That saved my vacation in The Dominican Republic. For some reason I came down with a severe case of sciatica. My daughter, a health food nut, insisted on my using her Arnica on my hip and leg. It had me fixed up in about five minutes. That stuff's a real miracle worker...

Quote: It's a liquid drink that Anne and many other people like the taste of. I just tolerate it. Not much when compared to beer or a martini.

Quote: Quote: Check the link in post 12. It answered your questions and mine Yours should be ready in two week if all goes well. ************************************************* I think I'd like to try some before I go through the effort to make it. It might be something I'd rather not...

This is what the two-gallon jar at Walmart looks like. I also found it on Amazon.

Quote: Okay, but we won't have a mother until next week; the hens just finished... BTW, you can only use clear glass containers, nothing else. The depth of the kombucha in the container should not be wider than the radius of the scoby. Walmart sells the perfect two-gallon, wide-mouth...

Quote: Right, but we only make one gallon a week; that's all we drink. All it is is seven black tea teabags and two cups of sugar put in one gallon of boiling water, cooled and poured over the new scoby and two cups of the old kombucha as a starter. When it's ready to drink after seven days...

Quote: Thanks! They'd better be, or Anne will kill ME.

Quote: A scoby really does LOOK like a mushroom. We ferment ours in a two-gallon, one-foot-wide, glass, wide-mouth container. The "mushroom" was a foot in diameter and about 1/4 of an inch thick. It really tastes awful, and I'd NEVER eat one, but chickens...

Quote: It's bacteria and yeast; hopefully, it'll do the same as yogurt. Kombucha is a 2,000-year-old Chinese medicine that's used all over the world now, especially in third-world countries. It's "reputed" to be a cure for almost everything. Anne and I really believe in it. We drink a...

I just now poured out the remainder of last week's kombucha to make room in the gallon jug for what's been getting ready for a week to replace it. While starting to make the new batch for next week, when I seperated the two scobies, I put the old scoby, symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast...
