gonna make Kombucha again * 1
    #25537844 -

I kinda gave up on it after my batch went bad (tasted like shit) and then when I bought a new scoby and started over from scratch it still tasted like shit, even though I didn't change anything

right now the scoby I'm growing is already solid and it's only been a week

Maybe you're letting it ferment too long with the mother scoby? You're only supposed to let it brew until it just starts to taste a little sour. At that point I always bottle it with whatever sugary fruits I want it to taste like and let it ferment for another week or longer until it's nice and carbonated.

I doubt that it's your scoby. I used GT's Organic & Raw Original to grow mine in black tea. I always opt for classic instead of enlightened if you're old enough to purchase it.

Perhaps try some different teas.

Black tea makes for a strong kombucha. While black tea is needed for scoby health, you can brew with other teas.

I would brew 2-3 batches with just black tea and when my scoby got to be about a half inch thick, I switched to half green tea, half black tea. Once in a while I would brew a batch with just white tea, which made for a kombucha that tasted a little like champagne.

Adding fruit does help with flavor but you've got to be careful with second fermentation. Some fruits make for really carbonated kombucha, mango being one that I can think of off the top on my head.

I forget what I was using when it went bad but right now I'm using PG tips and I had success with that before.

One time I put pineapple and ginger in the bottles for second ferment and I had to open them in the sink and wait 10 minutes for them to stop fizzing after I opened them.
