Does any here brew kombucha here? I have quite a few Scooby from a store bought bottle I threw into a tea / sugar mix that was made in 2017. I forgot about it now they are huge and have spawned about 7 or 8 more .
Im curious who makes their own and what recipes they use. Naturally I have been doing so research on how tos but id really like to hear from the forum too.
I've drank it for a few years and it seems mildly healthy , carbonated , and the alcohol is low and this is to my need as I enjoy a taste of alcohol but im not much of a huge drinker anymore . ty

I used to brew kombucha. I would just fill one of those big pickle jars with black tea, put the scoby in and cover it with a cheese cloth. When it was done I poured it into empty store bought kombucha bottles. If I felt like flavoring it I would add some juice. Probably not the optimal way, but it worked.

Ya gotta add sugar to the tea don't forget, it's what the kombucha culture feeds on. I can't remember the ratio, but something like a whole cup of sugar per gallon of tea. I could be wrong on that but a quick Google search should show you lots of recipes.

I guess I forgot about the sugar part, it's been a while.
