"knowing somebody that has it" Better call my scoby dealer

if you buy a bottle of kombucha from the store you can just pour a quarter of the bottle in to your cooled sweet tea and after a week or so a scoby will develop and you will have kombucha.

You find the scoby right between the schkleem and the fleeb

when adding a scoby to a new batch of brewed tea you must add a portion of starter liquid (already brewed kombucha) in with the scoby so that it ups the acidity levels which helps fight off unwanted bacteria. Always make sure your utensils and hands are sterilized when reaching into your brew. Bacteria on your hands can seriously mess things up which is why I recommend trying not to handle the scoby too much. Scoby's like to be undisturbed, and in a dark, warm place. If you live in colder climates you will have to use some sort of heater or nothing will happen as the scoby will go dormant.

"you can get it by knowing someone that has it" super helpful stuff here

Instead of just putting the scoby in your room temperature sweet tea, add also a cup of the kombucha from the previous batch. It'll kick start the fermentation and keep the scoby strong and healthy.

I love this part "that hippies like and that companies make a lot of money off"

How to make kombucha: Get tea Find scoby Put scoby in tea Wait

I know this video is old BUT, there a few things in here that are miss leading. You can use green tea for kombucha, or a blend of green and black. But don’t use flavored or altered teas. And you MUST add already brewed kombucha (starter) to your tea. The “SCOBY” she is referring to is more of a bi product of the actually SCOBY and most of the bacteria and yeast are in the liquid not the SCOBY mat that is produced. You can technically brew with just starter and sweet tea, no SCOBY mat since the life force is in the liquid. Hope this helps you on your kombucha journey!

Recently i started making tepache, a Mexican drink made with fermenting pineapple skins, sugar and spices. I find it easier to make and the taste and carbonation are great too. And no need to find a scoby dealer

My school has a class called Smart textiles and in the class we learn how to take scoby and turn it into plant leather and can use it for weaving, knitting, sewing, dyeing etc.

but where did the first scoby come from

My first batch made me feel so accomplished. 🎉 When I make mine now, I sweeten it after I drain the leaves. I then add flavor after the desired fermentation.

Whoa, the skoby looks like a raw chicken thigh 😨

After a week of fermenting, I personally use 1lt glass bottles. I pour in 800ml of the Kombucha along with 200ml of Apple/Blackcurrent juice (with no preservatives) to give it more flavour. I leave those bottles in a dark, warm place for another week before storing them in the fridge. So I recommend adding juice to your own Kombucha. If you do, it was to contain no preservatives or anything artificial.

My mom would make this all the time when i was 3 or so. She was amazing at it! It tasted delicious but because of moving she ended up stopping a few years later. Still addicted to kombucha to this day

host: zoinks, scoby theres a g-g-ghost!!! scoby: ruh-oh!

I love how upfront she is about her skepticism of the bold health claims and awareness of typical consumers and commercialization of the product; I'm not sure exactly what the word is I'm looking for, but it like made me trust the video a lot more.

Thanks for showing how it's done. I'm excited to try this at home

You can make your own SCOBY by dumping a plain bottle of Kombucha in your pre-made cooled vat of sweetened tea. You will have baby scobies in a couple of weeks.

I have a new pet now, which has expanded into may twins quite fast. But since all came from the same papa, I call all of them Scoby Doo.

(shudder) Looks like a placenta, but oh, it's only giant sliver of cultured living bacteria.

Thank you for this information. I just had knee replacement surgery and took 5 days of antibiotics afterward. Everything is going great, but I know I need fermented foods to get my microbiome back in balance. I'm going to make cambucha today. I've already made simple sourkrout. I'm amazed at how perfect nature is and I'm grateful for the wealth of info to be found here on the internet.

Thank you so much for sharing your tips! I'm going to give it a try using honey!

Great video! Lisa was a great hostess. The presentation was clear, the story was relatable, and the video as a whole as fantastic. I'm looking forward to seeing more content of this caliber!

I named my scoby Felicia.... is that weird?

REALLY hoping that the second stage video comes out as well!

Quality video good job Munchies

It's funny Konbucha is something totally different drink in Japan. That one is called Koucha Kinoko 紅茶キノコ

what came first, the scoby or the kombucha?

Great video! You're awesome! I like how you explain it.

i thought it had vinegar as an ingredient when i first tasted it lol it's so distinct 😄😄 great video!

well wtf take me to the second stage of fermentation

Munchies is the shit because there's no bullshit trailers

I ordered a scoby it is something that i have been wanting for a long time so i am excited

I'm amazed, kombucha is so yummy! Thanks

You're such a nice person Lisa!

I have battled depression for 25 years. If only I knew about Kombucha. It really does work.

I like your easy approach. You make it seem uncomplicated.

That's so cool! I didn't know Kombucha was made that way !

i want sambuca

lol it's very popular in Russia. every granny knows how to make it

great video and love jasmine tea kombucha and you don't need black tea to make kombucha. I use coconut necter or brown rice syrup for making kombucha

Thanks Lisa Lov, you're awesome

"YOU LIKE KOMBUCHA I *LIKE* KOMBUCHA WOOOOOO WOOOOO"

Thanks for the tips! Love the video❤

This is one of that things thats is every russian child afraid of

I drink kombucha and I never knew it is basically the excretions from an organism that looks like it's from Planet X. That said, it tastes nice so I'll keep on! 😄👍🏼

Thanks for the info Lisa, we are now producing and promoting Kombucha!!!

compliments to your articulation. thanks

"So...the scoby you can get by knowing somebody who has it." Gee, thanks for the helpful advise. :)

THE KOMBUCHA MUSHROOM PEOPLE SITTING AROUND ALL DAY

Hey what sugar would you recommend or does it transform so much it doesn't matter if it's refined or not?

Best demo I've seen in a while.

WHERE CAN YOU GET THAT ROUND GLASS BOTTLE

4:35 it's ready when it's doubled in size.

Thank you for uploading this video. I am a new kombucha fan.

Hi thank you for this tutorial. It’s very complete but the only question I have is how to flavor it with juice and do the second fermentation? Can you please explain this or make a video part 2?

Kombucha makes me poop like immediately.

She's so nice

you can grow your own scoby, make sweet tea and add store bought kombucha, leave it for a few weeks. you also don't need black tea, you can use green tea as wel, or smtn else

Interesting. I start out the same, measuring out 4 cups of water, bringing it to a boil, adding and dissolving the 1 cup sugar, steeping 8 bags of tea. Then - we differ. I pour my strained tea into a 1 gallon glass jar, add cold, filtered water to about 3/4 full, then I plop in the baby scoby that grew on top of the mother scoby, add in 1 cup of plain, fermented tea from either my Scoby Hotel, or from the batch I previously brewed. Cover and let ferment for about 12 to 15 days. Then I bottle it with 2 Tbsp Mango Juice (I like the Naked brand here in the U.S.). And it ferments on a heating mat for about 8 more days before going into the fridge. Delicious! Have not had a cold since I started drinking it.

you have the grossest looking SCOBY I've ever seen xD

how long does a skoby last? does it ever go bad? I can't wait to make my own kombucha now!

hello im always confuse as for the first stage to we need to have a big schobu? my friend gave me a sample but im not sure its big enough! how do i make it reach that stage before the first fermentation?

Saw two wild scoby yesterday while fishing. They are fast man 👨

Remember that Jessie episode... Where the scoby tortured luke?

I can't wait to make this never!

Does anyone know the name of the riff that starts playing at 3:23? It's rather catchy...

Hello! First of all, thank you for your helpful video. I have a question, maybe you or someone can help me. I made kombucha tea and let it sit for 10 days. After I unveiled the jar the color of the tea wasn't so yellow as yours. Mine was a light brown. Where do you think I messed up? Is it too much black tea? Is it too much sugar? I should let it sit for 14 days? Thank you.

Scooby doo

That shit looks like a placenta. I'm out.

How long does the scoby last ? do u recyle the scoby in new tea each time to make an new batch ?

I love taking kombucha. There is a shop selling the drink in Malindi- kenya. they use honey as a sweetener

Soooo, it's ALIVE!?

"cures "cancer. Oh you silly hippies.

Well presented

Thanks - always wanted to know what it was. I see it everywhere lol

What a qt

Cool, but that is one janked up scoby

Nice video! I haven't made kombucha in a couple years but still have the scoby in my fridge!

Dear Munchies Thank you for this info. May I please ask you about the sugar, I see you using white sugar. Can I use brown sugar or what the people used for this before white sugar? Is their something else to use, like maple syrup? or raw cane juice? Please let me know thank you.

Aren't you suppose to use some of the old kumbucha to pour into the new mix as a starter tea?

But what we really wanna know is, can we eat the SCOBY!

Can you use any kind of tea?

Hello, how would you do the second one to flavor? Would you simply add the kombucha and then the juice, the scoby? And let sit again? Thank you.

the kombucha mushroom people

Scoby bryant

you can find scobys at some homebrew stores and amazon

Is 2nd fermentation necessary? Or can we drink it after its been fermenting two wks? This is my first time. Tomorrow will be two wks since I put the scoby in my tea. Can I drink this tomorrow (after I take the scoby out and put it in more tea).? Or do have have to ferment is again for a couple of more days before I drink it? I know that for the second fermentation we can add flavor. But can I simply add stevia and drink this tomorrow?

When you become part of the kombucha mushroom people you'll sit around all day

Kombucha mushroom people

Is there a limitation in tea quantity? Can I use the same scoby for 1 gallon of tea which I used for 1 litres?
