Kombucha from the garage lab

I love kombucha, but I’m scared to make it in case I make some sort of toxic substance 😬

Haha! Yeah I was also a bit scared, but turns out not many baddies can live in it because of the pH

I know it’s so healthy and I’ve wanted to try for ages. Please let me know how you get on!

We’ve been making it regularly for the past 6 months or so, it works well! Give it a go 🙂

It undergoes a kind-of secondary in the bottles anyway. Almost always fizzy after a few days.

How much should I pay attention to which scoby to buy? Where did you buy it?
Bob @ayam_man
I got mine from eBay. I think the size is the biggest consideration, but it doesn’t matter too much. I can send you some of mine if you want 🙂 (I got a new one)

Hello again!
If you use 1600ml of water, how much of kombucha will you get in the end?

Good question. You save back approx 200ml of the old batch, and add the 200g sugar, so ~2 litres.
