  • @lindachandler2293
    @lindachandler2293 14 дней назад

    I love to watch your experiments. The coffee ones caught my eye in particular. I see you only added the coffee in the second ferment. I keep 2 jars going all the time. One is standard kombucha. One is coffucha; the initial starter for this one was kombucha, but each successive batch, the starter is some of the previous batch of coffucha. Coffee makes great kombucha, as does mint and roasted dandelion root; I wanted options, if supply lines were cut again. Yes. I know purists will say those aren't 'real' kombucha; my kitchen; my choice. My second coffucha ferments; in 12oz bottles; the night before, I put a tablespoon of sugar and my flavor of choice in a 4 ounce jar (one for each bottle) and let it sit all night in the fridge; most of my flavors are dehydrated, so this let's them wake up. I take the time to warm the flavors to body temperature before putting them in the bottles and topping them off. A cacao bean, broken into half dozen pieces and soaked in the little jar, adds a subtle taste to the coffucha. As does about ½" of a vanilla bean or pinching off about ½" of a real cinnamon stick. A good pinch each of pureed, dehydrated whole lemon and another pinch of pureed, dehydrated ginger makes one of my favorite coffucha or kombucha flavors. I'm very rural, very independent minded and like to keep things on hand, thus so many dehydrated flavors.

    • @RecklessBooch
      @RecklessBooch 14 дней назад

      How would you describe the taste of the coffucha? I've always heard it's an 'aquired' taste, and one that many people aren't very eager to acquire :D

  • @LilithFaye
    @LilithFaye 15 дней назад

    The recipe makes only sense when we know the bottle size :) How big is your bottle?

    • @RecklessBooch
      @RecklessBooch 14 дней назад

      A very fair point! These are 475ml bottles. I would just make sure and adjust to taste if you try any of these recipes. I have to alter the simple syrup amount a bit every time, depending on how the kombucha is tasting.

  • @hennesseyme9112
    @hennesseyme9112 15 дней назад

    Though lime and lemon are yummy, they were a bit too tart. I used fresh squeezed juice and some zest which made it not taste good. once I strained and let it sit a couple of days, both were delicious.

    Do you have a video of how to measure alcohol in kombucha?

    • @RecklessBooch
      @RecklessBooch 28 дней назад

      I've only briefly mentioned testing ABV in some earlier videos. For kombucha, the usual at-home tools don't work very well. The acidity, the particulates, the way the alcohol is used by the bacteria... It all throws off the calculation and the number can fluctuate quickly. For a vague estimate, I use Specific Gravity. And, from what I hear, that is accurate to +- 1.0% ABV. I tend to measure around 0.6% ABV. And most at-home kombucha brewers are making 0.5 - 2.0% ABV.

  • @avitulalevi
    @avitulalevi 28 дней назад

    • @RecklessBooch
      @RecklessBooch 28 дней назад

      I do have a mini (1 gallon) keg that I've considered using. But, personally, buying CO2 charges and keeping a keg in my refrigerator is more work than adding extra sugar and waiting a few days. I also like the flexibility of being able to make many different flavors each week. I will try it eventually, though, just to see!

  • @jbbbjj
    @jbbbjj 29 дней назад

    This is just kombucha flavored with grape juice. Not wine. You can make k9mbucha from anything sugary including just water.

    • @RecklessBooch
      @RecklessBooch 29 дней назад

      As the grape juice is fermented by yeast, it was a type of wine that I produce. And while you can get fermentation from a kombucha SCOBY with many juices, liquids, or sugar alone, kombucha is by definition fermented sweet tea. Nutrients in the tea are important for the long term health of a standard kombucha SCOBY, though it can be adapted for other sources.

  • @ironsandhammers359
    @ironsandhammers359 Месяц назад

    Use the skoby as you would with an aerobic fermentation for 5 days, then put it into a sealed bottle. Let it go through anaerobic fermentation for a couple of days, and then add an equal amount of whatever juice with some molasses and champagne yeast. Reseal it go through a second stage of anaerobic fermentation. What can result is a dry kombucha like drink with the tones of whatever you made, and it will be very bubbly bc of the added sugar from the juice and molasses, and ab as alcoholic as wine. you can also train the skoby to ferment certain results in the first fermentation, making various results. Cabbage for example can be used to create extra variety of probiotics, as do many fruit and vegetable skins bc of their natural yeasts, but the skoby used will never be the same again.

      Ah, once you have your cooled sweet tea (~1L) and your starter liquid (~0.5L), you just need to add water to reach the full volume of 3.78L Some kombucha brewing vessels come pre-marked at the 1-gallon line, but other brewers measure once and then mark the line themselves using tape. I hope that helps!

    Hi! Can I do this with home-grown red Thompson table grapes? They are not wine grapes, I know...but I have a lot of them and was thinking maybe it would ferment into a grape soda-like beverage:) What do you think?

    • @RecklessBooch
      @RecklessBooch 2 месяца назад

      I'm sure they would work great! I've made a few batches where I use grape juice in my second fermentation, along with some simple syrup, and the flavor has always carried through clearly. Grapes usually have a lot of acid, though, so I think that simple syrup is needed to help balance it out. I would say it probably won't taste like grape soda, though! That artificial taste is pretty specific (and, from what I've read, not a flavor found in any grape). I've had to use flavoring packets (like Kool-Aid) or extracts to accurately copy a grape soda. Let me know how it goes, though! Good luck!

    Just as a note from the future: I did prefer using plain kombucha bottled with 1-2 hops pellets. It offered a lot more depth, it was hoppy without overpowering the rest, and it still somehow offered more apple cider flavor than with using actual apple juice.

    When you do three stage fermentation, what vessel do you use for the flavoring stage?

    • @RecklessBooch
      @RecklessBooch 4 месяца назад

      For a three-stage, I've done flavoring both in the 450ml bottles and in the full 1-gallon fermenting. Both have worked great! If they're all sharing the same flavor, I generally flavor it directly in the 1-gallon. But using the individual bottles lets you be a little more precise (and it fits into my fridge a lot easier).

    Really nice video and advices, I’m starting o get into kombucha brewing, I like natural flavoring but getting no carbonation when second fermentating for 4-5 days and adding 5g of sugar.

    • @RecklessBooch
      @RecklessBooch 4 месяца назад

      I generally make plain bottles, too, and I've noticed they're a lot trickier to carbonate: it takes them longer and they're very sensitive to the amount of sugar. But here are some ideas you might try: 1) You could let a bottle go for longer, something like 8-10 days, and see if that improves anything (kind of like what I did with the lime juice). 2) It could be temperature holding them back. I keep my plain bottles on a heating pad in an enclosed case. But, before I bought all that, my bottles took twice as long to carbonate. 3) If you're filling the bottles to about 1" from the lid already, then it could be that the bottle isn't sealing fully. I've used some Amazon flip-tops in the past that wouldn't fully seal, and ended up needing to buy new bottles. Let me know how it goes, though, because there's certainly more we could look at. And, in my opinion, carbonation is the toughest part of making good kombucha. Even with a heating pad, it can change with every flavoring, every batch, every season, every bottle. It keeps you on your toes.

    • @vallejocvl
      @vallejocvl 4 месяца назад

      @@RecklessBooch I’ll try that, temperature is good and kinda stable at my place, 25-30C, when I bottle it a ton of bubbles form immediately, just not when consuming it. I’ll try letting it ferment longer. Also, I’m using a Continuous brewing setup, 1 gallon, I usually remove 1/3 of gallon every 4 days and refill.
