    Your continued generosity and kindness is fuel for the rest of us to help our friends and neighbors start micro brewing their own kombucha… Thank you for everything you do. I love that you love what you’re doing and aren’t trying to monetize it just for the sake of monetizing it. Thank you thank you thank you

    Did anyone else keep starring at the small bottle of Kombucha that was active & moving around? 😊 Love your channel ❤️

      Yes! It's fascinating... reminds me of staring at my grandma's lava lamp when I was little

    Thanks for sticking to your standards. I bought your book and I’ve been keeping the logs. I’ve done6 batches so far. Each one has been better and easier. Thanks for all your great videos also.

    I made my first batch recently, after watching your helpful videos - it's going through second fermentation right now. I kept eyeballing the active bottle on the left side of the screen, lol. Amazing, love it!

    I would say you are very successful. Your videos and website gave me the courage to try it. I am now having fun creating different recipes. Thank you very much. I appreciate you and what you are doing. Not everything revolves around money.

    Customers definitely take the luster off of any labor of love. I've often thought of taking my mead brewing "professional" and then I remember my 20+ years in retail. Nope.

    Every word you said is spot on, totally can relate to you. Not just kombucha but all other stuff I dabbled in just for enjoyment. For own joy, we can test out and play with different variables.
    Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

    I totally get your response and applaud you. It's a question I get a lot, too and I always mention that it's just something I like to do that my husband & I enjoy. I enjoy home-based projects (I also make my own Greek yogurt which is not a challenging process but something that takes a bit of effort in understanding the hows & whys) and want to try other food ferments and things. Plus, I have other interests & pursuits like photography and birding, reading and watching movies which takes time. I work for a living, so my time is precious and the things I like to do in my off time are valuable to me. It seems that the conditioned thought process so many people have is that we have to make money off our pursuits (whatever they may be but especially art and I feel for so many of my creative friends) - that our pursuits are not worthy unless we are making money off of them (& ideally, a profit). Such is the capitalistic way we're so accustomed to. I buck that way of thinking outright. Making a living and making a life are two very different things. Oh! I bought apricots the other day. I am roasting them to jammy ambrosia to make an apricot kombucha (lime juice + zest + cinnamon + clove will also be added). Thank you for your channel. The content far supersedes any other kombucha info out there.

    Everything you said is why I make my own Kombucha. Home brew is all I will ever do too. Synergy raw Kombucha, is the only one that I buy sometimes, that I like, and I trust to be good. Have a good Day.

    As someone who did this with beer I would strongly recomend not to go comercial. Too much hassle and it stops being fun. Costly affair it was too. Stick with homebrewing. You point out some very good points about consistency, pasteurization and so on. It sucks to have customers with bottle-bombs/can bombs and it does happen to all breweries at one point.

    Hi, I have found your channel the best of all kombucha makers, thank you so much for doing this🥰!
    I have been making kombucha for 1,5 years for now and would like to expand it but keep the homemade quality. You referred to some small producers who do the same, can you name some of them, cause I'd like to visit them or at least on of them. Thank you in advance 🙏😇🤗

    such a nice change of thinking in a capitalistic world. you do something good and dont try to maximize the income you could make with it and just waste quality. there is a demand and you say, not worth it, it will be just not be the same anymore.

    I love to cook and bake. I have had an obsession with food and creating treats and meals that are delicious in my kitchen. I have absolutely no desire to cook for a living because to me cooking, and baking, and now brewing, is my hobby and what I love to do for fun.
    Being under pressure to produce the same food product over and over again just seems monotonous and stressful. It would ruin my personal passion for creating in the kitchen

    Let’s say we were ever in the LA area (which is very rarely), would you be willing to sell a few bottles to loyal subscribers?? :)
    I noticed you have a Ko-Fi set up, so this would be another way for us to “grassroots” support your hobby.
    Just curious!

    I have a question not about brewing kombucha. A label with permanent marker fell into my brew. I took it out right a way. I was wondering if this compromised my kombucha brew?

    • @applegal3058
      @applegal3058 4 месяца назад

      How has your brew been going since this happened? My guess would be it's fine since it didn't sit in the liquid for too long to leach any chemicals, and SCOBYs are quite resilient, but I could be wrong...

    Can I use decaffeinated tea? And how much of the caffeine will be in the brew with regular caffeinated tea?

    • @catrinplaser5706
      @catrinplaser5706 2 года назад

      SCOBY uses about 2/3 of the caffeine, and as kombucha is made with less of tea than a regular cup of tea, then there's left a really small amount of caffeine. Kombucha culture feeds from caffeine and sugar, so you can't make kombucha without these ingredients
