We recently used a kombucha bottle to hold maple syrup and when it was empty, I added kombucha brew, lemon juice and a sprinkle of ginger and it was fantastic!
Love the energy you bring to the lecture/video. Keeps people's attention. A Scoby is not required to produce Kombucha, but rather that cup of old fermented kombucha that you pour into the new batch will generate a new Scoby. The scoby is a by-probiotic-product .
If I understand correctly, yes, you can keep reusing the mother SCOBY and she will continue to grow (with babies of course). When she gets really big, (around an inch or so I'd say) remove one of her baby SCOBY's from the top and start again. Hope that makes sence!
I just ask my wife “do you know what Kombucha is? Never mind she’s telling us now.” Love your families channel. It’s truly a breath of fresh air. Jon in South Carolina
hey! thanks for all the tips and tricks on how to make the tea and you provide so much information perfectly.. I would love to maybe pay for some classes just to start me off in my kombucha journey. Thankyou
Hallo.Ich suche schon lange nach einem einfachen guten Rezept.Dieses Video ist super.Auch wenn ich kein Englisch verstehe. SO sympatisch.Toll.Wenn Sie mir die Mengenangaben auf Deutsch schicken wäre wäre Super.Ach,es wird ja automatisch übersetzt. Info wäre toll.Danke,Bis bald.Brigitte from German
Thanks so much for this interesting video. You were the one who got me started drinking Kombucha. I have not tried to make it myself yet because we have local people that make it and sell it on tap at our local emporium. Maybe someday soon though when I can get a scobie from you. 😉
Yay! Great to hear from you Linda! That's wonderful that you've been drinking it from some local brewers! And yes, if you're ever up here I'd be glad to get you started with one!
This was wonderful, thank you for sharing! Will have to try it, we've only tried making beet kvass but only a few of us will drink it, yours sounds yummy!
You're most welcome, thanks for watching! If you ever want to start brewing, we sell starter kits for $10. They include a SCOBY, starter culture and instructions.
Awesome video, thank you. Where did you buy those jar tops? Could you post a link? I have regular plastic lids that do not hold carbonation. Thank you Eva
Great explanation of the process. I want to start brewing my own. Where can I get a quality scoby? Do you guys deliver. I’m in Ontario. Thanks for sharing. Great video. Love the bloopers. Lol
Thank you. Yes, we sell SCOBY's and have shipped in Canada and into the US. If you're interested you can order them here: www.fourseasonsnorth.com/product-page/kombucha-scoby-kit
Thanks Sandra, great to hear! We ordered them from Lee Valley - they have a rubber ring inside that help to seal. They're also great for all our other ferments.
Do you ever have problems with your brew tasting too yeasty? I’ve been making kombucha for years and find lately I am not enjoying the taste due to the flavour change. I strain the batch to get rid of the yeast and discard the last inch. Yours looked delicious.
I am attempting to make a scoby without any komboucha whatsoever. Just tea and sugar. Is this method acceptable to do? The first culture got moldy so I started another one today
Trying to make a SCOBY without some sort of culture most likely will not work. If you want to make your own SCOBY, you could put some apple cider vinegar with your tea/sugar mix. I did that once and it made a SCOBY. Or, you could buy an unflavoured kombucha drink from the health food store, give it a shake and put some of it in with your sugar/tea mixture. Good luck!
Sorry Amberlyn , first time Ived heard nor drink kombucha ,so Ived googled it (😊)and I learned it’s origin comes from Russia & in Northern China.want to try to brew it but seems complicated to do ,God Bless.
Yes, that's right! It does seem complicated at the beginning, but when you understand how it works it's really quite simple: Every week or two brew tea, add some sugar, add the culture, let sit for a week or two and then repeat. It's very fun and rewarding. You really should try it!
@@fourseasonsnorth Ived learned a lot of plant based drinks from one of your “how to make vlogs”one of my favourite is rose hip tea.Ived foraged a lotss of wild rose hip,& make them to a tea ,it is really refreshing with health benefits.Thxs & God Bless...
Yes! We make it with our own garlic and fresh honey and have it available for purchase. We take it when we feel a cold coming on. It has quite the punch of goodness!
The true scoby is the mix of yeast and bacteria in the liquid ... the other so called scoby is a solid pellicle created by the bacteria and it's a form of cellulose, this isn't necessary to use in the kombucha brewing

You are an amazing teacher
Wow….Thank you…. Loved the demonstration
i should start making kombucha again i did it last year for the whole summer but i lost my scobys to mold and couldnt recover.
I like and have adopted your technique of keeping the scoby in its jar and not combining them. To keep them segregrated; prevents cross contamination.
This is one of my favorite guides on Kombucha.
Thank you for all the details!! Much appreciated. The Lord bless you
Thank you, what an enjoyable vid... love kombucha
Thanks for the video! Very useful and well made, explained! Will for sure do an experimental garlic-onion kabucha thou 😁
"They're attached...but not *deeply* attached." This made me giggle.
Yay!
How do reply to her or dose she had turned off
This was super helpful! Thank you so much! I’m about to make kombucha for the first time and I’m praying it turns out well
Hello, I’m an Orthodox Christian. God bless you, I like your channel.
Thank you very much :)

So excited for this vid!! I asked back in August and you did it, thanks!!
Yes! Was thinking of you when making it! Glad you enjoyed it, Charlotte :)

Great to hear from you Jon and hope you stick around! Thanks.

You don’t have to throw the Scoby away. It also has a lot of probiotics. You can blend it into a smoothie or cook it in your food.

This was wonderful, thank you for sharing! Will have to try it, we've only tried making beet kvass but only a few of us will drink it, yours sounds yummy!
Yes, do try it! I'm sure you could find someone in your area that you could get a SCOBY from!
I will like to have the chance too visit your farm! it seems so armoniosa! GBY!
This is awesome! I have always enjoyed Kombucha and I have wondered how realistic it is to make it at home. Thanks for this valuable content!
You're most welcome, thanks for watching! If you ever want to start brewing, we sell starter kits for $10. They include a SCOBY, starter culture and instructions.
This was very helpful. Thank you for sharing your process 🙂💗
You're most welcome, glad you found it helpful Annaliza!
That was awesome! Greetings from Kitchener Ontario. Thank you.
Greetings back to you - thanks Jason!
Awesome video, thank you. Where did you buy those jar tops? Could you post a link? I have regular plastic lids that do not hold carbonation. Thank you Eva
i just discovered your channel. wonderful content!
where do you purchase your organic hibiscus flowers?
thank you
Thanks so much!
We bought ours from omfoods.com
lol @ "they're attached but they're not deeply attached"
Could you share the link to the white glass jar tops? Thanks
Great video! I use to make this stuff. I am so inspired to get going again. Thanks!! - Elizabeth
Wonderful Elizabeth!
Awesome!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🖤
Thanks Harper!
I just have one question. The lids your momma found, where did she find them? If there is a link will you put it here please?
Your awesome what a great teacher....I love my kombucha (:
Thanks - great to hear you love your kombucha too!

Great tutorial! Can I ask where you found the plastic lids for the second brew!? I love making kombucha. We love it with green tea!
Thanks Sandra, great to hear! We ordered them from Lee Valley - they have a rubber ring inside that help to seal. They're also great for all our other ferments.
Made me thirsty, great vid.
Haha! Thanks

Straining should help, but you could also try just using the very top for your starter liquid instead of stirring it up beforehand.

I had the same trouble ..... my homemade pellicle grew to 2 inches but then got mould and had to be binned

That's really great to hear. Blessings.
Just wondering if you tried fermenting garlic with honey. Comes out good.
Yes! We make it with our own garlic and fresh honey and have it available for purchase. We take it when we feel a cold coming on. It has quite the punch of goodness!
You don’t do a second ferments?
She does at around 12:00.
Ah! My girls love Kombucha. We may have to try that.
Yes! It would be a great science class for them :)
Oh it does feed off the caffeine…?
I didn’t quite get what exactly is Scoby?
SCOBY = a Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast. Basically a culture.
The true scoby is the mix of yeast and bacteria in the liquid ... the other so called scoby is a solid pellicle created by the bacteria and it's a form of cellulose, this isn't necessary to use in the kombucha brewing
Mine is good at 7 days.
How do you make a scoby
Mixing tea and raw unflavoured kombucha is the best way
How can you do kombucha video without making the kombucha meme face!!?? :)
