    taking a page out of beer homebrewers book it is said that too little headspace can contribute to the possibility of explosions. because liquid is non compressable but air is, so when the pressure increases that headspace can give room for pressure but if it is completely filled up the co2 has no where to go and the liquid wont compress so it just pops (potentially)

    I love Kombucha, my wife knew that & got me a Kombucha home brewing starter kit for Valentine's day. Since then, I've been astounded at how excited I've been about the whole process, my first (first) fermentation is about half-way through, and I've already excitedly gone and bought some nice bottles for second fermentation, an electronic pH meter so I don't have to worry about running out of litmus paper, some extra thermometer strips and even a gallon jar of pickles to eat (yum) and then use the jar so I can brew two batches of Kombucha at once. Thanks for your videos - trying to soak them up and learn about brewing all around. Really appreciate your channel & also just want to express my love of Kombucha. It seems to be a rather acquired taste, or a 'you either like it or you don't' type of thing... Like black liquorice? With my first (and future) batches of Kombucha, I'm kind of hoping for a Kombucha with a bit more of a bite to it than store-bought Kombucha.

    hey, FIY when there is no more oxygen in your bottles then there will be no further carbonation nor further yeast development since those are mostly (if not all) aerobic bacterias. I'm a med student (not really the time to make kombucha every week) so what I basically do is making a loot of bottled kombucha 2months/year and I keep them for the all year out of the fridge and there is absolutely no differences between those I drink a month after and those I drink 10month after.
    Btw if you're looking for other videos about kombucha you could talk about coffee or apple juice kombucha (both acidic enough so no need for a starter). And about flavoured tea, it works just as fine as green,black or white tea... People shouldn't freak out so much, the scoby is way stronger than what most people think, the best way to go is to try everything that goes trough your mind !
    Oh and cool videos btw :-)

      @letachja 5 лет назад +2

      Nyc Bible just add more sugar. Basically the amount of sugar added determines the level pf carbonation you get.

      I used to make kombucha about 20yrs ago when it wasn’t well known about. All I had to go on was word of mouth and some photocopied pages that were given to me with my SCOBY. Those pages suggested different “recipes” by using different herbal teas with black or green tea, even fruit infusions. I never had an issue and grew lots of new cultures. Second fermentation was not a thing for me then, I had no idea! So I tried different teas until it was the flavour I liked. Looking forward to flavoring this way though when my new SCOBY arrives!

I like flip top bottles I washed and saved from a fizzy Italian soda. I left head space at the lower end of the neck just to be safe so I don't have exploding bottles in my face when I go to open it . My first batch turned out okay but I would have liked the extra piece of mind ..

    • @HardinProuductionsOriginal
      @HardinProuductionsOriginal 8 месяцев назад

      That's BS. You can't make a starter from scratch. Kombucha Culture is yeast that is generations and generations old.
      It's yeast that has had centuries to form and become known as Kombucha yeast.
      Also there's no such thing as a scoby that's misinformation. That "lip" is a placille and it's utterly useless.
      The liquid is what's important. You couldn't have made a Kombucha Culture from scratch unless you've been doing this for a few generations.

    • @CuppaLiber-tea
      @CuppaLiber-tea 8 месяцев назад

      Fun fact, the scoby is primarily within the liquid. The pellicle is a protective covering like the cloth you use. It’s just made of cellulose, proteins and scoby.
