Growing like crazy!
I must admit, when I first got this the directions were very confusing. But I work with sourdough and I know these things require time to get into the groove, and itâs kind of an art rather than a science. After watching several online videos, researching, and talking with friends, my kombucha is going great. The taste is good, the quality is good (nothing showing up that shouldnât be there!), it looks great (Iâm needing a bigger jar!)! If this continues then I will say this is a very good value for the money!

did not work
Product was dead because the kombucha did not work out. I followed instructions and it did not work. I would not recommend and I was unable to return.

Didn’t work out
I have brewed beer and made sourdough bread so I have some inkling of what I’m doing. That said, I’ve never done kombucha and I may have waited a bit too long to make the batch so I can’t fault the supplier there. Make sure you have time blocked out for this *before* ordering!

healthy scoby that produced really tasty and fizzy kombucha
Iâve been brewing Kombucha for more than five years now with my original scoby. I had been having issues with the flavor and carbonation of my batches lately so I figured it was time to start with a new starter. I received this in the middle of summer, I was really worried about the health of the starter when I received it because of its exposure to the heat. The bag it was in was so full of gas I was surprised it didnât burst. I followed the instructions on the card to get it started in a quart mason jar. I waited about a week, and then I fed it and gave it a bigger home in a gallon size jar. I typically brew 2 gallons at a time so I went ahead and made a second gallon with my original scoby.It took about 7 days for it to have the tart flavor I was going for, while my old scoby was still too sweet. It was really exciting to see the difference in the health of the scoby. I bottled both batches and waited 4 days for them to carbonate. The batch with the fresh scoby ended up being so carbonated that the bottles were fizzing over just from opening them. That is a really exciting sign!The kombucha tasted great. It was tart and fizzy and flavorful. I am extremely pleased with the results. The starter survived the shipping, and produced a really lovely kombucha. Its just enough for a quart, but its pretty easy to let it grow into bigger batches. I had enough scoby to move on to 2 gallons in just 3 weeks. The quality of the tea that is used to feed it is really important. With the right research and ingredients this soby can really thrive. I highly recommend using a bottle that can hold quite a bit of pressure to get it properly carbonated. I used mango pure as the flavoring for the second fermentation. Mango flavored kombucha is absolutely divine, and it has plenty of sugar to allow for carbonation.

Fingers crossed!
I have been considering making kombucha at home for quite awhile, but I haven’t really dived into the process quite yet. Until now. Admittedly, I should have probably looked into this a bit more! Especially the aspect of the scoby needing to be fed upon arrival. The poor thing went into our pantry, where it was forgotten about for a bit as we headed out on vacation. Oops! I finally got her going. The instructions weren’t super clear, and you get just the scoby and some pH strips. Luckily, I was able to find some really helpful videos on YouTube that explained the process. A quick run to the store, and we picked up a large glass jar, black tea, and cheese cloth. I added 8 cups of cold water to the jar. Then I brought an additional 8 cups of water to a boil. I steeped 12 organic tea bags for 20 mins. in the hot water, before then adding 1 cup of sugar. I then added the sweetened tea to the jar. Splitting the water meant that I didn’t need to wait for the temperature to drop before adding the scoby (water was at a perfect 90*). She has been happily floating, and while we’re only on Day 3, I already am noticing the color of the tea is getting lighter. She survived my terrible caretaking and is alive! Once she’s been chilling for a week, we’re going to do a second ferment in hopes of getting some carbonation. Excited for this process!

Easy to use and great tasting Kombucha
I’ve made kefir water before, but I had never made Kombucha. The processes are pretty similar. The directions were easy to follow. It had to sit a few days longer to get the same carbonation level I enjoy with my kefir. I added some lemon, lime, and ginger for flavoring. It was delicious. (By the way, I didn’t make until a month after I received it, but I did keep it stored in the fridge.) It didn’t seem to have any effect on it.

Great Scoby
Made my first batch of Kombucha using this product. Poured the entire scoby content in a 2 gallon jar and let ferment for 2 weeks. Everything turned out great. The scoby has grown in size and now Iâm making my second batch. Note: Shortly after receiving the scoby packet ensure you place it in the refrigerator until youâre ready to use it.

Do it right away or refrigerate
Didnât see the instruction, ordered it and moved soon after and misplaced it. Months later i found it, opened it and smells quite funky and realized it might not work. Doing some research to see if itâs worth me trying it out.Highly recommend everyone to get it when youâre ready start it ! Fermentation is takes time, effort and love !
