Kombucha FAQ

Calendar

HOW LONG BEFORE MY FIRST BATCH OF KOMBUCHA WILL BE READY TO DRINK?

Your first batch of kombucha will take approximately 10-15 days to ferment or brew. You can taste test daily after about 7-10 days, or until it reaches a pH of around 3.5 or lower. There are many variables that will affect your actual brewing time, such as weather, temperature, age or matureness of your scoby, etc.

Question

WHAT IS A SCOBY?

A scoby is an acronym for Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast.

Jar

MY SCOBY HASN’T RISEN TO THE TOP. WILL IT STILL FERMENT THE TEA?

Depending on a number of factors, the culture may sink, float or sit sideways. Any of these are normal and won’t affect the finished kombucha tea.

Normal?

THERE’S NO BABY SCOBY. IS THAT NORMAL?

There are a few possibilities:

  • If your scoby has been refrigerated for some time, it may take a couple of brewing cycles before a new scoby forms.
  • Be sure not to use antibacterial soaps when cleaning your equipment. Instead, use distilled white vinegar to clean your equipment and brewing vessel.
  • Make sure the starter tea is not hot as it will kill or damage your scoby.
  • Check the quality of all the ingredients. Sugar, water and tea will all influence the success of your kombucha tea.

WHAT ARE KOMBUCHA BOOSTERS AND HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT FROM KOMBUCHA TEA?

We offer 3 types of kombucha boosters, each one is designed for a different purpose. The boosters are concentrated, and only require small drops as compared to a glass of kombucha tea. Each of the boosters can be used by placing 5-15 drops in a glass of water or other favorite beverage. Or you may also consume them, full strength, by placing 5-15 drops directly under the tongue with the dropper applicator.

Each bottle contains 30 sugar free servings, and because they need no refrigeration they are great to carry with you. They even meet TSA carry-on travel requirements!

KOMBUCHA EXTRACT

This booster is 15 times more concentrated than brewed kombucha tea. It is great if you don’t have time to make your own fermented tea or are living a sugar or caffeine restricted lifestyle. The Extract also helps alkalize the body.

KOMBUCHA PRO

This booster is 5 times more potent than kombucha tea. The Kombucha Pro is made from and contains the live probiotics contained within the scoby and not the tea. Kombucha Pro makes the perfect complement to our Kombucha Extract, as it contains the 'missing link' that is not found in any other kombucha extract; and that is… the LIVING probiotic.

Herbal
