## Overview

This certified organic, live-culture Kombucha SCOBY kit includes a healthy pellicle and 8 fl oz of starter tea, enabling you to brew one gallon of kombucha at home. Each batch naturally produces a new SCOBY, allowing you to expand your brewing or share with friends. The kit comes with simple, printed instructions and uses non-GMO, kosher ingredients for a clean, probiotic-rich ferment.

## Description

Product Description You will receive one healthy Kombucha SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) approximately 2 1/2 - 3 inches in diameter and about 1/8 - 1/4 inch thick. The SCOBY will be packed in approximately 1/4 cup of starter liquid (extra strong Kombucha tea). You may see "chunks" of yeast and bacteria starting to grow when it arrives. This will be enough to ferment about two quarts of sweet tea. A new baby SCOBY grows with each new batch of tea - so you can conceivably increase your production with each batch. You will also receive instructions on how to set up and maintain your Kombucha brew. PLEASE NOTE: The size, texture and color of each SCOBY will vary. Directions Instructions included on the pouch P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Safety Warning May cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Handle hot liquids with care during brewing process. Legal Disclaimer One 4" Organic Kombucha Scoby - Live Culture mushroom See more

Review: Fabulous fermenting! - My old scooby (from somewhere else) had died (aka. got mouldy) whilst I was away on holiday for a prolonged period, so I got this as a replacement. I've suffered with chronic UTIs and other health issues for a very long time, had tons of antibiotics wreck my intestines for years if not decades, so probiotics are my friend. Making your own Kombucha is a very (!) easy and cheap way to create those healthy probiotics. I make the Kombucha as per instructions (60g brown sugar, 2 tea bags - green and/or black per Litre), leave it for 10 to 14 days to brew. The scooby will produce another scooby every time with each batch, so you can either multiply your brewing operation or use it - like I do - as garden fertiliser. For the latter, I put the scooby in my blender with some water and pour it over my rhubarb, roses and other plants outside. This works really well. As of the kombucha, leave 100ml of the "old" brew as starter liquid with your scooby, pour in the cooled-down new liquid sugar-tea and wait another 10-14 days. The almost-ready "old" batch, I tend to put in the frige with some frozen berries in a bottle (make sure to air regularly or leave the top off, otherwise it might explode.. active ferment and all), and drink over the course of 5 days or so. The berries (strawberries or raspberries, likely works with other fruit too) adds a nice flavour. If you like vinegar, you'll like kombucha. It's not quite like the store bought one, but it seems to make a very positive difference to my overall and skin health. Get brewing! (

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this vegan?**
A: The kombucha scobe is vegan in the same way that baking yeast is vegan. It is fed with tea and sugar, but you can add other things when making the drinks.

**Q: How many of these Scoby's do I need for brewing 3 litres of Kombucha?**
A: I use one scoby for 1 litre of Kombucha. Once they get going they soon grow in potency and before long you'll have enough for 2 , and quite possibly 3, litres. If you want to brew 3 litres straight away in one container, 2 scobys would probably do. The brew needs to be kept in quite a warm place initially, otherwise it might be slow to get going.

**Q: Does the scoby and started liquid come with nutritional infomation?**
A: No because you use the scoby to make the Kombucha and there are many ways to make it. The Scoby is bacteria only.

**Q: Does the scoby come with directions?**
A: Yes, it comes with starter liquid and instructions on how to brew a batch.
