I watched another video of yours where you stated it is not necessary to burp your bottles in second ferment. I didn't burp my bottles for a couple days. When I opened one to strain before adding to the fridge, it released strawberry/blueberry shrapnel all over my ceiling, 3 walls, cupboards, hair and face. So I am now in the "other" half of people who believe that burping during 2nd ferment is crucial. Days later, and I'm still finding little bits I missed way across the kitchen. : (
I am a total beginner in brewing kombucha, your channel has been the most helpful. I’m not very clear on keeping the scoby though, can I just leave the scoby with the left over tea from first fermentation in the original jar as it is or do I need to transfer it to another jar with starter tea? Would appreciate advice from any experience brewers.😊
How do you come back from a SCOBY hotel? do you just use 2 cups of the SCOBY hotel tea as your starter tea portion of the first ferment or would that be too harsh?
Hmmm, it all looks a lot like a first fermentation vessel and process. Whats the difference!? Won't your hotel simply create a new booch batch in abt 10 days?
No sugar to feed hotel?? …I'm doing my hotel to make a stronger starter tea… I probalily will feed after I take some cups to start a kombucha frist fermentation and I thinking use the same sweet tea that I will use to kombucha to feed the hostel… Its a good thinking?
I haven't fed mine in almost 5 months. It still looks fine, just very vinegary. Is it too late to feed it or should I start a whole new batch of scoby and start all over again? Thank you for your videos!
I put my big batch brew down for a 2nd ferment because I wanted to add more flavor before bottling it. It grew the thickest scoby in just a matter of days. It's beautiful and white but now it has flavor in it. My question is can I use this scoby in other main batch brews without it sending the brew into a nasty state?
Hi! I love your videos and your channel! I just have a question, do you use cane sugar? Because all the cane sugar I can find has a light brown color but yours is white, so I am just a bit confused. Also, is there a way to support you in any way? I would love to.:) 🙂 Your videos are saving my life!
Would I be able to use an air tight gallon jar of some sort for 2nd fermentation? Each gallon I make has the same flavor and I’d like to start straining the kombucha once the 2nd fermentation is done. I think it’d be easier if I could flavor the entire gallon and strain into bottles once it’s fully carbonated. Is that possible?
Hi! I have SCOBYs from.Jun, can I start feeding them using sugar to start.making Kombucha? …and…how can we use the SOCOBYs if we have excess of them? Thank you!
I have a question about the health benefits of kombucha. I totally believe it helps me. But I made my most tasty batch the other day and I just can’t help but think that it couldn’t be healthy but it tastes the best. I’m a travel icu nurse and hadn’t been able to get to the store in a while so I used what I had I used a can of pineapple and a can of peaches. Blended them and oh my god. The tastiest kombucha and the best fizz. But is it healthy? Can you help me figure that out? I want to make that one again but 🤷♂️. Ps. I absolutely love love love your show. I got my friends and most importantly my son to watch your show and we all make our kombucha. Thanks again
Any chance you can do some videos on coffee kombucha? I brew it myself, but would like to hear your pointers and advice if you have any…. most other videos I see aren’t as useful…
Wow that’s some timing! I’m about to make a Scoby hotel now and went on YouTube to pass the time while my hotel bottle sanitizes in hot water. And boom! You posted this. Thank you 🙏

What is sweet tea? I'm guessing that's an American term?
Thank you! My SCOBY hotel was getting quite low and this was just the right timing to help!
Hey! I had a question I cant find the answer to on your youtube, can I add chia seeds to my kombucha during F2 or should I do it after?!

Hi. Ur videos are amazing. How would you make 3 litres of kombucha?

How long does a scoby stay 'good' or 'alive ' ? Do they eventually come to the end of their life ?

You forgot to mention how much sugar…
What about sugar?

Girl I like your kitchen
سلام خیلی خوشگلی.🙏🙏🙋♂️
😲 I thought we had to use sweet tea only. So happy to know I can use fermented starter tea now too. Sooo much easier. You rock. Thanks!
Love you so much! Your videos are the best!! Thank you!

Thank you! You know what? I forgot the sugar too. Thank you for reminding me. I love your videos. Thanks.
Perfect timing, today’s project is to feed my scoby hotel. Thanks so much!
Is there a point where you should start throwing out old scobys/replacing tea inside the hotel?
I like how you sound
oooh! I wish this video was out a few days ago when I threw away a few sad scobies that were taking too much space!
