Google it and you’ll find info. We were not sure at first and pulled the scoby, scrubbed it with water only, cleaned the jar out, and started from scratch with the apple cider vinegar (it can work as a starter, which we call “mother juice”, but at the price of it taking a couple batches to not taste like the vinegar). Nice post. Save two cups of kombucha in your gallon jar with your SCOBY. Thanks for the detailed feedback Jason. Now I have 2 scobys. For the first batch of booch that I use the starter tea in, I also double the amount of starter tea in the recipe. I just cut the strawberries into chunks.

I started buying kombucha before the great freak-out of 2010 – thanks a lot, Lindsay Lohan – during which the unquantified alcohol that could be in the drink caused it to be suddenly yanked off store shelves. When GT had to take their kombucha off the market & reintroduce it after the Lindsey Lohan thing they tweaked the recipe & there’s not as much pressure since what they’re marketing now is as near as kombucha vinegar as you can get.

Hi Karoline! I've been brewing for some time with a scoby bought online (I didn't know it could be done from scratch). Hi there! We brew ours with various combos of flavorful tea blends in addition to the tannin-full tea, and it means as we sample ours, we know exactly how it’s sourness will blend with the flavor combo.

Did your SCOBY come with ANY liquid? We started having them smell like really strong sulfur when we got back to brewing! or do I need to start from scratch again? – do you know if this would work using an herbal tea instead? I’m kinda nervous about this fermenting to begin with haha! Hi Laura….nice! -JOJO. if you want the mother from unpasteurized ACV to grow you need two things: provide air and food, the vinegar is kinda a finished product with little food for the culture left, also the culture is normally aerobic and needs air to grow and make acetic acid.

Making homemade kombucha is simple and easy.

If you will be using a 1 gallon jar to make future batches then put the quart of the tea with apple cider vinegar in the jar and cover with cloth secured by a rubber band. My suspicion is that if your lids are a bit old and the rubber is dry, it may not hold the seal quite as well. I’m hoping someone in the kambuch a community wants it. like veggies in your kombucha?
