Food Does anyone make Kombucha?

[APRIL]

Omg it's yeast. Very similar in how beer is made. Tards.

The old ass hippies:

"The first recorded use of kombucha comes from China in 221 BC during the Tsin Dynasty. It was known as "The Tea of Immortality". It has been used in Eastern Europe, Russia and Japan for several centuries. It's from Japan in 415 AD that the name kombucha is said to have come."

I could easily see one of these dudes walkin around a Greatful Dead concert.

That's because it is hippy bullshit.

The wife loves it and it's like $3 / bottle. So I told her how easy it is to make and that we should give it a try. She's in. We're going to start in a few weeks.

Omg yes! Let's do this!

It's relatively inexpensive. And as long as you keep the process going, you'll never need to buy another Scoby. In fact, you can create something called a Scoby hotel, and rotate them, and even sell them off to others getting started. Keep it going and sell enough of them and you might be able to offset the cost of the Tea, making it virtually free.

Exactly! It seems too easy to not do.

One thing I've read in multiple places is that the kits you can buy come with a cheese cloth. The gaps in the weaving on many of them are too big and the bugs can get through it. You'll attract some flies with this since it is fermenting tea, so look around to find something with smaller gaps in the weaving. Think fruit fly small.

@APRIL will just have to get used to being a Scoby mommy.

I'm sure they do. I haven't really invested the time looking into it yet though.

Also, obligatory "I'll tea bag you" joke.

It's like that movie 'The Blob', where an amorphous biological mass grew out of control and consumed all biological organisms in it's path. Split it in half, all you have now are two murderous biological amorphous murder blobs.
