“Success. Update: have made 4 one gallon batches. Now have lots of scobies in my hotel jar. After 10 days have been filling glass 12 oz bottles with 1/2 cup fruit juices and fresh ginger. Apple ginger and lemon ginger are most popular. Let set out 7 days and put in fridge.Fresh raspberry, blackberry, tart cherry, sweet cherry, and Mouberry have worked but have less carbonation. Some of the antioxidants may slow down the carbonation process.Good communication and customer service. I received the order on a hot day 101f and the package was left on my porch all afternoon. The package was 135f when I got home. My daughter and I tried to make a gallon of kombucha and the culture was not growing. I contacted the company and they sent a scobie to my work address. Gave it a try and had a new scobie growing and moved on to the second fermentation phase after 9 days.Good flavor. The one gallon batch made 8 16oz bottles using 4oz if fruit/juice per bottle. Used pH test strips to verify acidity level.Tried one bottle of fresh ginger and apple juice. Good carbonation and smooth flavor.Glad I purchased this was a fun science project for my kid.”
“Buy litmus paper to go with this. Great scoby! Packaging was awesome with the double sealed packaging.Directions were clear, but it recommends testing the pH. I had litmus paper around from home brewing and Im glad I tested it because it was too high and I needed to add the vinegar as recommended. Id recommend buying a small pack of litmus strips.”
“First time brewer and this rocked! I highly recommend. My scoby has grown from the humble disc that was mailed to me into a giant, thick gelatinous monster scoby . Great company :)”
