“Makes great kombucha.. Upon arrival, the Scoby looked good but it was rather small in diameter. But after a couple of batches it grew to the larger diameter and fits better in the jar that I use. Makes a great drink.”
“Wow! Fermentaholics is The Best!. Tried many times to make Kombucha: getting a scobies from friends, buying scobies from fermenter sites on Amazon and via independent sites. One was even from a highly rated brand from which I purchase my tempeh starter. All were busts.By far, the best scoby and starter tea, most flawless, thorough and fail-safe directions, and speedy answers to my questions were from Fermentaholics. I was skeptical about ordering a scoby from Florida since I live in the PNW, but it arrived in fine condition. Waited until I was on my third batch of kombucha to leave this review. No problems from the get-go - if you follow the directions - to get a tasty, tangy and effervescent yield. Highly recommended!PS - I suggest getting stick-on thermometers to ensure your kombucha maintains adequate temperature. I keep mine between 82-84 degrees. Otherwise, you will be growing mold, which you should toss out ASAP.”
“First time brewing kombucha, so far so good (3 months in). I've never brewed a bottle of kombucha in my life, but inflation is hitting hard these days so I decided I needed to do it myself. Looked this up on Amazon and saw this as one of the best rated, so I decided to give it a shot. Look, I'm not a DIY guy usually, but this was incredibly easy to follow. I'm now brewing a gallon every two weeks which has been more than enough. I think my SCOBY has grown big enough to mother a second! Highly recommended for beginners like me.”
“Easy to do and understsnd. The product arrived quickly and was very east to use. Directions different from others I read prior to arrival, but no problems. Try it if you like Kambucha”
“Great for beginners, would buy again. I'm new to making kombucha after trying my neighbors' homemade kombucha. I was delighted at how easy it was to make and I bought this scoby to get started.The instructions on the packet were super easy to follow. I made a black tea and a separate green tea kombucha using this scoby. Granted kombucha looks kinda snotty and gross, my husband won't go near it but I love having the full flexibility to make kombucha how I want, adjusting sweetness and flavor, type of tea used etc.I paired some of my newly brewed kombucha with a flavoring booster and was very happy with how they turned out!I used large wide mouth mason jars to brew in and screw a coffee filter over the jar opening. Smaller batches are ideal for me since I don't drink it every day.One change I would like to see is if the brewing instructions came on a card that you could keep on the fridge or in a recipe book rather than the outer packaging. My family keep trying to throw out the packaging with the instructions on it and I'm not quite confident in my kombucha brewing skills just yet!Would I buy again? Yes absolutely! It was convenient and easy to use!”
