Guest guest Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Thank you for posting this question! I've been wondering the very same thing! I'm still relying on GT Dave's KT while I refine my brewing technique. The third batch is fermenting now, which I brewed using many more tea bags than the first two, which were quite weak. They had lots of nice fizz and good flavor from the fruits & herbs I added, but overall were a bit ... watery. While I wait ... somewhat less than patiently! .... for my own production to get to a reasonable quality and quantity, I can happily drink three 16 oz. bottles of the commercially prepared stuff. *Does* anyone have any advice about quantity? Thanks! ~Katja, near Sacramento > > I am interested in how much kombucha people drink each day. > I see that there was a poll done in 2005. I am drinking as much as > a half gallon each day.

I had never heard about the warning that one should start to drink probiotics like KT in smaller measures (???) and from there to gradually increase the amount. So I drank large quantities and not even water to match right from the start, I loved the stuff so much!! Glad to say I never had a detox symptom... maybe because I was never told that there could be any ;-) I still drink considerable amounts of both Kombucha and Kefir. Sometimes more of one than the other. I would say, I drink about a litre (quart) a day on average and so does my husband.... that's about 4 1/4 cups .... some days more, some days less. Kombucha (especially when it has been standing exposed to the air for a while) is a delight supreme! Best wishes most kombuchaly, Margret:-) -- +------------------ Minstrel@... --------------------+ <)))<>< http://www.therpc.f9.co.uk <)))<>< http://www.AnswersInGenesis.com God is my strong fortress.

Depends on what else I am drinking, along with kefir. The only time I notice anything is if I MISS a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 depends on how you see too much. I " m currently on a very calorie restricted diet (and down at least 21 pounds this year) so for me kombucha has to be in moderation, simply on a calorie count. So in that sense, yes, there is a too much, at least for me.
