Re: Thanks for your attention. I am only 91 I have been drinking KT since the Blizzard of 96. When did you start?

Interesting post Marge. I've wondered about varieties. I've only been brewing

about 3 months, so my experience is limited. I started by scratch with some

localbucha and a little tea, and now have numerous SCOBYs from that strain. I

recently bought some SCOBYs from craigslist, and these got really thick really

fast and the yeast seemed different too. Now i see you saying the store bought

stuff is lactic acid based but your older strains were acetic (i assume that's

what you meant) acid based. Do you know of any links to further discussion on

this topic? Also, can you tell how to determine which strain one might have? -

I worry because the newer brewers are using scobies that they get from the top

of store-bought Kombucha Tea that is lactic-acid based.

Our older acidic-acid based Kombucha produced more visible, physical reaults,

especially in us elderly.
