Guest guest Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Good question, i recall reading something about that on Dom's site. Dom is probably the world's foremost kefir expert, and also brews kombucha and vinegar. He had a good discussion on just this topic, but i don't recall the final answer or if he actually carried out any experiments. Probably has the best answer you'll find short of performing the experiment yourself... Woody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 The bacteria strains in ACV are not the same as in KT. They are two very different things, both good, but different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Hi EveryOne, Kombucha and mother of vinegar are not the same. They may share some things in common but not all. Different microorganisms. Peace, Love and Harmony, Bev > > Good question, i recall reading something about that on Dom's site.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Thanks everyone I guess the ACV mother I mentioned would be good to collect and make more vinegar, but not tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 There's an interesting experiment written about on http://users.sa.chariot.net.au/~dna/kombucha.htm where Dom brewed tea side by side, one with a kombucha scoby and one with a vinegar scoby. Over the period of 2 years, the product of the vinegar scoby became more like that from the kombucha scoby till it was difficult to tell apart. From this he speculated that it is theoretically possibly to morph acv to kombucha scoby, but it would take a very long time. Interesting, but better to just acquire a good bucha scoby.
