Restarting old KT scobies. If you have no starter, try using distilled white vinegar for starter.

[Guest guest]

The continuous breing process is differant. Although, I did a test so to speak

by seeking the longevity of the Scobys and 10 brew was a little much for a great

drink. I would say 5-8 brews is the most I would want to do anymore. Remember, I

am doing the single brew method.

In continuous brewing, I would leave the scobies alone. That is untill they end

up taking over to much space to get a good yeild out of the brewed KT. And if

the yeast started clogging up things, I would be cleaning, after reserving a

good amount of it to restart the continuous process.

Like always, save some brewed KT, as much as needed !0% ( more if you can spare

it) and the fresh baby ( new mommy scoby, or a scoby that is strong) and restart

with your favorate tea and sugar solution.

I use Apple cider vinager that is Pasturized to gain an acidic base if I dont

have any starter. And thats the only differance.

If you need help, I will try to share about anything u might need, barring time

doesnt get me first,

Hello Shiela,

Your insight is dead on, the " old world " , being from the new world meathods used

to lose wieght with the use of Kombucha tea call for a longer ferment upward to

14 days (lemon juice comes to mind) a sour drink, taken in the early afternoon,

and evening following meals. When you rach a desired ( I say desired, because

weight loss is a personal thing, and society is insane with " twiggy " ) wieght,

return to a sweeter drink of maybe 7-10 day fermentation.

It could be true that you are at an optimal wieght for your bone and body type,

this I dont know. The important part is how you feel about it, and what you want

to do if anything doesnt meet your approval.
