Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 I have a good culture going actually a couple of good cultures... I would say get a bottle of GT or another Commercial brand if you can not wait for one to be sent to you. pour it into a wider mouth jar if you get Synergy GT KT then just pour or drink off 1/4 and cover with paper towel and rubber band then let it stand in a dark warm place of about 2 weeks and you will have a scoby take that out or pour it into a new mixture of Blacktea/Greentea mix with the sugar and vinegar this will begin your culture. Or just ask and you shall recieve. ccscu15 wrote: Hi all. This is my first post as a newbie to the group. I just heard of KT a week ago and am very impressed with the possibilities and health benefits. I have found several sites offering numerous tea recipes using an existing culture, but I would like to start my own from scratch. Does anyone have a recipe/directions for starting the mother Kombucha culture... someone has to start them somehow. Or can anyone recommend a good source to obtain one. Anxious to get brewing!

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Hi , Actually I just purchased a bottle of GT and one of Synergy yesterday at our local store. I wanted to taste the tea and had heard you could start a culture from the drinks, but did not know if I needed to add anything to it or not. So, if I'm understanding you correctly, all I have to do is take some of the commercial tea, cover and let stand in a warm dark place and in a fee weeks I'll have my own " mother " culture to use in my brewing? Thank you so much. I have searched the web for 3 days and read numerous websites, but none offered this information. Thanks for your help, Celeste > Hi all.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 I did not understand it myself when someone told me to do that so I did. I grew a nice white thick scoby and I have it in my scoby collection wrote: I would say get a bottle of GT or another Commercial brand if you can not wait for one to be sent to you. pour it into a wider mouth jar if you get Synergy GT KT then just pour or drink off 1/4 and cover with paper towel and rubber band then let it stand in a dark warm place of about 2 weeks and you will have a scoby *** Wait!

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi Celeste, and EveryOne, Be sure that the Kombucha tea you are using to make a new Kombucha Colony has not been pasteurized or chemically altered in any way. It must be just plain, living, unadulterated Kombucha tea.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I'm more than willing to ship anywhere in the US and Canada. I have several scobys now. I ship my store items every day so it's no bother to me at all. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Re: Scoby Culture > Hi Celest and welcome to the group! First we need to know where you live.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Yes, I meant to emphasize also that it should be plain, no flavorings or additives. --V >Hi Celeste, and EveryOne, > >Be sure that the Kombucha tea you are using to make a new Kombucha >Colony has not been pasteurized or chemically altered in any way.
