KT from Commercial Kombucha

[Guest guest]

I have been through the files and can't find any specifics on how to use GT's

Kombucha to develop a SCOBY. Could someone give me some guidance? Thanks,

Here is a links to a You Tube video showing how it's done.

, be sure to get GT's " original " raw, unflavored kombucha, not the

" enlightened " version (which was changed after the alcohol scare). Some stores

keep it in a separate cooler with a sign that you have to be 21 to purchase.

Hi Vicki - I used raw, unflavored " original " GT kombucha - however, it also says

" enlightened " on the label.  Hope it'll work.  Thanks,

Mine said " enlightened " as well. I only know of two places who sell

this and that's all they have. My brew turned out fine.

Cover it with a cloth that allows air to pas (Viva paper towel for exemple)

retain the paper towel with an elastic on a wide mouth jar (mason jar) and

forget it for a while .. It will make a SCOBY eventually could take days or

could take several weeks .. Depends but it will always make a SCOBY

Timely topic.

Bill,you said you had good results.Does that mean it will develop (with proper

care) a healthy scoby that can be replicated?

I ask that because when I went to brew a new batch,my scoby had developed what

appears to be mold pockets on the surface.That has me more than a little

concerned.I have tried to source a scoby here in the Philippines to no avail.I

could however get a bottle of GT's with the next family member who comes to

visit.

Very interested to hear if this is a reliable method of growing a replacement

scoby.I am wuite sure that it would,but it would just take a little longer to

brew up.

Best!

Thanks Lori - yes, it turned into quite the " quest " , trying to find some.  The

GT website sent me on numerous wild goose chases before I finally lucked out! 

Cheers,

The GT website didn't even list the two stores which do sell it. It

said there was none in my area.
