Hi

I don't have a recipe, but I have a method I prefer. When you put your kt into

individual bottles, add at least a tsp of grated ginger. Let it 2nd ferment for

just a couple days at room temp first and then put it in cold storage and let it

there for a month. A bottle I just opened was over a year old and I still liked

that taste. It was as good as the first one I tried last fall. I suppose it

becomes " this taste " after a week or two in the fridge. It becomes this taste

and then stays that way.

Tho taste is a totally individual thing, go ahead and taste it before the fridge

and then after you age it for a few weeks. You will see a difference and maybe

you just might like it like I do.

I have posted a copy of Jim Macdonald's Ginger Beer recipe in the files section.

Would love to know if this works with " regular " water kefir grains.

Lyn:

When you make your ginger kombucha does it get fizzy?

My flavor works, but I am looking for the fizz I get with the grains in the

recipe above.

Thanks!

Best,

Marcia, I have had trouble getting into the files page. Would it be any

trouble to send it to me directly?

I have not had fizz in my brew for over a year. But that does not matter much to

me because I never liked the fizz of soda pop. So fizzy booch was just as hard

as soda to me.

Someone is going to send me a scoby to try to get fizz again, so I will try my

ginger with the brew it makes when I get it. But it is really enough for me as

it is now.
