So, Im from Bulgaria and live in Austria. People in foreign countries dont use the herb Satureja. Neither for food nor to spice up their lifes in general, whilst we Bulgarians love yoghurts and satureja. So going the next step into probiotics to Kombucha was an easy step. I made some following your tip with the 1/4 spoon spice and added Satureja and boy do all my relatives and friends love some carbonated satureja kombucha. thank you so much, just came back to leave a few comments for the algorithm cus youve helped me so much over the past month.

As a "newbie", I've just harvested my 6th batch of "booch and flavoring each batch has been just as exciting as being able to make my own at home. My latest flavoring concoctions came from my rhubarb harvest that I turned into "rhubarb tea". I used a combination of the rhubarb tea and strawberry jam for 2 batches and I plan to use more rhubarb tea with apple cider for the next batch. Here in Alaska, I will soon have a harvest of lingon berries (similar in taste to cranberries) and rose hips that will be used as flavorings in future batches also. As you pointed out this is really simple and fun when you explore the ingredients that are all around you. Thanks for sharing your tips!

In how many days do you guess it will ferment? Everybody makes apple cider veniger in 3 months I also make it in 3 days. I just exract the apple juice and add sugar ground wheat and chickpeas and put it in yoghurt machine in 3 days there will be a layer of mother of veniger on the top which shows I have achieved it

Hi there! Thanks for the question. Sometimes using a mix of green tea and black tea helps with color. Using only green tea will also keep the scoby lighter. My Scobys get dark the older they are. The more batches they have brewed and the more times they have sat in a black tea mixture the darker they get (I have found). I use my scobys 2-3 times before they are repurposed so they tend to stay very light.

Having done an extensive amount of research on brewing kombucha - you are setting people up for failure with a few things in this video..... Don't fill the bottles all the way, you need headspace for the carbonation. Secondly, you should NOT be using mason jars, they aren't rated for the pressure of the kombucha carbonation, and more likely will lead to shattered and exploding jars.
