@TriniLightLove yes the boiling water kills the culture and the goodness that you can get from it.

What I don't understand is if a dried version in a tea such as yogi tea would work? if it is a live culture, won't the boiling water kill the kombucha? Thanks :)

@BeYourPotential I found out how to infuse fruit in it just leave it cut up overnight in the kombucha. According to a hubpages link I found.

I hope I can get a quick answer on this one! I'm now having 3 liters of kombucha fermenting, but I'm confused as to whether I should have used 1,5 cups of apple-cider vinegar instead of 3 tablespoons as said in the instructions I got with my culture. What is your guess? Thanks!

@adamal93 The kombucha will brew quicker the more you add and will change the taste. It will be quite strong, but will be fine. 3 tablespons for 3 litres seems like to little to me and will take longer to brew. i would say at least 50ml per litre. There is an art to it and you will find your own best way after a couple of months of brewing. It's like cooking, 2 people will follow the exact same recipe and each meal might taste completely different. Your energy is transferred into it.

Hi Matthew! I received my Kombucha today from HarmonikIreland. Unfortunately, it was left in my mailbox in approximately -10*C for some time. I'm afraid it could have damaged my culture. I'm not sure if it was frozen at the time I got it, but if I'll try, should I use the starter tea (if we assume it's been frozen) or the apple-cider vinegar?

@adamal93 Hi Adam, Normally it's not good to freeze the Kombucha Cultures, because they can starve to death. But if it was only for a few days, I think it will be ok. When brewing the Kombucha tea, keep the culture in a warm dry place with a clean cloth over the top. I think the starter tea should also be fine. You will know if there are any problems because the culture will mould. If this happens throw it away, clean your bowl & get a new culture.

Nice video.
Questions: After the 8 days or so when it is ready and I am drinking it daily, where do I put it? Does it stay out? Do I refrigerate it? Do I add more water as I drink it, so as to replenish my supply? Or do I need to create a new batch each time? Will the culture disappear?or grow?
Thanks.

@geodepe Bottle it in glass bottles. You can refrigerate if you want to keep it along time but it will be fine for a few months at room temp. There is no need to add more water, just bottle it when it is ready and make a new batch to keep you going. the culture will grow and create a new one every time you brew! : )
