  • There must be a way to do this without commercial kombucha.

  • The only other way I know is to get a buddy to send you one.  I'm not currently brewing, but an ad on craigslist will probably root one up.

  • dont use tea bags, use fresh tea. Use organic sugar. How do you make a culture if you dont have a kombucha culture to start a fresh batch off. I lost my culture due to neglect and mold, and have to start a new one. How do i do this without the cultures

  • If you buy a bottle of commercial kombucha tea, you can mix it with an equal amount of sweet tea and let it form a new mushroom. Takes about four weeks.

  • Hey David nice vid, thank you,I brew Kefir but have ordered a mother culture of Kombucha,Im curious if the mother culture that you put in a seperate mason jar was also filled with the sugar/tea mix or just left alone?, if it was left do you ever feed it again?, thanks!!

  • I preserve the extra 'shroom in a little bit strong kombucha vinegar. I keep one or two extra handy, in case my brew goes bad. Every time you brew a pot, you get another one, so you've got plenty to give to friends or add to the compost heap.

  • you're suppose to drink it

  • Hey can someone tell me what your suposed to do with this stuff?.I have never seen this before!,thanks.....

  • David..weres the 'behind the scenes' video?

    I knew that was going to go up in flames!

    and I want to see the part were you pour the HOT tea into that non-pyrex container..that must have been a blast..lol...luckly you were able to find another jar the same..you da Man!

    excellent instrutional video as usual!

  • It it gets moldy (fungus), it's bad and you should discard it. A mature komucha is mold resistant.

  • EPIDEMIC !! It is the newest trend

    The mixture of sugar, tea, room temperature, and yeast/bacteria provides an ideal breeding ground for many micro-organisms (some pathogenic) and airborne fungi.

  • did you know  there is a kambucha exchange on the internet? you can list yourself there, and others in your town will contact you.:)

  • good video - rocks
