- Q: What is a Kombucha SCOBY and how does it work? A: A Kombucha SCOBY, or symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast, is a gelatinous mass that ferments sweetened tea into Kombucha. It contains a variety of beneficial bacteria and yeast that work together to convert sugar into organic acids, resulting in a fizzy, tangy beverage.
- Q: How do I use the Kombucha SCOBY to make my own Kombucha? A: To use your Kombucha SCOBY, brew a batch of sweet tea, allowing it to cool. Add the SCOBY and some starter liquid from a previous batch. Cover the jar with a cloth and let it ferment at room temperature for 7-14 days, depending on your taste preference.
- Q: What should I do if my SCOBY looks different when it arrives? A: It's normal for the SCOBY to have variations in size, texture, and color, as each one is unique. You may notice 'chunks' of yeast and bacteria; this is a sign of a healthy SCOBY. Simply follow the provided care instructions to start your brewing process.
- Q: How often can I use the SCOBY to brew Kombucha? A: You can use your SCOBY to brew Kombucha repeatedly. With each batch, a new baby SCOBY typically forms, allowing you to expand your production over time. Just ensure you follow the proper brewing and care guidelines.
- Q: What are the best storage practices for my Kombucha SCOBY? A: Store your SCOBY in a jar with some starter liquid in a cool, dark place if not in use. Ensure it’s covered with a breathable cloth to prevent contamination. If you need to store it long-term, refrigerate it in a small amount of sweet tea.
