This is a how to guide on making your very own kombucha from home! Everything referenced below is using our at-home SCOBY Kit which you can purchase here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1 – PH Check<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You have determined that the 1st fermentation process is done, the SCOBY is formed, kombucha is approximately 2.7-3.0 PH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2 – Moving SCOBY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start another SCOBY Hotel, we do this by removing one of the scobys from the original to a new glass container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 3 – Add ‘Em Up!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next, we add 10% (about 2-3 cups) of starter from original to a new glass container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 4 – Try Different Teas in Your Batches!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start two new batches, in this picture I am starting more green tea in one container and black Oolong tea in another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember each container has 10% starter left for next batch. You can add herbal teas, blend greens, blacks, or white teas- the sky is the limit. We like Roobius or Jasmine the best, yum!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5 – The Second Fermentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 2nd fermentation process begins, we add the rest of the 1st fermented kombucha to a glass container, then we will seal with a lid. In this picture below, an FTC growler is being used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 6 – Something Sweet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Prepare the contents for the 2nd fermentation. We are looking to add sugar (glucose) to flavor and create bubbles (co2) to the 2nd fermentation batch. Experiment with different flavors- vanilla bean, candied ginger, apples etc\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 7 – Leave Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Add ingredients and kombucha to the 2nd fermentation container. Leave some space at the top for co2 to accumulate. In this picture, I had to dump some out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 8 – Burp It! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now, we add the lid (cap) to the container, find a warm dark space for second fermentation. **IMPORTANT
release pressure (burp) every couple of days.**<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 9 – The Sign It’s Ready to Drink<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You will know when you concoction is ready when its plenty fizzy when pressure is relieved. Drink up, yum!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
