Inaugural Kombucha Brew

Brew started Sunday Jan 2, 2011


Ingredients
  • 1 batch KombuchaKamp organic tea
  • 1 cup KombuchaKamp raw sugar
  • 1 SCOBY from KK


Boiled 4 cups water, disolved sugar, added 8 more cups cold filtered water and added SCOBY


Covered with the supplied cloth and tucked away for safe keeping


Update Sunday Jan 9, 2011

Tapped the brew and tried the raw Kombucha.  Still tasted very sweet, but there was some slight essence of vinegar starting to evolve.  Will let rest for 7 more days.

Picked up case of swing top bottles (brown)


Update Wednesday Jan 12, 2011

Was advised by Hannah to check more frequently.  Tasted again, still a little sweet, but more tang.  Will sample nightly from here on out.

Update Thursday Jan 13, 2011

Time to bottle.  Slightly sweet, acidic, some good sourness going, but in a perfect state.
