How to Brew Your Own Kombucha with Brad | It’s Alive | Bon Appetit

Homebrew Kombucha
In episode 1 of ‘It’s Alive’ with Bon Appétit test kitchen manager Brad Leone, we follow him through his process of brewing his own kombucha. Main takeaways include: be creative, keep your SCOBY clean, take care of her, feed her, and use food-grade bottles to avoid glass explosions. It’s a learning experience.

Update: Brad now uses a concentrated formula that doesn’t require ice. He mixes 2 quarts of water with sugar and tea. Then dilutes it with room-temperature water.

Join Bon Appétit test kitchen manager, Brad Leone, on a wild, roundabout and marginally scientific adventure exploring fermented foods and more. From cultured butter and kombucha, to kimchi and miso, to beer and tepache, learn how to make fermented and live foods yourself.
