is no “right” time to cease the ferment. It’s
up to you! Do you like it sweet? Or sour? If it goes too long and becomes kombucha vinegar, use it in dressings or marinades! Kombucha is healthy and live from the time you inoculate until the time it turns to vinegar so have at it at any time!
you’ve deemed your ‘buch ready for bottling, there will be two SCOBYs : the one that came with the kit, and the newly formed SCOBY that has developed on the surface. Using clean hands, remove these two
SCOBYs and place them in a clean, covered container. Next, remove at least 1 1⁄2 cups of your ‘buch to use as liquid starter in your next batch. Pour the rest of your ‘buch into clos- able bottles. We have sweet 32-oz Amber Glass Growlers in our online Brew Shop—the perfect vessel to protect your home-brewed ‘buch while it mellows post-fermentation!
this point, your adventurous culinary side will be allowed to show off! Add flavoring directly to individual bottles of ‘buch and cap! Use crushed leaves of fresh herbs such as mint, ground or whole spices, purees of fruits, veggie or fruit juices, dried or dehydrated fruits, sliced or grated ginger or other roots. The sky is the limit!
great bubbles, you will want to use something with more sugar—dried fruits or fruit juice for example. If you want a bubbly ‘buch that has a simple flavor profile, throw two or three raisins in the bottle! To get the bubbles going, let the sealed bottles continue to ferment at room temperature for 3–7 days then put them in the fridge and enjoy!
a smoother, non-bubbly brew, put the flavored bottles straight into the fridge after bottling and enjoy at your leisure.
