FermentaholicsKombucha SCOBY - Live Starter Culture – Start A Half Gallon Batch – Six Ounces Of Strong Mature Starter Tea - Brew Your Own KombuchaUSDA Organic

I have made my 10th batch now. It was a great starter, I highly recommend. I found the instructions vert clear and written in a simple way. It is a great substitute for shop bought kombucha.

I'm REALLY looking forward to learning how to make my own Kombucha! With this, it should be easier!

It seems very weak. It’s been three weeks since I started my brew. I don’t think it was fresh. Unfortunately, I didn’t check the expiration date.Meanwhile, I got tired of waiting for results, so I created my own scoby in a separate bottle with raw GT’s Synergy kombucha from the grocery store. It has already created a healthy large pellicle, and I am on my second batch of Kombucha.

Bought this because my house is too cool in winter to properly ferment keifer and kombucha. I have it laid flat and just set the jars on the strip for a slight boost in temperature. It's working perfectly!

I am very pleased with this scoby. I've made a couple of batches now since I got it and they have turned out very well. In the past I've made my own but was impatient this time. I'm happy I did. I only make 1/2 gallon at a time and this came very well packaged with plenty of starter tea. I'm not sure of the health benefits in my case but I do love kombucha. I add fresh fruit to the 2nd ferment and get plenty of carbonation. Yum!

Expiration dates can be hit or miss but mine was a hit... 5 months out from when I received it. The pellicle was textbook perfect in size, shape and color. The liquid smelled like a fine champagne.Doubling the recipe on the packaging, I used this on a full gallon in a square 2 gallon container with a spigot. I wrapped this in a seed starting heating mat and, setting the controller to 77 degrees, it took 9 days for the first ferment. As of this review I'm just about completing my second ferment with a full 2 gallons and have developed my own beautiful pellicle in the process which encompassed and absorbed the one from this starter.I couldn't be any happier with this purchase.

It was small but active and I've made several good batches of kombucha.

I used this to start making Kombucha and the directions were concise and it worked wonderfully!
