My SCOBY is slowwwwlllly growing larger. I still don’t have any heating system set up and the liquid has been under 64 for most of the time. The air temp in the house has been between 66F and 70F, but my tiles are cold. Here is a video of day 8.
In the past couple of months I have become acquainted with an ancient beverage that is a fermented tea that is alive with a symbiotic culture of bacteria and uncommon yeasts. Apparently people have been drinking this “sweetened tea or tisane that has been fermented using a macroscopic solid mass of microorganisms called a ‘kombucha colony’… since 250 B.C.”. A friend of mine, Johny Justice, has been brewing his own Kombucha using organic ingredients, food grade glass, and aim at making a great tasting tea (strawberry, raspberry, ginger, etc). I have been given several bottles during this time and I found that I enjoyed drinking the beverage and I had good energy after drinking it. I also have had much less heartburn. Other people have reported similar experiences.
I am now attempting to make my first batch. I will put up a post here shortly with how it is going for me and the S.C.O.B.Y. (Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast). Read more…
