Kosmic Kitchen: Kombucha, all day everyday!

Several bottles of my Kombucha waiting to be consumed!!

I know I have posted a ton on Kombucha but I thought I'd keep up with my updating along my brewing process. I have had bottled over 5 batches now and I have perfected my routine. I use a continuous brew cycle and store extra SCOBYs in the fridge. I bottle my batch every 5 days and let sit for three while flavoring or adding to the double fermentation process. Then I refrigerate and consume! I always taste my Kombucha brew at 5 days and check the carbonation. It its not too sweet and not too sour and has some fizz to it I bottle right away. Once I bottle I place the batch in a cardboard box and "burp" each bottle at least once or twice a day because while it is sitting it is still fermenting and getting more carbonated and these glass bottles could potentially explode. About once a week a make 2.5 gallons of the tea and sugar mix and store it in the fridge and bring it out when I am ready to replace the what I used up bottling. This makes brewing alot easier and quicker. Once I have consumed a bottle of Kombucha, (usually drink 2-3 a day) I put the bottles and in a cardboard box and sterilize them when I am making the tea mixture. I always have bottles ready to bottle and a tea mixture ready to add (not too mention I have a cycle of bottles fermenting in cardboard boxes as well). MMMMMM sooo good and so healthy!!
