#kombucha

I saw the other two #kombucha bottles sitting on the bathroom counter as I got ready for bed and was suddenly struck with worry that they would explode overnight, so I took them into the backyard and popped them each open. The fountains that came out put champagne bottles to shame. I also lost the two pop-tops. I shall have to search among the cacti for them in the morning when it is light again.

Oh, wow, #kombucha explosion. An hour or so ago I got up to go try some of the new watermelon second ferment. I'd put a lot of puréed watermelon into the 500 mL flip lid bottle, but I did not anticipate how excited it would get. The kitchen walls and pantry door were pretty easy to wipe down. The ceiling was a bit more annoying, requiring some "magic eraser" elbow work as well. All the clean dishes in the rack above the sink had to be washed again too. <phew> Time to enjoy my beverage.

Another #kombucha processing day, even though I haven't finished drinking all of the previous batch. Today's second ferments were done with the last of my rescue watermelon as well as some of the gazillion excess grapes I picked up last weekend. I haven't tried grapes before, so we'll see how they compare to the watermelon (which so far is my best second ferment material, I think).

It's another chore day, which means kombucha processing (as well as dishes, laundry, and ttrpg podcast tasks). Watermelon was included in the recent rescued produce pickup, so that's the flavor for the second fermentations I set up today. Spent a bit of time with my potato masher and the wedges of watermelon.

Today was another kombucha processing day. The apple butter worked well as a second fermentation flavor last time, so this time I'm trying a bottle with pumpkin butter. The other two flavors I did last time were surprisingly even more delicious. I don't have oranges on hand anymore, but it is prime lemon season here, so I have once again done some bottles with honey, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

I’m pretty excited to have my home brewed #Kombucha up and running again It’s been too long!

This batch has Hibiscus and Ginger/Mint flavors. Yum!!

#Probiotics #GutHealth

Another #kombucha processing day, prepping some for its second #fermentation and getting another batch going for the first. The lemon zest with honey worked well last time, so I set one second ferment with that again. I did another with the zest and juice of an orange. For the third, I used the remnants of a jar of apple butter for the flavoring. We'll see how they all turn out this weekend.

Today was #kombucha processing day. I make my kombucha in a half-gallon pickle jar. (It was cheaper to buy and eat a giant pile of pickles than to buy a big glass.) I rebottled it into 3 half-liter mead bottles with lids that lock into place. Two of them I used berry juice for the second fermentation. The other I decided to experiment on: honey and lemon zest.

This week Little One suggested making a chilli infused #kombucha

They were probably trolling, but the joke's on them because it's actually delicious (for ppl who like hot flavours).

Just tried out a new compote #recipe that is simply rehydrating a mix of dried fruit in #kombucha (or cooled green tea/herbal tea). You cover the tiny pieces of fruit with the liquid in a glass jar and stick it in the fridge for a day. It worked out quite nicely and will ensure I have a mix of fruit topping for my yogurt or oatmeal breakfasts even out of season.

Falls hier mal jemand #Scoby für #Kombucha haben möchte: meiner vermehrt sich so üppig, dass ich immer mal wieder was davon entsorgen muss.

Den würde ich durchaus lieber an Interessierte weitergeben.

Selbstabholung in Berlin SZ, persönliche Übergabe woanders in Berlin ließe sich vielleicht auch einrichten, Versand zur Not gegen Versandkostenerstattung.

Less experimental flavours like ginger lemon #kombucha and pineapple infused kombucha, more reliably a success.

Also delicious, but unsurprisingly so.

Lavender flavoured #kombucha on the other hand, less clear results.

Wondering if it needed more lavender added as the flavour was not really perceptible.

Hibiscus flavoured #kombucha has been a great success.
Gotta brew it again.
