Best kombucha channel there is on UA-cam - your videos have helped me so much in the last few months as I have begun my brewing journey - all my questions answered clearly and with easy to follow instructions. Thank you!
i love that! thank you for saying, it means a lot! :D
I agree!!
@@YouBrewKombucha Please give us a ratio of how much kombucha to puree juice. Love your video's. You are my go to girl for Kombucha. Glad you opened up comments.
@@pamelaremme38 based on my eyeballing for this video it seems that she ads 50ml juice and 200ml Kombucha 😁
Welcome back, and thanks for all you have taught me!
thank you for watching! it's good to be back!
I'm so happy to see you posting!
I just started brewing a couple weeks ago and your guides have been so useful! Thanks for sharing these awesome flavor ideas ☺️
Thank you so much. You're a natural teacher!! Blessings to you.
Just re-starting my Kombucha journey. I'm so thankful for your channel, its really the best I've seen in my re-discovery of this beautiful beverage.
Nice to see you're back. Glad to know you are fine.
Yes, I'm doing well! Thank you for asking! I'm actually not a full-time UA-camr, so I actually take breaks from filming/uploading regularly. :)
@@YouBrewKombucha Good! Take care! ^_^
Well get your priorities straight and come back to us! 😉
I started brewing for the FRIST time at 1am this morning. Can't wait to flavor my kombucha...gonna be a long 7-10 days! Thanks for the flavor inspirations 🥰
Nice to see you back. Such an inspirational video. Thank you
I'm enjoying my first brew right now and came to your channel for inspiration. This is lovely! Thank you!
Welcome back!! Have fell in love with your videos during lockdown and have started making my first batch of kombucha
I learned everything I know about making kombucha from you! Thanks for all of these great flavouring ideas - I'm definitely going to try them!
So great to see a new video! Your content has helped me so much
I'm so glad! Thank you for watching!
This is the video I needed! I've started watching your videos in preparation of my first brew. The flavoring is what was holding me up so now I can stop buying a $5 bottle a day, lol.
Glad you're back! Love your videos.
I started my kombucha journey last July, and your videos have been immensely helpful as I’ve refined my Brew. It’s nice to have you back!
Also, your production value has improved!
Thank you for watching! We're definitely upping our game with the production quality so thank you for noticing! :D
Yay!! So glad to you posted again! I just started brewing my own kombucha, first batch was a huge success thanks to your videos!
Thank you so much!
You have helped me so much! I’m glad you are back
thank you so much for this video! it was so useful and inspirational, can't wait to try this at home. and I'm looking forward to seeing your new videos! also, bubbles in the outro are sooo satisfying!
You are back!!! So happy! Greeting from Italy.
I have learned so much from your videos! Iam just getting started and find your videos the most helpful and easiest to do.. this flavoring video is perfect as I am experimenting with flavors...
Thank you and keep the videos coming!!
Glad you're back! This video may have just pushed me over the edge to decide to start brewing!
Do it 😍 it’s absolutely amazing and pretty easy 🥰
Your videos are awesome! Detailed, clear, and so helpful. Thank-you
Your videos were my introduction to Kombucha brewing. I now brew exclusively KombuJoe (fermented cold brew coffee), flavored with homemade simple syrups. Thank you for giving me my start!
This is the best channel for learning about Kombucha. Thanks!
thank you!!
It's so great to see another video, it's been such a painful year, thanks for this
wishing you well. :) thanks so much for watching
I'm so thankful for your channel. At the moment, I'm drinking my first batch of kombucha and I'm so happy with how it turned out. :)
OMG you are baaaack! Great to see ya again... I literally owe my booch life thanks to you and all your informative videos!
Hi from Russia))) It's hard for me to watch you without subtitles, but I'm still glad that you released another video. Thank you so much!
Awesome video presentations & production. You two are an awesome team !
Great ideas, thank you very much!! I have stopped making kombucha, but you 've inspired me to start over again 😊
love it! I definitely took a break from brewing for almost half a year last year so it happens to all of us. :)
This was so informative, I’ve been trying to flavor but didn’t know how. Thanks so much
Great to see a new video. Everything I know about kombucha I learned from you. Thank you for that.
I'm so glad to hear! Thank you for saying. that means a lot :)
Very helpful!Thanks for sharing your kombucha flavoring experiences 🤩!
i just tryed my first batch on mango kombucha while watching this video, thanks for these flavor ideas
Thank you for the wonderful ideas, I have been making my own for a year now and it's because of your video's that I have been successful.
Love it!!
The kombucha queen is back. Yessss! 😁
I am so grateful for you! :) I have been brewing for about 2 years and although I do many things different, I appreciate your videos. My favorite flavor is lavender flower, chamomille leaves and lemon peel with a tiny bit of lemon juice. Sounds gross but is crazy delicious! My everyday go-to is whole blueberries, ginger root and lemon peel. :) I have done a lemon jalepeno and it was awesome as well!
That sounds WONDERFUL actually! :D
Hi Tina, I’d like to try this can you give the exact proportions of these ingredients for flavouring?
@@20eshag.10 I do not do EXACT anything, especially proportions... LOL. That being said, I use 1 sprig of lavender (stems and/or flowers) and a sprig of chamomile, a strip of lemon zest and about 1 tsp of the juice from said lemon... As was stated in the video, lemon juice goes a long way in kombucha. It is mostly to taste with too many variables to say exactly.
Please let me know how you like it. :)
I just started brewing kombucha & Jun. my first bottling was just the fruit juice or pieces to see what I like & what might pair well with each. Your recipes sound pretty dang good! I’ll have to try those next time. Thanks 😊
Nice idea! I'll try that with my next batch. Also, any reason for using lemon peel and not lemon juice?
Inspiring! Thank you. I’m about to begin my first lots of kombucha.
Love to watch yr video n learn a lots of kombucha knowledge . Keep it up💪💪👍
Thank you for some amazing ideas!
I've always been mono-flavouring mine, but I'm starting to think that's a mistake. Cause a simple ginger kombucha was actually not very good, but now that I've paired it with a granny smith apple, it's heaven. Same with citrus flavours like orange or blood orange. I've made both in the past, but they are just gross. Will try to mix some other fruits in there to balance the flavour.
Agreed that passionfruit is a winner! Can't wait to try it with pommegranate. In fact, I bought a bottle for a stew tonight, so on sunday-brewday, I'll use the rest for a brew.
Looking foward for that passion fruit
Welcome back, it's been a while since you posted, I hope you are doing well. Your videos got me into brewing kombucha and I've been doing it for about 8 months now. Thank you for inspiring and informing people to get them to brew this wonderful beverage.
One tip; I use frozen fruit (mostly berries) instead of ice cubes to chill and flavour my kombucha. I also drink some water after a glass of kombucha to save my teeth, I'm old and don't have the best teeth and like my kombucha very sour.
I'm so glad you've found the videos helpful! :)
I tried grapes(red and green)
It had such a beautiful pink colour....and tasted amazing....now it's second to my favourite ginger and passion fruit..m😋😋😋😋😋😋
Love your videos so much, I’m happy your back!!!Where did you get your bottles from?
Very helpful. I'll try all of them.
I missed the new videos! Thank you and I hope you are well.
Thank you for making these videos. I’m new to brewing my own and this really helps. Can you show us where you store your bottles during the second fermentation process?
Thank you for sharing, your video has suggested me new and interesting drinks 😍😍😋😋
I tried whole coffee beans, it works, but definitely an acquired taste :) Welcome back :)
Great ideas, thanks for sharing!
Just tried my Beet juice Kombucha not only does it taste great its good for you !
Thanks for your channel!
Thank you so much!
Awesome video very appreciated 👍🏻
Soooo good to see you
I missed you! You are so awesome!!!!
thank you! it's good to be back!!
I started watching you on my Kombucha journey; then you were gone. I hope you are well 🌱
Love your vids and the new kitchen! Thank you for all the great info. My scoby has been sitting for months. Still ok to use right?
When I was tired of the process, I was making kombucha vinegar. I let it ferment for two months. And the new scobys were enormous 😁
Definitely ok to use them again.
@@irenelykourinou3524 thank you! Our family has been in the middle of the move, but I was sure to store the scobys properly, and I’m ready to start brewing again. Cheers!
Yes! Definitely still OK to use as long as it hasn't dried out and you don't see any signs of mold. I'll actually be posting some videos about taking a break from brewing (and coming back from a break). :)
Great video. Would be possibile in the second step, adding store elder sirup? Even a cheap and not natural one?
Thanks
Great video, thanks a lot 👍🏼👍🏼
That's a lot of juices to be adding. Mine over fizz and foam over if I use more than 2 or 3 spoonfuls of fruit juices.
Thank you for this channel. It is the most helpful Kombucha resource i have ever come across. My small query: Have you ever tried flavoring your Kombucha with guava?
A great video, and channel. Thank you.
Best wishes. I have watched all of your videos.
Great video
Hello. So glad you r back. I love your channel. Very clear intructions and informative. I am building my scoby hotel. Should I wash the use scoby with clean water before putting into the scoby hotel? My scoby has a really brown color.
Thank you!
no need to wash the SCOBY :)
Awesome video.
Really enjoying your videos. I live in an RV so at the moment I don't have room to make Kombucha. Actually its the refrigerator space I don't have. How do you get ginger juice?
woah, I watched all your vids since i start making kombucha almost a month ago, and it's almost weird to see you upload a new vid
I just bought a scoby, eager to start brewing.
I would love to get a link to where you got the plastic measuring pitchers!
Another great video to inspire us to flavour kombucha in small batches as opposed to bigger bottles. More fun! Thank you, you are my go-to source to make kombucha.
this is a great vid, i ran out of ideas after 4 lol
Interesting flavorings.
Have you tried the leaves of the Kaffir Lime tree in your flavorings? a friend told me they refer to this citrus as the #8 because of its double leaf shape.
I tried it in Vietnamese seafood soups. Except I think it might be similar to lemon grass in flavor.
In your opinion, what’s the best kind of tea to use for a ginger, lemonade, kombucha. or a combination of different flavored teas (half green and black tea) ? Thank you!
Hii
Would First Fermentation Of Kombucha Do Well At Temperature around 100* F ..?
Love Your Videos , Planning To Start First Batch Of Kombucha In a Week..
Should I avoid metal tools when handling kompucha liquid or scoby? Thank you!
Yeast likes the sugar in carrots. Good fizz.
Yeah, love that!
Thank you for inspiring us. I tought you add a little bit of sugar, may be half tea spoon, in each 16 oz bottle, to help carbonisation. Do you?
The final bottles are 8oz or 12oz? Where did you get it from?
Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I have a bottle of cherry syrup intended to be mixed with carbonated water to make a soft drink. How much do I use for 2nd fermentation? Thank you!
Started my journey recently - just waiting for my brew to finish so I can get the flavors going! Curious on how long I can keep them in the fridge after flavored if I'm making a huge batch 🤔
I was wondering that too.
Do you strain your purees, can one use frozen fruits, any tips on juicing?
Isn’t it exciting guys?!!!
I’m going to put medlar in mine
Received Scoby as gift from friend in other state. She sent directions, but it didn't come with any starter liquid at all..just what was in the small jar that the scoby came in.. maybe just about a teaspoon.. i brewed a gallon of tea...added the scoby when cooled, and after watching your starter video..i learned that i NEED some started liquid..is it too late? Can i stop by the store on my way home tomorrow afternoon, buy some plain (is there such a "flavor"?) kombucha, and add it to the sitting fermentation?
Super cute! But where do you store all those tiny tiny bottles once they are filled? :D
What brand of bottles do you use? I really like the size.
I am doing my very first batch and I am at day 8 of the first ferment. I took it out to start the second ferment but it smells like vinegar did I do something wrong. Should I flavor it and see what it is like and do the second ferment?
Have you ever experimented with spicy flavors? I've run across a comerically made ginger cayenne, but when trying to make it myself I can't get it just right.
I'm new to kombucha, but decades old to ferments and I wonder does this rule apply...One thing I've learned the hard way, though grandma tried to tell me decades ago (I was a kid. I didn't get it.) Don't dig into your ferments; any ferment; with your fingers. I can still hear her voice yelling 'Get your hand out of that crock'😊 You can possibly introduce organisms that compete with or actually kill the good bugs in the perfect ferment that could have lasted for months. Use a clean utensil; no forking out one piece, sticking that fork full in your mouth and going back in for a second bite.
I have never tried kombucha so I'm intrigued to give it a shot cause I get tired of plain ole sweet tea
Why strain the mother remnants? Is it a personal choice? I always leave mine in for 2nd fermentation and if I'm going to be sharing my brew with others strain it after 2nd fermentation in the bottle. But if they aren't finicky then I tend to just leave it in and drink it as is.
I like your videos..very informative...but I have one comment..why are your dipping the same straw into the batches of kombucha. Won't it contaminate the kombucha?
I literally read all the comments to see if anyone else had the same question?! I feel like it defeats the purpose lol
Do the juices all have to be fresh squeezed? Is it bad if they are store bought in cans or plastic?
Can you tell me about sugar content? Does the fermentation cause it to have lower sugar?
My kombuch, after first ferment, is brown. I'm not sure why yours is so bright and orange? I see lots of kombucha videos where the final product is a very bright, light colour, but mine is always brown from the start. Is it the difference in using black/green tea? or is my initial tea brew too strong?
Have you ever tried kiwi as flavoring for Kombucha?
Is there a way to use banana, or would the texture be impossible to work with?
so if you were only making one flavor, would you just pour that flavor into the pitcher and stir?!? Thank you for all you do. Your videos have helped me SO much.
Yup! Thanks for watching!
