Lol meg. It is so weird isn't it?

Oh yeah...look at her expertise.

This will be your smooth and round kid who lives on top of the sea. Nah...related to Frank? It will be up to no good. :0)

Gingerade ingredients on GT bottle are just ginger and kombucha. I have never been able to replicate it but like my hibiscus, I think the dried ginger is much different than the fresh. You can also use candied which would add to the fizz but I have not tried that..especially while on W30.

Oh the headache..I think she just wanted a cut and dried "no" that I couldn't try to persuade her out of. She's a sneaky dickens who knows me well.

Sophie, isn't it weird how some are way fizzier and there doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason for it. My daughter is the same. Huge GT fan but she doesn't really drink my homemade. She claims it gives her a headache..???

Meg, it took me a little time to be able to log in with it so nice job!!

Lol Derval. When people ask me what it stands for, they shudder when I get to the bacteria part. Foolish, foolish people. Then I have to roll into my good bacteria elevator speech.

I couldnt resist trying my hibiscus and dried ginger that KK sent me so I took a plain bottle from the fridge and put 1/2 tsp of each. Oh my..hibiscus is amazing. Also..maybe because of third ferment overnight, fizzy like Mt. St Helens. The color after just 24 hours is amazing.

Probably not available for Android yet.

Mo, do you have an iphone? When I go to playstore, I only see the tapatalk community reader which I have and tapatalk that comes in colors (which the screenshot of looks very annoying) but they are all 2.99. I dont see anything that is 3.99. Maybe Tapatalk 2 is just for iphone?

Sophie I noticed when I use frozen mango, it didnt taste mango. When I used a fresh very ripe one, it was amazing. I did fill the bottle about 15% with the mango which I had smashed into a puree.

Lizz those teas look amazing. I love the names.

Michele I think I have the first tapatalk that was available to us. No compass pointing Northeast. I just have reply, quote, edit and share. I may have to look into tapatalk 2.

Nadia they arent so much grainy as icy. Its not the texture but the sour flavor. I used a pretty much plain booch. Maybe it would be better with some fruit flavor. Olivia loved it. It made her tongue double in size...slurp slurp.

Well someone likes the boochpops. Blech.

I dont remember paying anything for mine but that means nothing. I just looked and there are pink red and blue ones now. Mine is the old community reader and of course now I want to see what the difference is.

I use the one for android. I think there was only one choice for my phone. Not positive but I think iphone had 2 choices?

Yes I think peeling them is a good idea. I saw something today that jumped out at me at the store but I dont remember what it was. FIGS!! I was intrigued by that idea. Maybe fig and dried ginger. It says on the package of ginger and hibiscus that I should use 1/2 tsp per 16oz. Such a tiny bit. I'll have to see.

Oh yes meg. I know what you mean. I always grab my old lady reading glasses before opening tapatalk. Do you use tapatalk? Makes the site very phone friendly. You can't "like" posts from it though. Or edit a post.

Kombuchakamp had to replace my heatstrip twice. They felt badly so they sent me two little gifts. One small bag of organic dried ginger and one small bag of organic hibiscus. Cant wait to use them with this next batch. How fun!!

Nadia is correct. It will grow back and fill in again. I'm safe over here on Nadia's continent. :0)

Kb...I just got rid of my internet and increased my data on my phone. Also dropped down to economy tv package...sigh..no more Bravo. You gave me the nerve to do this. :0)

My experiment. It's going to be 82 here today so figured I would try boochcicles. :0)

Yes after it cools down to room temp so everbody is the same or close to same temp.
