It's okay. There are over 500 posts in this thread. Very hard to pick out the answer you need without a table of contents. :0) We were all nervous nellys at first.

 

Yeah, I think you should add a table of contents Susan.  Once it is done, I will steal it copy it into the first comment ;).

I was actually thinking of printing it all out and highlighting, labeling, obsessing...while I watch Scooby grow.

 

I hope it's not unlucky to name your Scoby before it's born.  Hatched.  Grown. Whatever.

 

KB-I was assembling my receipts (I'm an accountant...I keep all receipts) to return the tea until I remembered something.  I like tea!  LOL.

Waiting til tonight to try (it's morning here).  Promised myself I'd give it two days!

 

It doesn't look very fizzy :(  Probably should have filled the bottles up more!

Just a little tingle of fizz, nothing crazy.  Raspberry-vanilla very tasty.  Even hubby said "hmm, not bad" after a sip.

I don't have any clue about all the photo apps you guys talk about.  If I can take a pic on my ipad and simply attach it, you will see the Scooby snack!  Otherwise I might have to wait for my nephew to show up and work his tech saavy magic.  :)

 

By the way, I drank a bottle of grape last night right before bed and slept fantastically, so I guess it wasn't the caffeine after all that was keeping me up.  Maybe it was booch envy!

I use photobucket.  Nadia put me onto it - before that I was completely photo-on-web illiterate.  But we're all given a limited amount of space here on the site so you can directly attach a few photos :)

Ok I am being impatient .. tomorrow is Day 7.  How much longer do I have to wait? :rolleyes:

 

i also just found out my co-worker also brews his own kombucha.  I told me he could have gave me a scoby!  anyways, he said he lets it sit for 2 weeks before drinking.  blah.

Definitely trying peach ginger basil next time! 

 

I just swapped out a new batch.  Orange flavored starting 2nd ferment, new batch brewing with scoby and baby scoby moved to the hotel with grandma.  Fun!

And I just have to rave that beets kombucha is flipping fantastic. If you are weird enough.

Oh really?  I wouldn't know.  Hubby is anti-Apple so we don't have such things in this house!

 

I would definitely be down with trying beets kombucha!  Do you just roast the beets before they go in?  Any magical pixie dust secrets? :P

Did your son help you out with bottling?  The orange was his idea wasn't it? :)

Orange vanilla creates the most swypo cream soda flavor ever. 

 

As per my posts above (sorry for the broken record peeps) beets - bake them, cut them, add them. Keep couple days in a fridge after straining. Flavors mixed with orange juice I've added. I think a bit of strawberry will be awesome to add. I also love carrots. Carrot+ginger, Carrot+apple and carrot cake pie spices :D All are good!

Yep, my 8yo is helping with the kombucha science experiment and requested orange.  I may have to add a little vanilla - great idea, Nadia!  Blackberry basil will be on my list this summer, too!
