kb0426 1607 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 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 . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

megmac 539 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 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.

Moluv 1252 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 You may try green or oolong (unflavored) both of which have less caffeine than black- then if you do your pre-steeping you should get it down to an acceptable level. megmac 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
percypat 497 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Sophie, any news? First sip? Converted hubs? _____________________________________________ Waiting til tonight to try (it's morning here).

Susan W 3553 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I have a little news. I can taste the chocolate numi tea now. Yesterday I couldn't. Happy dance and cartwheels. :0) Physibeth and kb0426 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nadia B 2149 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Peach ginger is cool indeed. Adding basil next time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
megmac 539 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 FINALLY! Scooby food is made and on a shelf in the playroom. No problem with warm, since I'm in FL. Let the countdown begin! I will let you know if Earl Grey is a go or not. Nadia B and Derval 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
percypat 497 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Yay, megmac! Photo of Scooby set up please! Tonight is a good night: Just a little tingle of fizz, nothing crazy. Raspberry-vanilla very tasty. Even hubby said "hmm, not bad" after a sip. Derval, Nadia B, kb0426 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
megmac 539 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Okay, seriously? You know how much trouble I had with the set up. The photo piece will likely put me over the edge. kb0426 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

megmac 539 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 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!

percypat 497 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
msssjenna 155 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Ok I am being impatient .. tomorrow is Day 7. How much longer do I have to wait? 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pjena 1624 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 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! Nadia B and percypat 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nadia B 2149 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 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 All are good! megmac 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pjena 1624 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
