I'm new to kombucha making. Awesome video
Thank you for watching! And let me know if you have any questions about brewing!
I would try the watermelon juice and simple syrup but would add hibiscus tea to it. I think that would balance out both the watermelon flavour and the flavour of the hibiscus. Or a hibiscus tea kombucha then use the watermelon juice and simple syrup
Hi! Can I do this with home-grown red Thompson table grapes? They are not wine grapes, I know...but I have a lot of them and was thinking maybe it would ferment into a grape soda-like beverage:) What do you think?
I'm sure they would work great! I've made a few batches where I use grape juice in my second fermentation, along with some simple syrup, and the flavor has always carried through clearly. Grapes usually have a lot of acid, though, so I think that simple syrup is needed to help balance it out. I would say it probably won't taste like grape soda, though! That artificial taste is pretty specific (and, from what I've read, not a flavor found in any grape). I've had to use flavoring packets (like Kool-Aid) or extracts to accurately copy a grape soda. Let me know how it goes, though! Good luck!
I'll be trying some new coffee experiments out soon. Just let me know if you have any ideas to try out!
Banana kombucha...put a few slices of freeze dried banana in the second ferment. Done.
Is it really that easy? :D I wasted so much time juicing....
I love the Peach Rooibos Herbal Tea, Great Value brand from Wal Mart and I make a coffee one, BUT AND THIS IS A BIG BUT, I use them in first ferment and they work fine.
Love you experiments.
Peach rooibos sounds wonderful! I'll have to keep an eye out for it! Do you use it by itself in the first ferment, or paired with any black tea?
I love kombucha made with coffee. MY first batch I used sweet coffee, a kombucha scoby and a kombucha starter. Love it.
I still have yet to try coffee in my primary fermentation! Any tips? I would love to attempt it myself!
Last night, I looked on TH-cam for flavorings for my freshly fermented coffee Kombucha. Your six recipes are perfect. Thanks so much. I used a tea scoby and 2 cups of coffee grounds to make my first batch of coffee kombucha. After a week, I have a coffee scoby for my next batch. Other channels suggest using a thick scoby to get the best batch. At this point, I'll try your recipes for the 2nd fermentation.😊
looking up info to get started. found you from reddit. gonna check out more vids. thank you!
Thank you so much for watching! Let me know if you have any questions about anything!
Just as a note from the future: I did prefer using plain kombucha bottled with 1-2 hops pellets. It offered a lot more depth, it was hoppy without overpowering the rest, and it still somehow offered more apple cider flavor than with using actual apple juice.
When you do three stage fermentation, what vessel do you use for the flavoring stage?
For a three-stage, I've done flavoring both in the 450ml bottles and in the full 1-gallon fermenting. Both have worked great! If they're all sharing the same flavor, I generally flavor it directly in the 1-gallon. But using the individual bottles lets you be a little more precise (and it fits into my fridge a lot easier).
Great channel, great tutorials on flavoring kombucha, which I don't think people usually get into on TH-cam with the surgical accuracy you do. Definitely wanna try the caramelized banana. Keep it up!
Thank you so much for watching! I know a few others have tried the caramelized banana now, and liked it well enough. It could definitely be refined, though. It's one I'll come back and focus on someday, to try and improve or simplify. I've got a few ideas.
Really nice video and advices, I’m starting o get into kombucha brewing, I like natural flavoring but getting no carbonation when second fermentating for 4-5 days and adding 5g of sugar.
I generally make plain bottles, too, and I've noticed they're a lot trickier to carbonate: it takes them longer and they're very sensitive to the amount of sugar. But here are some ideas you might try: 1) You could let a bottle go for longer, something like 8-10 days, and see if that improves anything (kind of like what I did with the lime juice). 2) It could be temperature holding them back. I keep my plain bottles on a heating pad in an enclosed case. But, before I bought all that, my bottles took twice as long to carbonate. 3) If you're filling the bottles to about 1" from the lid already, then it could be that the bottle isn't sealing fully. I've used some Amazon flip-tops in the past that wouldn't fully seal, and ended up needing to buy new bottles. Let me know how it goes, though, because there's certainly more we could look at. And, in my opinion, carbonation is the toughest part of making good kombucha. Even with a heating pad, it can change with every flavoring, every batch, every season, every bottle. It keeps you on your toes.
@@RecklessBooch I’ll try that, temperature is good and kinda stable at my place, 25-30C, when I bottle it a ton of bubbles form immediately, just not when consuming it. I’ll try letting it ferment longer. Also, I’m using a Continuous brewing setup, 1 gallon, I usually remove 1/3 of gallon every 4 days and refill.
Dude! I thought you were going to make Kombucha that tasted like the sodas .. hahha
I did just that this past week! It was only Cola and Root Beer but (spoilers), they were dead on this time! The video should be out next, so look out!
Great video, Thanks
Thank you very much for watching!
How does this only have 70 views?!?!?
How did this get into double-digit views?!!
Honestly this should've gotten into the triple digits @RecklessBooch
82 now !
Thanks for trying this so I don't have to 😂.
I've actually found another way that works great, and is almost as simple. The video should be out soon! Thanks for watching!
