I also started to make vegan jun a few weeks ago! I use agave syrup and a mix of white and green tea. I just feed my kombucha scoby the agave syrup and green and white tea and it turned out fantastic. I love to find out I am not the only one who tried to make vegan jun 👍🏼
Of course thanks for sending me the pic! And yeah I’m sure with even more feedings the SCOBY will become even more jun like. But if you want a head start you can always buy a jun SCOBY
Jun and kombucha collonies are biologically different and you can't turn a kombucha scoby into a jun scoby. This is just a kombucha scoby fed with green tea and maple syrup. You can feed all scobies with different teas and glucose sources to varying degrees of success but this can affect the health of a scoby over time.
Thank you for making the process so clear. I have a funny debut story to my kombucha making. I made green tea and sugar kombucha the first time but it had lots of weird looking bubbles of a matte white color. There was wide controversy on a few Facebook pages over whether it was contaminated or not. So I got another scoby and made black tea a sugar kombucha. I never threw out the questionable green tea kombucha and it actually tasted even better than the black tea one--tgat is, until I let it ferment too long and it made a lovely fruity vinegar. So I don't know whether I should keep it or not. It doesn't seem to make us sick at all and the taste was right... If so, I could just gradually habituate it to honey or maple syrup and have some jun. On the other hand I could do the same with the black tea scoby and it would also take a month...
Oh very interesting! I guess make the one that tastes the best. There aren’t any hard rules on this thing. Make what you love and experiment with new ideas!
I've made kombucha with a different tea every time... the scoby didn't mind. Right now I am making wort from pilsner malt and am going to make kombucha from that. And from what I know, kombucha is not alcoholic. If you bottle it and leave it at room temperature, then it carbonates and becomes alcoholic.
@@TheBruSho is the kombucha scoby interchangeable where you use it to make jun and use green tea and honey and then which back to kombucha with black tea and cane sugar
How about using a Sous Vide probe to heat for brew? Any benefit to holding the steep temp? Also, would it be beneficial to build up a "starter scoby hotel" that you then retrain the unique scoby for Jun or Kombucha or Koffubucha? I brew beer, but getting interested in Kombucha. Still not convinced to jump off into another obsession. Cheers!
Hey Trent, I was thinking about making it even more on a budget, with caramelized sugar and after mixing with the hot tea. But I'm not sure about the flavor and if is going to have any huge difference.
I think that will work, caramelizing the sugar will definitely give you a different flavor but the base of the flavor of green tea is what gives most of the flavor. I’m sure it will taste great but might be a little different
If most recipes call for 1c of honey per gallon, is 50g maple syrup enough in your 1/2 gallon brew? That's a far cry from 170mL...? Love the channel man 👍🏼
Can i just use a ready kombucha scoby for my jun right away, than do you 4 week jun scoby process? I dont think i can wait that long for a jun scoby…lol.
my only question is.... why is honey not vegan? I keep a biblical kosher diet so bees are not food but the honey is not a byproduct like eggs are for chickens, it is just made by bees. im really just curious is all!
Haha that’s a great question. I guess most vegans see it as a by product and choose not to eat it for ethical reasons. But you could totally make this with honey if you want!
@@TheBruSho Buy from local bee keepers, they help the earth by keeping bees, eating the honey is not harming the bees in any way. Also its super healthy!

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me!
I'm just getting into this and appreciate the simple tutorial. Thanks.
Yes I’ve made my own from store purchased kombucha more than once

Sounds very refreshing...I bet that it would be an excellent mixer in a fun cocktail.
Oh wow, now we're talkin! 🍹
Thanks for the mention! Btw, didn't know you could turn Kombucha scoby into Jun scoby, thought it was different things, Pretty cool!
Of course thanks for sending me the pic! And yeah I’m sure with even more feedings the SCOBY will become even more jun like. But if you want a head start you can always buy a jun SCOBY
I'm trying it now. I'll be canceling my subscription to the commercial Jun tea and other hard kombucha companies if it turns out just as good!

Cool stuff, love that you're covering more types of fermentations that just beer. Keep it up!
Thanks man, I love all things fermented so I figured other brewers would too!
Great video with lots of details. Thank you. I will try and share the results.
It would be awesome if you made a video on making the jun/kombucha beer!! 🍻
That's a great suggestion, I might have to give that a try!
Yes please 🙏 🙌
I purée my old It is delicious with olive oil ,vinegar. Honey and Dijon mustard salt and pepper and I make dressing.
I’ve got a gigantic booch scoby, looks like I’ll be training it to a Jun scoby! Great video!
Do it!! And let me know how it goes
@@alexioschaffan Oh cool good to know thanks!

Yes, that's what I discovered on my own, feeling a bit tipsy after my first batch, which my son aptly named KombHoocha!
You have one resilient scoby. Did you name him Diehard? ;)
enjoyed your style of video. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Yum I love kombucha so this sounds amazing! Love how you found another way to use your scoby!
Me too it’s nice to change it up!
Trying the koffucha recipe, too!
@@TheBruSho is the kombucha scoby interchangeable where you use it to make jun and use green tea and honey and then which back to kombucha with black tea and cane sugar
Thanks very helpful! Can you also use black tea to make Jun?
Sure you can. I guess that would be more like regular kombucha tho. But whatever tea you have should work
@@TheBruSho Thanks just did my first Batch :)
I actually am not sure what the difference is between Jun and reg kombucha? Is it alcohol content?
Another great one braj!
Thank you man!
I used honey to train the scoby i think maple syrup would work better!
Interesting. So many possibilities.
Get wild!
Thank you
Wow pamparelax😊👍♥️
Can get jun scoby at Amos Miller Amish organic farm Pennsylvania ❤🙋♀️
Great video thank you! So are all jun scobys just converted kombucha scobys?
Can I use honey instead of the suggestions ones?
How much honey should I add for this recipe?

What store can you buy Jun? Because I’ve never seen it.
Hello 👋🏽 Will agave syrup work instead of maple syrup? Just curious.
For sure! Whatever you want, I guess technically it’s not “Jun” if you don’t use honey but that didn’t stop me haha
Damn and I thought beer was a lengthy process 😅😅 Cool content.
Haha thanks. And yeah but once you got it started it ferments fast!
I make a shrub when my batches ferment too long and get twangy. 😊
have you ever considered making mead?
Yeah I’ve thought about it. Maybe some day in the future!
Very interesting. I hope this isn't a stupid question but can I do this with oolong?
Love it, but real, raw honey is sooooo expensive.
So we can make one with straight up maple syrup or honey as well right?

@@ryebaldy8479 Haven't tryied it yet. I have stoped with the experiments for a while, lot of work right now, but it's still on my plans!
Can you use a kombucha scoby for your jun scoby to make jun or is it only for the kombucha
How do you start the 2nd brew of the Jun tea?
Isn't the point of jun tea fermenting it with honey? Nice guide though I'll try it
Whichever way you want to do it is up to you!

Excellent video Trent ! Please don’t veganize me 😄, cheers 🤙🏼🤙🏼🍻🍻
Haha I’ll try not to!
@@TheBruSho hey Brusho can you make a Juniper Jun for June ?
@@Hellbrews as long as I can watch Juno with my friend June, then why not!
@@TheBruSho I’m totally Junior in the Bucha’s department
How is the Koffucha?
It’s coming along nicely. If you like sweet black coffee you will really like it. But I’m still experimenting. Video coming soon!
is there a way to produce 0% alcohol Jun?
Notification squad!
🎺🎺🎺
I made booch for awhile. Even trained a jun scoby successfully. Threw the whole operation out when i got fruit flies once. Got grossed out i guess.
yeah fruit flies can ruin a batch for sure! pesky little guys
What mean booch?
Slang for Kombucha

Not a fan of kambucha. Probably wont be trying this one. Good job though!
Ha it’s much lighter in flavor and not as acidic. You should try it sometime but I understand if you don’t like it!
You didn't make Jun.
Please explain your point
I'm vegan friendly, I eat your food competitors! You're welcome!
Vegans can’t have honey? 😂
