Making Kombucha

"The conscious mind is the least informed and the last to know" by someone famous.

 I made up another lot of Kombucha last night and tonight, I have big thick scoby's everywhere, and about 30 used teabags ready for the chooks tomorrow.

Since I have loads of scobies now, can't believe how quickly they multiplied, anyway, since I have heaps, I have a bottle with just spare scoby's in case someone wants any... and have started to experiment making all an sundry concoctions.

I also broke a scoby into small pieces, and added it to a brew, just to see if it takes longer or the same to finish brewing...

I've had a couple of brews using a smoky tasting tea, I don't think much of the resulting Kombucha, although it might be alright if I flavour it with the same spices as I would use for chai tea... sort of a savory drink just for something different.

I have a couple of plastic lemonade bottles, I will use as "bloody awful, can't fix it" Kombucha, I'll leave an old scoby in there, and let it brew right on until it is vinegar, and will use it for cleaner, I cleaned the stove top really nicely last week with some booch that I spilt.... so I might end up with a chai tea cleaning vinegar yet lol....

Drinking Kombucha is really helping with all sorts of physical ailments, things I don't think about generally... like hair has stopped falling out, and is turning back to grey rather than white. brilliant for reflux, and making sweet foods, and anything with milk not as nice as it was, I'm drinking about a 1/3 of the milk, I was drinking a month ago. Best of all though, its keeping me sane at this difficult time, its sure hitting my depression for a sixer, hitting it right out of the playing field... I can be feeling quite down first thing in the morning, drink about 1/2 glass first thing in morning, and depression lifts within 30 minutes.

That suits me lol... and no nasty side effects, smile emoticon This stuff needs to be made commercially, have thought how a milk tank from a dairy farm would work well... even entertained the idea, since most farms around here are drying off their herds for winter, of getting a farmer to let me use their tank lol.... but still why stop there, a milk tanker truck would be the go, I don't remember how many thousand litres a truck ad trailer hold, but could make a massive brew of Kombucha in one of those.... me and my hairbrained schemes lmao....
