Kombucha anyone?
Does anyone here make their own kombucha?

I admit, I do like the stuff periodically. I kinda want to make my own. I can read all the blogs I want (and have read several), but curious if anyone has any first-hand experience.

Otherwise... do you like kombucha? What kinds? What do you like about it?

I just bought some because of this thread. It's not terrible but drinking bacteria like this freaks me out.

I don't think it's a cure all. But I'm not opposed to the probiotics, I actually like the flavor, and most importantly, I like making stuff.

Those of you that have brewed your own: Do you do any flavorings, or just the natural kombucha?

Don't make any myself, but regularly buy from the local company Mother Kombucha.

We use fruit to do secondary fermentations. Just make sure to breathe your bottles or they will explode, the residual sugars from some fruits (particularly pineapple) will make for a real gusher if you let it sit too long. We use strawberries, cherries, blueberries, peaches, etc.

I have also used the dregs from sour beers and wild ales for secondary fermentations before and they've usually come off pretty well. You wouldn't think that brettanomyces could affect flavor that quickly (within 5-7 days), but it will dry the vinegary taste out a bit and give it some nice funky, earthy flavor instead.

Got my first batch going last night and a case of flip-top bottles on the way (along with some more good tea for the next batch).

Those of you that brew your own, any teas you particularly like? Or do you do any of your own blends?

You can usually find bottled versions in higher end grocery stores and health stores. Kinda pricy.
All fermented foods have probiotics in them which are good for you—not supposed to be. They're the healthy bacteria help get rid of the bad bacteria. Important to take after taking antibiotics. ( as well as B1)

While some laboratory studies suggest that kombucha tea may have some health benefits (one published in January 2009 in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture investigated potential cholesterol-lowering and antioxidant effects), no human study has been published showing a beneficial effect for kombucha.

I am also concerned about the possibility of contamination in home-brewed kombucha. Some batches contain aspergillus, a toxin-producing fungus. This would be a significant risk for individuals with compromised immune systems, such as those with AIDS or in chemotherapy for cancer. There have been reports in the medical literature of adverse reactions, including nausea, vomiting and headaches, in people drinking more than four ounces of kombucha tea daily.

In 2009, physicians at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles reported a life-threatening case of lactic acidosis (the build-up of lactic acid in the bloodstream faster than it can be removed) and acute kidney failure in a 22-year-old man newly diagnosed with HIV within a few hours of his consuming kombucha tea. Other cases of lactic acidosis and cases of serious liver dysfunction associated with ingestion of kombucha tea have also been reported, along with allergic reactions, jaundice, and head and neck pain. I would particularly caution pregnant women, nursing mothers, the elderly, children and anyone with a compromised immune system against consuming it.

In summary, I know of no kombucha benefits to be gained by drinking this tea.

Just bottled six 16oz bottles - three plain and one each of blueberry, grape, and cherry/lime. Meant to add ginger to the blueberry one, but forgot. Interesting that after 10 days the buch already had a little carbonation without being bottled.

You gotta hand it to Chiefs Planet. Start a thread about some disgusting shit you'd think nobody has ever heard of, and sure enough, there is already a fan following here.

Kombucha is disgusting. It boggles my mind knowing people actually drink this stuff for reasons other than punishment.

My wife drinks the Synergy kombucha. For the price, I damn well should learn to make it.
