## Overview

Cultures for Health’s Certified Organic Kombucha Starter SCOBY is a shelf-stable, heirloom culture that enables unlimited home brewing of probiotic-rich kombucha.

Non-GMO, vegan, and gluten-free, this kit empowers health-conscious millennials to craft authentic, tangy kombucha on their own terms while saving money and reducing waste.

## Description

If you're a fan of soft drinks or sparkling juice but are looking for a healthier option, you've come to the right place. With this starter kombucha mother SCOBY from Cultures for Health, you can ferment your own kombucha drink right at home using black tea or green tea. Our fermenting starter culture DIY kit includes a dehydrated SCOBY and 5 pH strips for monitoring your kombucha as it ferments. Because it's an heirloom culture, it's a fantastic value, because you can reuse it over and over to make as many batches of kombucha as you like! This super food is full of probiotics for digestive health, as well as vitamin A, vitamin C, several B vitamins, and nutritious minerals. While kombucha is fermented sweet tea, the sugar content is to feed the bacteria, so it has a pretty low sugar content. This natural fermentation method is far superior to using instant kombucha powder, for example, as the nutritional content of your probiotic drinks will be much higher. You can drink your kombucha unflavored or easily add flavoring in a second fermentation. For great-tasting treats with gut-healthy probiotics, Cultures For Health is here to get you started.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do I need any special equipment to make kombucha?**
A: You probably already have everything you need at home! All you'll need is a quart-sized glass jar; a thermometer; a coffee filter or tight-weave cloth; a rubber band; a plastic mesh strainer; and measuring cups.

**Q: How long does kombucha take to ferment?**
A: Typically between 7 and 30 days. The initial rehydration batch takes a full 30+ days, but subsequent batches can be shorter depending on the desired taste. (Shorter ferments are sweeter; longer ones, more vinegary.) Generally we recommend 10–20 days.

**Q: Where should I put my kombucha jar while it cultures?**
A: It's crucial that your kombucha is given the proper temperature to ferment successfully (68–85°F). It can culture on your countertop (provided it's at least 4 feet from any other cultures) or in a cupboard. Just make sure it's out of direct sunlight.

**Q: My SCOBY is acting weird. Is it okay?**
A: Many strange symptoms are actually totally fine, even signs of a healthy ferment. Some examples: brown stringy debris; bubbles; culture sank to bottom of jar; SCOBY climbing out of liquid; or cloudy white layer on top (it's a baby SCOBY forming).

**Q: I've been making kombucha for a while now and have more SCOBYs than I can use. What can I do with the extras?**
A: You can always give a SCOBY to a friend (tucked into some starter tea); put it in your compost; feed it to your dog or cat; cut into pieces and dehydrate it as a healthy snack (for you OR your pet); or you can even make SCOBY candy!
