Kombucha Brewing

Ever heard of Kombucha? I hadn't until a blog I follow, Small-Measure, posted about her own Kombucha brewing. Kombucha, pronounced Com-Boo-cha has so many health benefits it's hard to list them all. Here are some links to some websites I found helpful. Check it out and see what you think. Kombucha Fuel Food Renegade (how to grow a S.C.O.B.Y) Food Renegade (Kombucha health benefits)


We've decided to grow our own Kombucha mother rather than purchase one. I started the process last night, it should take about 8 days to brew a batch, from there we'll be drinking this lovely stuff everyday. It's supposed to be 75 degrees for adequate fermenting, since I keep my house at 64 degrees that's not really helpful. I've got them in the oven with the oven light turned on. That keeps the oven at around 78 degrees. We'll see how the fermentation goes!
