Lots of good recipes on You tube. But remember to never use Apple Cider vinegar because it has a different culture. Some people think they have a Kombucha scoby but really have a ACV mother because they look the same.

I am a novice at it so I bought the Dash Yogurt maker & I have to say I LOVE IT!!! (about $35 on sale @ Kohl's, they sell it here as well) I know you can do it on your own, but I feel secure knowing it knows exactly the right temperature & time to get the perfect results for me. The first time out I made a wonderful mistake by staining it (comes with it's own strainer) for way too long, about 12 hours I think & it turned into the most delicious cream cheese. I now am looking for a strainer only so I can have my Greek Yogurt & a cream cheese version on hand at all times. Now to find out more recipes!

The SCOBY is mailed in a non-refrigerated package so you should have no issues with temperature. I believe the shelf life of a scoby that isnt producing Kombucha is like 6 weeks or so.

Hi Lulu-No but you can go on line and get many different recipes. I do have an old family recipe that I would share if you are interested. It is short and simple. just send me your e-mail address

Dude, sorry for that. I haven't cooked once, just soaked in water for one night and it started to rust. It's an awful awful wok, I have returned it.

Its completely normal! Kombucha, depending on how warm it is, will ferment at different rates. Just keep taste testing it until it has an acidic flavor sort of like wine. The mixture will get cloudy, a mushroom will grow on the top and strings will grow down from the mushroom. Its all normal and signs of a healthy scoby!

I put my scoby into a large glass jar and a second scoby grew during the three week brewing time. I'm on my third batch now and I don't think that the original scoby has not gotten any larger.

There is a recipe in their cookbook for one that uses a box mix. I haven't tried it yet.

The scoby will grow a new baby scoby and they tend to grow into the shape of the container its in, heat is not a friend to kombucha at all, need a cool, not cold place to let it brew.

I love it too! Unfortunately it doesn't have any actual tea leaves in it, so you'd have to blend it with something that does. I make it with the tazo passion "tea" mixed with a green tea that has mango. It turns out great every time. The passion "tea" will dye your scoby, but I haven't noticed this to be detrimental.

Sorry Barbara, I gave my copy of the recipe book (came with my new pressure cooker) to my daughter-in-law, along with my old 20 yr old Nordic pressure cooker. I'm sure if you contact the Nordic people they will send you one.You can get a new sealing ring through them so I hope you are lucky on the book.Sheila.

You will need a brewing vessel for this kit. The instructions that come with your SCOBY are for 1 Gallon of Kombucha, so I'd recommend a container of, at least, that volume. Also, the SCOBY I received was about 4 inches in diameter so you might want to make sure your brew vessel will accommodate a SCOBY of that size! Glass or ceramic brewing vessels are recommended. No stainless steel or plastic! Visit his website at GetKombucha.com because he's got all the answers you need there. Happy brewing!

I e-mailed the distributor and explained the problem of having something that I couldn't use and they e-mailed me not only the directions but recipes. It's easy to use once you know what you have. Hope you have as much success as I did. I use it very often and really like the convenience and the fact that it doesn't heat up my kitchen. I live on the desert so hate anything that adds heat. Good luck

Use wide mouth quart jars. The pickles turned out great. We adjusted the salt and garlic a little. We also made kimchi. Liked it as well. Haven't tried anything else yet.

Yay! I hope you like it as much as I do. Plan on getting used to it for a few days. Add things like banana and peanut butter, or blueberries, at first so that you get used to the flavor. Enjoy!

adjust to your own preference. start with about 1/2 cup. i usually add some ice chips too. sometimes use skim milk, or almond drink. it mixes up easily. i like mine thicker, and eat it with a tablespoon! quite good in blender with fruit too. hope u like it!
