Gave me confidence!

I have tried brewing kombucha before. He was sweet, bubbly and raised two new SCOBYs. I was afraid to drink it. I didn't know how it was supposed to taste. If it wasn't safe to drink, how would I know? This kit comes with many guarantees. He had detailed instructions, pH paper, and a thermometer so I could make sure the liquid was at the recommended temperature. My first batch will be ready in a few days. I will start the next batch immediately. Very happy with this product!

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • No instructions

Kombucha Basics

This is my first attempt at making kombucha. My set arrived as promised. I followed the attached recipe and now it's fermenting. When I leave and go to bed I turn the temperature down, so I bought a heating tape and thermostat to keep my cool house at the right temperature. Update in my review. My kombucha has completed its 1 week cycle and tastes great. Some of them lost their effervescence in the store, bought a kombucha bottle which I reused. So I ordered several twist top bottles to keep…

Pros
  • Easy to Use
Cons
  • Nothing Here

Kombucha scoby good for fermenter

First of all there is no instructions in the kit, I watch a few videos on YouTube and choose the best way to make a new scoby. I brought a little over 3 liters to a boil, then turned off the heat and made 6 tea bags in about 7 minutes, the usual time is 5 minutes, the longer the more bitter and added 6 ounces of sugar. I then waited about 4 hours for the tea to cool to room temperature before pouring the tea and staples into a gallon jar 4 hours after I already had tiny bubbles around the top…

Pros
  • sparkles
Cons
  • protection

Good Basics: Fermentation and more

Pros: Temperature sticker works! (I was expecting this to be a trick.) - 1 gallon jar with lid. (Some others didn't.) - A small getting started guide was included. (You won't be missing anything if you don't purchase this product. It's nice to have a quick reference sheet that you can find online.) Cons: - I like to have more than one fabric so I can make consecutive batches of one each time clean cloth. - I wish the 1 gallon jar had notches for the number of cups so I can use the jar instead…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Functionality

The starter kit is missing two things.

I did not purchase the full set which includes the same items as in this set plus thermometer, pH test strips, sugar and tea as I have already purchased tea and sugar from the local grocery store. I have found this to be an error. I ordered pH test strips separately and a few days later I ordered a thermometer. My city has hard water so pH test strips are a must. Finding a spot in my apartment with the best temperature for kombucha is no easy task, so a thermometer is a must. Seller Suggestion:

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Empty

If you want to make your own kombucha, look no further and stock up on the essentials: SCOBY, a jar and a paper towel with an elastic band. The price is fair and the customer service is great. Although my jar had a tiny crack that slowly started to leak when I was making my first kombucha, customer service responded to my email within an hour saying they had sent a replacement. The new box arrived quickly. I couldn't ask for better service. My first kombucha came out strong :) After two weeks…

Pros
  • Complete Set
Cons
  • Quality

At first glance, this seems like a really good deal for a package.

At first glance this looks like a really good deal for a pack of tins and staples and if everything worked it would. Upon arrival, however, Scobie appeared to be dead. This isn't the first time I've made kombucha, but it was the first time I've failed. This clip sank to the bottom of the ship (before that I always saw them float even if they initially sank to the bottom). After 2 days mold appeared on top and I threw the batch away. I have always been very hygienic because I have brewed myself.

Pros
  • I'm crossing my fingers
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

A must have kombucha starter kit!

I'm not a fan of writing product reviews but this set has been such a huge hit for me that I just have to share it with others. Before purchasing it I had no idea how to make kombucha let alone fermentation. It took me over an hour looking through various kombucha kits on Amazon before finally settling on this one. It more than exceeded my expectations. It comes with almost everything you need. The only things I had to buy besides the set were glass bottles for storing "beech", as well as a…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen
