73349 Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 Teaman, this is a homeschooling forum, not a culinary one. While a fair number of us do brew some tea, you're not likely to find a lot of fermentation experts. Sorry. Best wishes in your search. 4 Quote
Selkie Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 I can't decide if Teaman is messing with us or is just confused about what type of forum this is... 2 Quote
ieta_cassiopeia Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 I'm sorry to say I don't know what sort of educational resource would help here. Though I have learned something new today - as a non-tea-drinker, I didn't know it fermented before now... Quote

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 4 minutes ago, Tanaqui said: Isn't kombucha fermented tea? Yes. He was referring to Kombucha. Thus the reference to SCOBY which apparently means "Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast". (And now I've learned my one new thing today from the internet.) 1 Quote

Just goes to show you that you can't believe. what you. read on the internet!!! 1 2 Quote
Tanaqui Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 It's not like any of us were planning to go out today. This is what's passing for entertainment right now. 2 1 Quote

I was watching something on Curiosity Stream today about fermenting to make bread and was looking at trying to do that. https://www.theclevercarrot.com/2019/03/beginner-sourdough-starter-recipe/ Quote
Teaman Posted March 16, 2020 Author Posted March 16, 2020 the fermenting i was talking about was the tea for Kombucha. Sorry about the misunderstood post 1 Quote

Sorry about the misunderstood post You do not need to be sorry!!! This Kombucha looks great! I mean, I only googled it. But I am curious about it. Plus, I think a lot of us are bored today so it is kind of nice to have a new person to introduce us to new things today. Quote
Teaman Posted March 16, 2020 Author Posted March 16, 2020 i have been making it and drinking it for several years. for some reason the SCOBY that i bought just doesn't seem to ferment the tea the way it used too. If you like Kombucha, which is a great antioxidant, it will save you lots of $$. And you can add any flavor to the tea from fruit juices to spicy cayenne or whatever you like Quote
lulalu Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 Have you split the SCOBY? Also, if you have a bottle of kombucha you can form a new scoby from that. You may have killed the scoby. It can happen many different ways. Be sure there isn't mold on the scoby or in the area it is kept. Be sure the room temp is around 70F. Cultures for Health has how to videos. 1 Quote
