Do I need any special equipment to make kombucha?

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.

How long does kombucha take to ferment?

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.

Where should I put my kombucha jar while it cultures?

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.

My SCOBY is acting weird. Is it okay?

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).

I've been making kombucha for a while now and have more SCOBYs than I can use. What can I do with the extras?

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!
