Started my first koffucha ferment today, coincidentally. Just 2 cups' worth of sweetened coffee along with kombucha starter and a SCOBY. Thanks for the tip about tasting it daily. I shall do just that! Thanks, also, for the tip about exploding bottles. Memo to myself: do not use caramel in any of my brews.

Now, Liz, this is interesting. You are always fun! Blessings.

Loved the cavier story Liz, it's so funny how we can acquire a taste without constantly trying. The Koffucha sounds cool except the exploding bit! Fully enjoyed and have a wonderful new week :)

If you're now wondering do people mistake me for Jennifer Lopez my humble answer is YES. I have an innate ability to break out in random song and dance. It's a gift the universe has blessed me with. I can't explain it. Thanks for watching. Also, what do you think of my new editing skills? I upgraded. Woot woot!

I still want to try this. I almost made it a month ago but that's when I was having water issues. Now I'm feeling fired up again lol. The basil flavoring was really good. Actually better than I expected but it didn't bubble up the way it does with fruit.

Glad you liked the Brewch flavoring. Very tasty. Sorry you didn't get the bubbles you like though. I found a way to tone down the koffucha it's on of the next 2 video's I film but I'll tell you now in case you wanna try it. So instead of using the SCOBY just use starter tea. I've found this koffucha taste more like coffee. Using the SCOBY taste more like kombucha. Please let me know how it goes.

@@KombuchaLiz Thank you. This is very helpful because I'm not sure how I'm going to like it.

I LOVE coffee, in a very serious way. I drink it hot and black, and I KNOW I'm exceeding the daily suggested serving size! I'll probably avoid learning another way to drink even more coffee. I also love coffee flavored stouts though, so maybe I'd better give Koffucha a try anyway just in case. I appears that you love coffee too Liz, and maybe have a lower tolerance to caffeine than some of us.................you were amped in this video! Very entertaining though. :D

Haha. This was a funny video to record. I actually stopped drinking coffee a little over a year ago. The caffeine was too much for me. Even decaf was. So now in the morning I drink decaf tea. I can drink kombucha and I have a little coffee kombucha once in a while. I guess my system needs a rest. Give the koffucha a try if you're up for it. It's a very different flavor. Just don't expect it be taste like coffee. Be open to it and try not to judge. Ha! Solid wisdom for all areas of life. :) I'm glad you are here. You have a fun personality. Cheers!

Congrats on1K!!! 🎈🎈🎈 So funny it was a year ago this month when I made my first batch which I still have. I wanted to make more but couldn't remember how lol. Has your intuition been tingling? I've been thinking about you for the last 4 days lol.

Hey my girl ❤💜💖 good to hear from you. Congrats on 1 year making booch! Yeah I hit 1k!!! 2 years to get there but Really that part doesn't matter. Its been a fun journey and I'm looking forward to the future

Hi Liz, I have been making three different kinds of Booch and coffee is one of them. I have not noticed it being ready any faster than my regular Booch but my Jun take like no time at all. I only tried a second ferment once and didn't really notice a difference, so I bottle mine and straight into the fridge. I have noticed that it is tasting a little different, so maybe I need a new SCOBY. Thanks for all you do.

Hey there, Ken. That is interesting. Thanks for sharing. So just curious how long does your coffee kombucha ferment? Mine usually don't go past 5 days while my kombucha is more like 12-13. I've been thinking of trying Jun. Did you buy a Jun SCOBY or just convert a kombucha one? Thank you for that last comment. I appreciate you.

You are definitely missing out. It's good that you can acknowledge that. :) Koffucha is actually a cold drink. Why don't you drink anything hot? Just don't like it or does it interfere with spending time with your emotions. Kidding. I'm just kidding.

Hello. Can you tell me more about the SCOBY you used? Did you take it from the fridge and put right into the coffee? When was the last time fed your hotel?

Liz, I 'am new to making kombucha. When I used to buy from store I could drink a whole bottle but with mine home brew I get bad Headache . Is there any thing I can do different to solve this because I love kombucha. My brews do take a long time to ferment, and they form nice scobys. Thanks Patty

Hi Patty. Sorry you're having I this problem. Some commercial brands filter out the yeast to make it look less cloudy (more appealing to consumers) which also filters out the good stuff like vitamins. Your headaches could be a detox symptoms? Maybe try drinking less for a week while your body goes through detox or mix it with some seltzer water so it's not that strong

i try the first batch, its already more than a week and the taste is good but I wonder why there is no scoby form inside the jar? can I still drink it or wait until a formed scoby seen.

Hello. You can drink it now. Typically you won't get a 'normal' SCOBY when making coffee kombucha. You may see a tiny thin layer. I'd bottle it up. Glad it is tasting good for you. How will you do the F2?

I wouldnt think xylitol would work for kombucha. Yes it would sweeten the tea but the reason xylitol is used in Dentyne gum is because the acid causing bacteria in your mouth can't process it and starve thus it is helpful in preventing tooth decay. I would think the same would be true for your SCOBY.

@KombuchaLiz

4 жыл бұрын

Yeah I agree. AT the time I used the xylitol I was doing keto and just wanted a way to sweeten the koffucha.

@@KombuchaLiz Ah, I understand. That makes sense. My sister has been trying to follow the keto diet. Personally I dont really watch what I eat. Kombucha is probably the the healthiest thing I consume right now. Maybe that would be a good future topic for you: How people who hate "health food" can make healthier food choices! Lol In the past I have found if I want to lose weight the most effective "diet" for me is just limiting my caloric intake because I seriously cant stand the taste of most vegetables.
