KOMBUCHA Part2 The Second Fermentation & Flavoring

Last week we walked through the First Fermentation process. That video can be found here: https://youtu.be/hbsEdE8yv9U

This video walks through the Second Fermentation as well as flavorings.

Just remember, you'll want to save 1 cup per gallon of the raw kombucha to make your next batch....and remove the SCOBY(s) saving one for your next batch. Then you are ready to begin....

Since I'm making 7.5 gallons, I'm using 30 quart jars. You'll want to fill 1/4/-1/3 cup of juice (without added sugars or unnecessary/unhealthy ingredients) in each jar. Then fill to the top with raw kombucha. This will need to sit and ferment 1-4 days. This is what is known as the Second Fermentation. The more fizzy you want it, the longer I'd leave it. You can leave longer than 4 days but be careful as it can get vinegary tasting.
To stop the Second Fermentation, place your jars in the refrigerator.

I like to use a small strainer to pour a glass to drink. Only because the second fermentation can grow a mini scoby or have scoby floaters. They are good for you, but not very tasty as they tend to be a bit slimy. Plus I like to add crazy things for flavor, such as herbal teas (dried fruit/leaves) so this helps filter that out as well.

Thanks for watching yall! I hope you have a great week....Stay tuned as we are on lamb watch as lambing season is about to begin!

Psalms 91:4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
