Frequently asked questions

What is a Kombucha Starter Culture (SCOBY)?

A SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) is a live culture used to ferment sweetened tea into kombucha. It is the essential ingredient that starts the natural fermentation process and produces traditional homemade kombucha.

What is included with this product?

Each purchase includes:
● 1 Live Kombucha SCOBY (approximately 10cm)

The starter liquid helps create the ideal environment
for beginning your first batch of kombucha.

Is this a live SCOBY?

Yes. This is a live Kombucha Starter Culture that is ready to use for brewing kombucha at home when used according to recommended brewing instructions.

What is the starter liquid used for?

The starter liquid helps lower the pH of your sweet tea at the beginning of fermentation, creating suitable conditions for brewing kombucha. It should be used together with the SCOBY when preparing your first batch.

Is this SCOBY suitable for beginners?

Yes. Whether you're making kombucha for the first time or you're an experienced home brewer, this SCOBY is suitable for all experience levels. Following a reliable kombucha recipe is recommended.

Can I reuse the SCOBY?

Yes. With proper care, a healthy SCOBY can be reused for multiple batches of kombucha. As it grows, it may also produce new SCOBY layers that can be used for future brews.

How should I store the SCOBY?

If you're not using the SCOBY immediately, keep it submerged in the supplied starter liquid and store it according to the care instructions provided. Proper storage helps maintain the culture until you're ready to brew.

What ingredients do I need to make kombucha?

To brew kombucha, you'll typically need:
● Tea
● Sugar
● Water

Following a trusted kombucha recipe will help you
achieve the best results.

How long does kombucha take to ferment?

Fermentation time varies depending on temperature and your preferred taste. Most home brewers adjust the fermentation period based on flavour and brewing conditions.

Can I make multiple batches with one SCOBY?

Yes. A properly maintained SCOBY can be used repeatedly, allowing you to brew kombucha regularly without purchasing a new starter each time.

What microorganisms are present in the SCOBY?

According to the product information, the SCOBY contains a culture that includes microorganisms such as:
● Gluconacetobacter
