I wouldn’t fret about it, nor would I throw out the batch. Just keep it in mind for next time.

DO NOT put kombucha starter down the drain if you have a septic system! It will form a big ol’ scoby on the top of your tank that blocks the septic guys from cleaning out the system.

I’m sure it’s also not great to put down municipal water lines either, just because it could probably cause the sewage guys trouble at some point too. (not sure if sewage sits around long enough to ferment and grow more baby mushrooms–but I’m sure it could!)

I have heard it’s GREAT to put in compost though!!

If you need water filters for you refrigerator, I would highly recommend you to use FiltersFast. I buy my filters at their online store. I like to things most: their prices and their speed of order delivery.

You can simply remove the scoby and place it in a small jar with 1/2 cup kombucha to preserve it. This should keep for at least a few weeks to a month, if not more, until you are ready to make the next batch.

I am currently brewing my first gallon batch of Kombucha. I’ve looked around but haven’t found a solid answer on how to store the “mother” when I finish brewing. Being as I’m doing a gallon and the only one drinking it, I won’t be making a new batch right away. So can someone advise me on how to store it so it doesn’t go bad?

Thanks!

I only have a half-gallon sized glass jar- can I still make kombucha with this jar? Would I cut the ingredients down to a half recipe?

Thank you SO much for posting this recipe!!! I recently discovered Kombucha as I was in Whole Foods (a rare trip, indeed) and looking for something a little out of the ordinary. Voila! So yummy! I can’t wait to brew my own!

Hello,

I was hoping that you still had kombucha “mushrooms” available. If you do is it possible that I might be able to purchase one from you? I am having a difficult time fine one to purchase. Thank you for all of your helpful information.

Sincerely,
Michelle
