Do you still have kombucha scobys that you will send for shipping? I live in northern Indiana. Is it too cold for them to come thru the mail? Thanks Jenny Wardeh,

I am fascinated with the wealth of information you have available! So much to learn! Thanks SO much for all your work! Just a quick question: What do you know about the continuous kombucha brew?

Just a quick question: What do you know about the continuous kombucha brew? I am trying to decide which way to go…

It helps your ferment get going the first time. I think you could probably skip it, but your first batch might take longer to finish.

Cultures for life says in the instructions that I must add white vinegar when its cool. I don't see that in your directions and am concerned that adding the vinegar would make it really sour. What do you think about adding or not adding the vinegar? I am ready to make my first batch of kombucha and have the suger/tea cooling.

Build up slowly and keep it to a few ounces a day. That's my practice with little ones. Linnae — I tend to think that small amounts are okay. Build up slowly and keep it to a few ounces a day.

I recently started making my own kombucha and I wondered if you have any thoughts on the safety of giving it to children due to the alcohol content? And do you know what the alcohol content typically is? There is so many different opinions out there and I really value yours. Hi Wardeh!

I am on my second batch but the baby is still really thin. Is this ok/normal? I took the baby from which is now i guess my mother and jarred it with two cups of the batch ,wanted o see if it would get think. Kombucha taste great but I was concerned about the thickness of the mother. Should I be? I got my baby from a friend. I am on my second batch but the baby is still really thin. Is this ok/normal?
