Hello Kombucha makers! I’ve been making kombucha for 20 years now and still going strong! You can use any tea. I just make sure to use 1 green tea bag with them. I’ll do 3 berry tea bags and 1 green tea. I also use pineapple core in most of my second brews. I just slice them thin. I used a vanilla or peach tea and the outcome tasted like champagne! Yum.
We also blend up the scobys with mango and dehydrate to make probiotic gummies. There are so many great ideas to use up those extra scobys that we so easily collect! Enjoy my fellow kombucha drinkers!!!

I’ve never tried using monk fruit so I don’t know!

Sorry that happened to you. Kombucha can be a bit fickle for sure! Since there is so much variation in the heat level in a home and also the carbonation level in a bottle, there is no one answer. However, refrigerating the bottles before opening will probably lower the risk. Plus, I think they taste better cold!

These are great suggestions for 2nd fermentation. How do you know if the 2nd fermentation is ready? I used flip top bottles and I’m a kombucha newbie. I had 1 bottle of strawberry lime that i 2nd fermented for 3 days. Being aware of the possibility of a liquid explosion, I wanted to test if it was ready so I tried to push the top while pulling up on the metal closure just to check on the carbonation but I ended up having a disaster. I should have put a towel on top of the bottle instead I heard a really loud pop and my kombucha exploded like a geyser splattering about 1/3 of the contents all over my kitchen. Even my ceiling was not spared. I read later that I should have refrigerated the kombucha for 4 hours before attempting on opening the bottle.
I’ve got 1 gallon of 1st ferment right now and excited to prepare my bottles for 2nd fermentation. Can you please give me some suggestions so that this doesn’t happen again ?
