ACT 1: Brew tea for kombucha
STEP 1
Put desired amount of tea into disposable kombucha.com Drawstring Filter Bags (tea balls and muslin bags not recommended for this blend). PRO TIP: tea will expand in water, so only fill your tea bags up about half way, otherwise bags may burst.
STEP 2
Add your sugar and filtered water to a pot, heat to a rolling boil, then add filled tea bags. Immediately remove from heat, cover, and allow to cool to room temperature. Remove tea bags. PRO TIP: Need to cool your brew more quickly? Use only 1/4 to 1/3 of the total water to boil, allow tea to steep, then add the remainder at chilled or room temperature.
STEP 3
Add your cooled brew to your scoby and starter liquid. Cover with a piece of cloth (or kombucha.com Fer-Mesh) and an elastic band, then place in a well-ventilated area between 72-80 degrees. Do not place in direct sunlight.
ACT 2: Ferment your booch
STEP 1
Allow your brew to ferment for 5-10 days (warmer >temperatures take less time), or until your brew reaches desired flavor.
STEP 2
Optional: flavor withkombucha.com Brew Booster or your favorite booch fixins, and bottle for secondary fermentation. Enjoy your creation!
ENCORE: Boost your brew with Brew Booster
before
you begin
For kombucha and other living beverages, reserve your scoby
and/or any starter liquid needed for your next batch, before adding
Brew Booster. Use during first (primary) fermentation not
recommended.
STEP 1

STEP 3
Remove the bag, tea ball, or strain your brew. For kombucha and other living beverages, bottle for secondary fermentation and carbonation if desired. Store in refrigerator. Enjoy your brew!
Pro tip!
Super premium, potent deliciousness inside. Begin with the
suggested starting usage – you can always add more 😉
Important Information
1: DO NOT ALLOW YOUR BREW TO FALL BELOW 74°F DURING FERMENTATION – cold equals mold. Most homebrewing failures (and nearly all mold) are the result of insufficient (too cold) temperatures.
2: If you’re serious about brewing pro-quality kombucha at home, every time – consistency is key – and pH strips, a thermometer, a heat mat, quality tea, quality flavoring for secondary fermentation (if desired), and keeping good notes in a log are a must. Remember, if you use a heat mat, do not allow your brew to go above 84°F – higher temps can stress your culture (or kill it, if high enough) and/or create off-flavors.
3: You should start to see activity within 3-4 days of making your brew. If you don’t, or if you have questions or concerns, please reach out to us directly at kombucha.com/support. Please remember to include photos of your brew with your support request, as it helps us help you the best.
4: Please carefully review the instructions below in their entirety. Making kombucha is exceedingly easy with The RBC System, but it does take care and attention to detail.
