Wow, high grade Long Jing for brewing Jun!! Very very good tea.
A good tip to extract green tea: bring water to a boil, then cool down the water by adding room temperature water: this gives more oxygene to tea and extracts green tea the best way. Thank you for this video: I love Jun and this channel.
This girl is awesome, I'd love to be friends with someone who has all this knowledge and have hobbies like making Kombucha haha.
You can convert a black tea scoby to a Jun scoby by using a little bit of black tea and sugar in your freshly brewed green tea and honey, I used about 20% sugar and black tea and mostly green tea and it worked out fine.
It’s not how it works. This way you can’t sell “Jun starter pack” 🤪
Wow thanks i didn't want to buy a scoby.
That's becuse the whole "kombucha eats only cane sugar" things is completely false. There are scientific studies made with different types of sugar and guess what - they all ferment just fine. :P
There are some differences in the bacteria that can be found in Kombucha made with different types of sugar. But the bacteria is just different - not better or worse.
@@Arek.Arkadiusz not to immidiately reply. But whatever... I been using this big Costco bag of coconut sugar i've had for years and never used... Just like you say, it's working great.
I have the understanding (and she stated this in the video) that the Jun scoby and reg scoby are different organisms and you don’t get a authentic Jun by training a reg kombucha scoby you have to get a Jun scoby to make real Jun, the champagne of kombucha. But it’s still cool if you can make the regular scoby feed on other things it just won’t be authentic Jun from my understanding. I bought my authentic Jun scoby on Amazon because of this fact. I don’t consume sugar and has never heard of this kind of kombucha until I saw it bottled at a health food store & it’s the bomb! That company had cold brewed the green tea, I wondered why but now I see they do that so it’s less bitter probably.
I make Cold Brew, soaking 3 tbsps bulk tea in 2 quarts for 3 days. The honey I put in 1 cup hot water. After the 3 days I combine. Then add SCOBY to sweet tea.

Very informative. Thank you!
nice and informative video, thanks!!
Such great helpful information. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for sharing you expertise! I learned so much and feel so much more confident!
I really enjoy watching and learning for your videos. you are getting close to your silver play button 😃
Great videos. You have a professional commentator delivery.
Thank you, this video is very helpful on my Jun journey lol! You are very knowledgeable and helpful. Love the video style and way you explain everything. I’ll be watching more of you videos! Take care😊
YouBrewKombucha always comes up with such beautiful looking drinks! I love the passionfruit idea with the seeds, looks amazing and if it adds texture then that's a win-win.
Hi. Thanks for your videos. You do a very good job! I like your pitcher. I didn’t find it on your list of recommended equipment. Do you remember where you got it?
I've used my scoby interchangeably for black and green tea and about two weeks ago I substituted the sugar for raw honey in black tea and it was AMAZING. So I kinda wonder if you REALLY need a scoby specific to honey... My black tea jun (which sounds like it's actually not a thing, my research results have been that jun is strictly green tea and honey, but anyways...) was so delicious, still sweeter than normal kombucha and so bubbly, I love it.
@You Brew Kombuchas, Could you PLEASE link that giant measuring cup or advise where I can grab one?! I’m obsessed! 🤩😍
Soo informative! (as always) Thank you! I've been brewing Jun for a little while now but have hit and miss batches which I'm still trying to figure out 🤔. Thanks to you I think I've twigged where I'm potentially going wrong 🙈. Love your vids!
What an excellent, rigorous choice of curation here - the comparing of the two behaviors is such a great idea. Can we use bottled jun as starter like we can do with kombucha from store for kombucha growing? Also, you mentioned tea quality - what brand is working well for you? Thanks!
Excellent video! New subscriber here!Thank you for making this thorough video. I will check on your channel but I am so curious on your thought or experience using Matcha Green Tea for brewing Jun.
Cool & super thanks !
I started fermenting jun 5-6 years ago. It processes very quickly. One time I added elderberries for the second ferment. Powerful delicioso!!!
I still have 2 elder berries on my 14' ceiling! Lol!!!
Thanks!
Making me thirsty!
Nicely done!
Thank you!
Do you ever make Cold Brew ? Which has less tannin bitters.
♥️💗♥️

I just ordered my Jun starter pack! Your videos were the most helpful in starting my kombucha so I'm hoping this one will be a hit with me too. Not a lot of info out there for jun.
Couldn’t have said it better! I’m so excited to learn more.
Can you use a Kamboucha starter with honey and green tea to make Jun? I have difficulty finding a Jun starter in my country
Is green tea essential for jun? I'm wanting to try white or oolong possibly.
Can you use unrefined brown cane sugar for kombucha?
If I use honey that has crystalized and liquify if again in a pot on the stove - will that work for jun? Or does that kill enzymes or something and would mess up the fermentation process?
Could you throttle the starter’s acidity by placing it in the fridge for a while and then bringing it back to room temperature a few days before using some of that starter to brew a new batch?
is passion fruit bottled or canned or is it fresh fruit?
Did you add honey to the unflavored 2nd ferment, why\why not?
hello! i like the work you are doing, i am in togo i am a student. I have a kombucha production project. please i need your help with some concerns
Did you sanitize all your equipment with some thing like Star San or One Step?
Do you sanitize everything before?
How much alcohol is produced by fermentation of the sugars?
I would love to know your thoughts on kombucha vs jun vs water kefir. Are they basically all the same thing? Or do they do different things.
Water kefir can get you drunk
They are doing the same thing. The different between them are the ingredients, brewing time and taste.
can you use macha ?
Where's the link for supplies?
Can I ask you a question, after you make your first batch and you're the only one drinking it, can you just stor the scobe with it 2 cups of liquid until you make a new batch? I don't want my scobe to mold and I know I'm not going to be able to drink enough of my kombucha before I am able to make another batch. So basically what I'm asking is how long can you store your scobe before making another batch, also where's the best place to store it?? Thanks for your channel, love it.
She has a video on scoby hotels, it’s very informative. You can keep the scoby hotel anywhere that’s not drafty and is out of direct sunlight, just like your brew.
In a scoby hotel, you can keep your scobys a long time, sometimes as long as six months or even a year, but I’d reccomend you fed it sweet tea from time to time so it doesn’t dry up. Perhaps once a month.
Do I need to add sugar or honey to my flavoring??
link to those juice bottles?
I made my first batch of Jun, 2nd Ferm over 4 days and I did not get any carbonation. Used 3 different "flavors" and had the same results. Any suggestions?
Wish you’d talk about kahm yeast
I've been brewing kombucha for 2 yrs & to speed up 2nd fermentation flavoring I experiment with qt size mason jars with plastic lids instead of the flip top bottles. After 3-4 days definitely doesn't have the carbonation of the smaller flip top bottles. Any suggestions?
This is all about the size of the bottle top opening. I love my mason jars but I will not brew in them because, just as you don't servechampagne in a wide-rimmed glass, in order to preserve the carbonation you would want to use a narrow-mouth bottle for any carbonation. Personally, I like an opening around 1" and I do not fill as high as most videos show, because I love carbonation and I want space for it to be without causing a mess when I open it. Secondfermentation in a mason jar would immediately leave lots of space the brew to flatten. Thanks for posting this - I'm sure a lot of folks who have mason jar love will benefit from you bringing it up!
How many teabags for 1 gallon of Jun Kombucha?
Hi. My jun first fermentation DOESN'T CREATE any CARBONATION 😢
But it creates new scobies 🤔 .
What can i do for that.
Im from Greece 🇬🇷☀️
Can you make Jin from scratch ?
Do you have to use cloth or can you use an air lock?
You can do either! Doesn’t make a big difference
Can you use the same scobie for jun and kombucha?
yes u can. just use a new young scoby that formed.
Yes. Try it. Youll see its nothing special.
A good reason to start raising honeybees...luckily i raise them, so i have a stockpile of different honeys
I’d recommend using a stainless steel spoon or spatula to mix my liquid…. The wooden handle on the spatula could introduce unwanted bacteria
What brand of tea are you using?

I saw where you made your own Kombucha scoby. Can you make your own Jun scoby as well?
You have to buy a bottle of Jun which is kinda hard to find and most people have to order it online so you might as well just buy a scoby if you order online and save time.
If you're gonna be picky about the quality of your green tea, you should also be picky about the quality of your honey. Just because it's organic doesn't make it good. Store bought honey is almost always pasteurized and will have lost it's nutrients by the time it's bottled. Get local raw honey from your farmer's market.
I've heard JUN pronounced a couple different ways, one that rhymes with JUNE, like in this video, and one that rhymes with FUN. Anybody know which is correct?
Does one start a scoby hotel for Jun?
Yup!
Could you replace the honey with maple or agave syrup and make it vegan?
Somebody did it with maple. You can look it up in youtube. Agave I don't remember if the one who made the video on jun ever mentioned he used agave.
If you want to make a vegan brew, I recommend just making regular (non-jun) kombucha. That brew relies on just cane sugar and any type of tea (black/green/oolong/white/puerh). I just posted an updated guide to brewing kombucha on my channel if you’re interested.
@@YouBrewKombucha I already watched it and have been making kombucha for about a year now, so thought I'd segway into making Jun as well as it looks delicious, but just wanted to hear if you knew anything about making it vegan. It's all good though, I found a video on the proces of training a kombucha scoby into a jun scoby over time using maple syrup right here: czcams.com/video/U2_5JOj7KdU/video.html&ab_channel=TheBruSho
@@Baun92 Just curious. How is honey not vegan?
@@Gallasl666 Honey is is an animal product.
What are the benefits in Jun kombucha?
Its a lighter more honey like flavor
I have read that Jun also has all the beneficial enzymes/ nutrients that come with the raw honey… although I have not seen the specifics of what they are but I know that when vegetables are fermented the process greatly increases not only the probiotics but also significantly increases the nutrients from the veggies….ie vit c, k, ect. I’m guessing a similar process happens with the honey in Jun, although I’m not entirely sure if any studies have been done to confirm that at this point in time.
Can you convert a regular kombucha culture to a Jun culture by gradually replacing the tea and sugar from the regular kombucha with green tea and honey?
No because the makeup of the jun and kombucha scoby is similar but different enough that they are not compatible with each other. If u want a lighter kombucha maybe try using white tea instead of black tea.
@@jonathonhackett3088 Wrong, you absolutely can do it, there's a video on here of a guy turning a kombucha scoby into a Jun scoby gradually.
What guy? What
Video?
yes u can. Use a young scoby and brew green tea with honey. Over time, that's your main jun scoby.
Yes. Just take your regular scoby and which it over. This Jun nonsense is a lie to get you buy scoby. Just try it and see.
❤❤❤❤

I can't believe you didn't use raw organic honey from the Farmer's Market with the high quality Jun scoby? that store honey looks like pasteurized high fructose corn syrup.
Disagree!! I love watching your very detailed videos. You helped me get started!!!
You say you trust Fermentaholics but in another video you berate companies that say to use vinegar.... read a Fermentaholics Kombucha starter bag.
Love all your videos though and an avid follower
He-brews
Am I the only one who can't see the video footage? It appears corrupt. I hear audio, but not video.
I feed a big SCOBY to the wild deer and they like it very much.
That’s WILD!
Squeezing your tea in a french press is just as bad as brewing it too hot so you might want to stop doing that if youre trying to avoid bitter flavor from your tea
My god so many videos about kombucha & jun & you can tell the maker just learned about buch rescently. Learning not long ago just to make a CZcams video (got to get them veiws lol). Maybe I should make a video on this. Because when I want to learn about something. I want to learn from someone that know there stuff & has been doing it a while. My pops alway told me as a kid learn from the best. I've been making buch for years. And stuff like what happened to her with the bottle exploding lol. This happens to all of us, when we are newbs. Cause there inexperienced & don't know about burping bottles & how often to do it. I do appreciate try to help people. I don't mean to be salty but this is the 3rd video I watched, where I can tell that this person making the video doesn't know a fraction of what I know. And that's not saying much. Because I consider myself stupid with this stuff. Just wanted to get some idea's for flavors that pair good with jun. With regular buch I used ginger & blue berries, strawberries, apple & basil, cucumber & melon all the basic flavors. But I never brewed Jun & don't know what will pairs good with this new ki nd of (jun) flavor. Well it looks like no one on CZcams really knows either. I wasn't really feeling the crushed passion fruit withn seeds everywhere. That's the problem these day it's always quantity over quality.
Your videos are great, but fairly long winded in todays day and age. If you could get these down to under 8 minutes I think you'd have a lot more success.
Do you burp before refrigerating?
❤❤❤❤
