    if you ever forget to add sugar, you can heat up some water separately mix sugar in that, and cool it enough to incorporate it into your booch to make sure its all dissolved 👍

    Who hasn't left out the sugar when making 'booch? I make sure to measure my sugar and put it on the counter near the brewing tea so I can't forget it.

  • @jaredsherwood1983
    @jaredsherwood1983 Před rokem +1

    At the end of your beer ferment you want to make sure you do not splash at all as beer oxidises from any splash. By filtering and pouring through a filter you've oxidizef your brew so it won't be great after a period of time.

    Good video man, really informative. You think if you used store bought hard kombucha to make a mother and then brewed kombucha from that, would it then have a high alcohol content? May have to give that a try. But this video is super helpful, definitely going to try this! Thanks man!

    • @S.S.250
      @S.S.250 Před 4 lety +3

      The scoby/pellicle does make alcohol, it's the dry wine yeast that makes the alcohol. Creating a mother/scoby from hard booch probably would not do anything. Actually, the alcohol hurts the Scooby, which is why you make kombucha and then add wine yeast to it and don't just do it all at the same time. So no, making a mother from hard kombucha probably would not make it more alcoholic.

    • @CoolCalmMaurice

    About the yeast - it'd also be fine just with those in your batch, especially the "strings" that look like alien tentacles. Just put under the airlock.
    At first they'll be a tiny bit worse than ale yeast, but if you add a bit of previous yeast to your new batch - it'll become awesome.
    I made my starter even for other brews that way, just from combucha yeast strings.)

      With all of the random natural yeasts that already exist in Kombucha, there really isn't a reason to sterilize. Adding yeast like he did is really just tipping the ratios in your favor slightly.

    @AlbeeSoaring Před 6 měsíci

    Cool idea. I just started making kombucha and have thought about combining with some of my beer I make. After seeing this video Id say I like what you did with some tweaks. First off boiling the sugar is a needed move to kill off anything that could be in the sugar. How ever I would add the hops and your adjuncts to that hot mixture once its gotten down to 170 degrees. This will help pull out the hop flavors and aromas much better. Like the fact you just winged it bt my OCD was killing me watching you jut dump unknown amounts. Got to measure so you can repeat if you like it. Oh fyi That one you made could be around 6.5-7.2% abv with the amount of sugar you added to that what looked like 1 gallon of fluid.
