You don't have to throw the scoby away! Peel the layers off and setup a scoby hotel.
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.
Brilliant very well done 👍
That looks really good finish, I been brewing kombucha for a few weeks ready for this next step, thanks for sharing
How did ot turn out?
@@teekotrain6845 great!! I added hops and made it too hoppy should had just left it with the kombucha flavor and would had been tastier, definetly got a good bit of alcohol in mine
Thanks for the vid definitely gonna try this one out sometime!
you can also do an ice bath to bring the temp really quickly to colder temps!!
You can test the abv by using an hydrometer
Love your style bro
I ALWAYS forget a step! Usually it being sugar! Lol! Thanks for making me not feel alone 🤣
next time dont forget water xD
Hey Justin, how much Hops, lemongrass, lemon peel do you think you added? Thanks!
"you could like sneakily get people drunk with this thing" just wow.
sounds tasty

Yikes
And wonders why billy relapsed...

Did you flavor during the Anaerobic fermentation step? Could you flavor at bottling after that step?
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.
I cringed when I saw him splashing it. lol Definitely got some oxidation but at least he bottle conditioned and that can help get rid of any oxygen that was introduced.
how long will it keep in the fridge before expiring? This was an awesome vid. Can't wait to try.
Kombucha doesn't expire, hell, you can even age it like wine
Wait so to try This do i need the fancy large jug thing that lets air out but not in?
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!
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.
@@S.S.250 Word, thanks for that explanation. I couldn't get a scoby from hard kombucha anyways, which makes sense from what you said. I'm have kombucha brewing now, gonna try to use some left over ale yeast to make hard kombucha.
Loved the video.
You may have figured this out by now, but add your honey/sugar before you cool down your tea and it will be super easy to dissolve.
He talks about how he messed that up in the video
Hi! This was a cool vid! I'm trying to brew my own alcoholic kombucha too now, but I don't have that second fermentation bottle that you have with that kind of lid. Do you know what a good alternative would be?/Or is something like that absolutely necessary. I just have large mason jars.
You can get one on Amazon with the airlock fairly cheap like 15 bucks or so. It's called a carboy.
If you use a mason jar it can explode from the pressure
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.)
1. Did you use the whole bag of pellets? (I have the same one)
2. Did they turn to mush and make getting them out super hard?
1. Nope, I believe I only used about half!
2. Yes - total mush instantly. lol. I strained mine at around 7:30, but you can also use a bag to contain your flavorants too.
how much yeast did you use
What is the ratio of yeast and final water?
This is my 10th time watching as I am following along with my own batch. I just paused to peek at your fridge. Beer kombucha and maybe sourdough starter??
Not even finished with video but I love that you make the mistakes and just go deep into your video. Ty. This is amazing
Great video. I wanna try to make some alcoholic kombucha but I think I need some supplies first. Please add a link to the glass vessel you used to ferment with hops and that pressure topper. Thank you.
Ever heard of google or ebay or amazon? Seriously how lazy are you?
@@bumpee978 what a great and supportive comment! May be I want to support a creator and use an affiliate link so they can earn money. Some vessels are complete garbage BTW and if a creator has something that have worked for them not a bad ideato share. So don't throw that "lazy" garbage at me and look at your own self first.
@RealLifeMasha I don't know what the original commenter said but you are totally right about some of the supplies not being the best quality. Like, if you do the 2nd ferment in an IKEA bottle, it's probably going to explode.😅
I wanna know if this ended up more like beer or a tart, or a cider. Personally, not a beer fan, but ciders or tarts I’m all in. If it just turns out like beer, then I’m wondering if I should try wine yeast instead
champagne yeast is your go-to :)
I just recently started brewing kombucha and absolutely love it. Where do I purchase the ingredients to make it into a beer there are no breweries close to me
Check to see if you have any home brewing stores in your area. Its a great place to ask questions and find really good ingredients and gear. If not you can find all you need online (amazon is a good place).
Northern Brewer
Sup Dude, did you use any sterilization products? Like StarSans
I used StarSan on most of the parts but didn't get much footage of it.
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.
Can you add protein powder to the first fermentation of making kombucha?
No
Do you test the alcohol levels?
Now THAT's the iPFS content I'm looking for ;)
sounds and looks delicious. where is the recipe? lol
At around 2:50 “I don’t want paper pulp in the kombucha”. LOL the SCOBY is actually composed by celullose along with other stuff! Thanks for the video!
If you want a nice and round scoby use BROWN (dark) sugar. Not white
Do you remove the scoby in the 2nd fement when you added the sugar and hops
Yes.
Use it to start up another batch.
I like your glass
Good video! I have been wanting to give the hard booch a try myself.
(I have forgot the sugar several times too... I usually don't notice until a week in and already messed up the batch abit)
Liquid gold!
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.
Can you not just use normal bottles that you used for 2nd fermentation and burp it like twice a day to still let it get alcoholic?
You should make more videos dude
Gosh you made me giggle. Thanks Loved it. I want to try to Champagne But this helped. thanks..
“Good old citra hop booch” LMFAOOOOOOO
You still have any? I’d love to try it too! I’ll tip ya! 😋
I'll definitely share more in the future!
All kombucha has the tiniest amount of alcohol. Safe for me.
can you post the full recipe so we don't have to buy the book?
Fuck yeah man I’m going to try it.
Didn’t you sanitize anything?
Kombucha = tea + water + sugar. Proceeds to forget about one of these three ingredients . Who never'??? Great vid though!
thanks for the video! coincidentally this was published on my birthday lol
Can we drive after drinking this?:))
No!
It's happens
Sorry but did he say you can sneak get people drunk?
how many bottles of these til u feel buzz? haha
"F2 in bottle produces O2 that cannot escape", uh oh that's new to me 😅
Lol. He meant co2. And should bottle with more residual sugars if you want more co2
@@acaughey09 I know 😅
Dude, how do you make it through life
Elaborate...
The mistakes make the video better. Now I see what happens if.
BRO! YOU SHOULDVE ADDED SUGAR AFTER THE KOMBUCHA BREW IN THE BOTTLE WITH THE FANCY CAP
Tiny bit for caronation. Either way it will continue to use sugars and carbonate. It will be a dryer taste without.
unpasteurized
Ahhhhh!!!! The tea bag tags are forgivable but forgetting the sugar!?!??! Where's your head man?
You're just beautiful to watch.
I watched this video because I am experimenting with kombucha brews but I watched you make mistakes endearingly because I couldn't take my eyes off you.
I was hoping you'd come back completely wrecked at the end there lmao like, eyes barely open, can barely even understand what you're saying
Shoulda, coulda, woulda
so many mistakes, its like you are drunk while following the steps lmao
Maybe not get drunk before making the videos dude
