Home Brewed Kombucha Review

It all started last spring when my friend brought some GT's Kombucha over to my house.  I had not tried any in years, my parents used to make it when I was growing up, and the stuff literally scared me.  Now being a bit older I decided to try it again, and to my surprise it was great.  There were many flavors to choose from.  The only problem was the cost, it was up near $4.00 per 16oz.  I found myself spending well over $200/month just so I could have some every day. This was getting way out of hand for my budget, and since I knew my parents used to make it, I figured I could to.  I began my research on the internet on how to make it and found a great web site, www.kombuchaamerica.com where I was able to get the yeast/microbe sent to me in the mail along with brewing instructions.  The other supplies needed were a large styrofoam cooler, a heating lamp, glass gallon jars, sugar, green tea, and vinegar.  Once I got all the supplies the rest was easy.  Now I brew my own kombucha at home, and it's even better than the store bought stuff.  I can mix it with juice or have it fresh.  Once you get your home brew kit you will see that there are many different ways it can be brewed.  Different kinds of tea, vinegar, and sugar can be used to give each brewer their own unique process.  You will find the savings to be incredible, I can brew a gallon for a little over a dollar.  Get on the internet, research the health benefits, go to the web site and get the supplies, and you will be on your way to obtaining an affordable health drink.
