Kombucha 2 Gallon Brewing Bundle

This kit has provided the best home kombucha set up I've tried so far. The large SCOBY was very healthy and so far (4 batches in) has continued to provide great, zingy kombucha and formed new SCOBYs.The packaging is as good as can be expected, because they are shipping a live product that is carbonated. Here's what you can probably expect if you order this:-My external box did not have any damage, but my internal packaging was wet from either the starter tea bottle or the SCOBY package leaking.-The instruction manual was wet and stuck together, so the pages were a little difficult to read.-The instructions also varied between the box, the instruction manual, and the actual SCOBY package, which was confusing.-The bottle of starter tea was bulged out significantly (again, it is carbonated), and I had to open it over the sink with a towel to help it not explode all over my kitchen.-The SCOBY package was leaking slightly.That said, none of those things are deal breakers in my opinion, because the set overall arrived very healthy. For my set up (I use a continuous brew container), it has continued to perform very well and make delicious kombucha.I would recommend this if you are not afraid of a little sticky mess at the beginning.

Excellent product. The SCOBY was very healthy and the starter tea really jump started the process. I am on my third batch with the addition of 2 new SCOBYs. Second ferments have been very successful. Next up, a SCOBY hotel.

Purchased a dehydrated one from a local food cooperative first and that was expensive and a huge failure. Decided to try this one instead, omg...amazing, a huge live scoby, first time used it developed another scoby, so healthy and wonderful, having a continuous kombucha batch continually now, wish I had just found this one before I bought the other.

Just made a giant batch. The instructions are super easy and on 3 different bags so I can give them to friends so they can also make some!

I ordered this product on a recommendation from my son. He purchased it 3 years ago and has had no issues. He had just split his scoby for a friend, so suggested I just order a new one to get started. I purchased 2 kits. When the product arrived, similar to other reviewers, the scoby bag was almost ready to burst open. Both of the bottles for the starter were bulging and the bottoms were so distended so that it wouldn't stand up. My son thought this was strange because he didn't have this situation with his product. I made 2 batches per the instructions. After a week, my husband commented that the scoby looked fuzzy. I thought he didn't know what it should look like and didn't actually take a look for a couple more days. When I did, I realized the entire surface of the scoby/liquid was a layer of mold. I had to throw everything away. Unfortunately, this item is not returnable, so I am out the money spent for this product. I definitely would not recommend this product to anyone. The company seems to have very poor-quality control as others have had the same issues.

This kit worked great for the starter brew batch. The Kombucha is tasty and fizzy.

It’s wonderful product i enjoy this drink daily👍👍👍

I'm an old hand at kombucha making, but haven't made any in a few years because it was taking up too much space in my refrigerator. I finally sprung for a beverage fridge and decided to get a batch going again, which meant I needed a SCOBY. This kit was the only one I found that included what I considered to be a reasonable amount of starter tea, and it was highly enough rated that I decided to go for it.As other reviewers have noted, both the plastic bag holding the SCOBY and the plastic bottle with the starter tea were under a great deal of pressure, and it's a little amazing that they didn't burst during shipping. They were definitely deformed! I would seriously suggest that either the packaging be modified to account for the amount of time this product is in the warehouse and en route to the customer or that the logistics be modified so that the product has less time from factory to customer. I seriously got the impression here that I was extremely lucky and that if it had been as much as a day or two more I would have had a real mess on my hands opening the package up.However, I have no complaints about the resulting kombucha. The kit produced a gallon of good quality product, and I've got a two and a half gallon second batch about ready to go into secondary ferment.
