2 1/2 Gallon Porcelain with Spigot Blue Strip Lead Free

Simply and the easiest method to ferment kombucha. Once under way just add fresh pure water, sugar and tea. See below for our specials on organic and premium teas which have been specially selected for optimum kombucha brewing.

Of course you may use  this art piece as the more common single stage  fermentor but do consider the advantage of the Continuous Brewing method. The  “optimum” health benefit of the nutrients are more readily available. Another  advantage is that there is no need to do weekly cleaning, no need to worry about the kombucha mushroom, mold is less likely to form , Great Kombucha Tea is readily available, and there is less need to do bottling or extra storage. Simply pour off a cup of perfect KT. 

Only continuous brewing of the kombucha allows the formation of different acids that are constantly being produced  and broken down through out the active ferment time.  Kombucha Researcher Mike Rousin indicated that at 80o F and 7 days the ferment has the greatest variety of health benefits. (vitamins, oxalic acid, etc) However, he also noted that the longer fermentation proceeds the more beneficial acids have a chance to form. Some of these acids don't even appear until 14-21 days in the process.  These acids are largely responsible for the detoxifying nature of KT and are  the catalysts we seek in K-Tea. Glucose content maximizes around the 8th or 9th day. This implies that gluconic acid production could not peak until after that point. Gluconic acid is the biggest single contributor to the detox effect.

A longer brewing cycle, say 20-30 days, may deplete the total sugar or reduce the caffeine content, but the taste (unless finely filtered) is pretty much undrinkable.

The complete range is always present and can be maintained by bottling. Bottling or drinking the brew should be done prior to adding the fresh sugar and tea. If one person wishes a more sour tea simple draw off and allow to ferment longer in a separate uncapped bottle.

At this time our Kombucha Tea is the only know cure for EBS.
