Practical “Buch” Keeping
You have just received a kombucha scoby (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast). He (she) is a pancake-like polymer structure and home for the probiotic culture.
The bacteria eat sugar and caffeine. We feed them; they grow.
Here’s what to do:
1. Brew a batch of green or black tea. (2 bags) I make it concentrated so it cools more quickly.
2. Allow to cool.
3. In a quart wide mouth mason jar or some similar vessel, dissolve 4 tablespoons of sugar into some water. NO CHLORINE or other anti bacterial chemicals!
4. Fill jar with this sugar water, tea and more plain, unchlorinated water; stir well.
5. Add scoby!
6. Cover with paper towel and rubber band.
7. Leave at room temperature, out of the sun, for 5-7 days.
8. Bottle and add flavour if desired (fruit, fruit juice, tea etc)
9. Store at room temperature up to 1 month.
10. Repeat!
The longer you leave the “buch” the more sour it becomes. It will only die if it is neglected for a long time. It will slow its action down at cooler temps, ie in fridge.

My friend and occasional music partner, Eric Scott Bresselsmith, is an artisan essential oils craftsman. Here is a link to his website for the House of Aromatics and also a link to an episode of Sustainable World Radio in which he was interviewed.
Happy new explorations!
