PRAISE THE LAWD
Anybody else running into this? I've been brewing kombucha for years now and never had a problem starting a batch from scratch with GT's Original from the store but my last two attempts have resulted in.. nothing. No pellicle or effervescence.
Has anyone been able to make a copy cat recipe for the 2020 Unity summer edition? I'm curious about the best ratios for cherry, coconut, and lemon grass.

Have you guys seen this video?! I thought it was rly cool to see the generalized process which GT uses. What I thought was interesting is that
- They press the kiwis for juice (although in the video the juice they added didn’t rly look like pressed kiwi juice). I always thought it was a juice like you can buy in the store (like apple juice)
- They dilute their kombucha!?? Around 2.10 they show the fermenting vessel (looks like a 2gal with maybe a quarter gal of tea in it) and Dave adds water to it! Maybe this is how they keep the alcohol content low??
- They ferment 30 days and not the typical 7-14 which I’ve read about the most.
Overall I thought this video was really cool and insightful on how the kombucha I love to drink is made.
Someone in another thread mentioned the "Cody Ko" (of whom I'd never before heard) YouTube videos about GT Dave of "GTs Kombucha." They are definitely worth a watch.
The first one is simply Cody Ko and his friend/partner Noel Miller watching what is apparently a promotional/background video about GTs Kombucha, and offering their wisecracking critique.
GT Dave apparently saw the video, and thought it was funny, so he invited the pair to visit him at his "lair." In the second video, they took him up on his offer.
I have to say...in the first video, Dave does come off as quite a character (to put it kindly), but in the second, he seems like a totally cool dude, and comes off as very hip, down to earth, and funny as heck!
I’m so interested to try it
In the recent video "Why Is My Hair So Long" I noticed Cody drinking Health Ade kombucha...NOT GT kombucba. Did he and GT Dave have a falling out?? Maybe GT Dave is jealous of how thick and luscious Cody's hair is? Maybe the kombucha was too healthy and it was making Cody's hair grow too fast? Are they ok??
My partner read this somewhere online. I don’t even drink half that much WATER a day. Guy’s an absolute monster!
