I’m going to post this review on the gallon jar and book products, since it was this starter kit, gallon jar/heater, and book combo that has set me on my kombucha home brew journey….
I bought the starter kit last month, plus The Big Book of Kombucha and was reading it, talked to friends who’d brewed their own kombucha in the past; they all recommended a glass jar with spigot to do continuous brew rather than mess about with the SCOBY, risk it getting contaminated, and make everything simpler. I bought one from Home Goods, but as I kept reading, I realized the cute crystal glass and plastic spigot would not be good…
Went back to the drawing board, researched on Amazon and found a great kombucha gallon jar, with stainless steel spigot, and bought their heater, kombucha likes 78 degrees…and ferments faster…
A week ago, I followed a hybrid of directions from my book, the starter kit, and jar people….and created my first go, this starter kit is great, has everything you need, the tea is a mix of organic green and black tea, I’m ordering more today, cane sugar, vinegary smelling starter kit and healthy looking thin layers of cream and tan SCOBY, cane sugar, PH strips - I’m going to use their gallon jar to experiment once my SCOBY needs to be cut smaller…
Once I’d mixed everything in my jar, my PH was 2.5 = perfect….added the stick on temp gauge, and my heater, and it’s cook little hat…
I had placed the gallon jar on a small towel so I could drag it forward, rather than lifting it….i talked to my dear little Scooby Doo, it is a living organism, every time I was in the kitchen, kept temp at 78-80 degrees, a new white seal grew on top, and stringing strands grew down, all by the book….
I sampled it today, it was sweet, but a little tart, and decanted half off into an old big 48 oz kombucha bottle, and added fresh ginger, hibiscus, and lemon juice- I will burp it every day for 3-4 days, and when the bubbles, flavor is to my liking, I’ll strain it into small bottles and put them in the fridge.
My research says let the SCOBY sit in more concentrated mixture for a few days before adding more sweet tea and starting the process all over again…
So far, it has been fun, and I look forward to drinking the real flavored stuff in a few days…

At first, I was hesitant, ordering a live culture online, but the order was here within a couple days, and it might as well have been brewed in my own house. It was very fresh, looked healthy, and smelled amazing.

At first, I was hesitant, ordering a live culture online, but the order was here within a couple days, and it might as well have been brewed in my own house. It was very fresh, looked healthy, and smelled amazing.
Quick and to the point: the kit has worked very well. I've successfully brewed two batches of Kombucha. The kit is high-quality, and the instructions were crystal clear.
More Details:
I'm currently on my 3rd batch and ran into a problem, which is no fault of Fermentaholic's starter kit. When you ferment anything, you'll eventually run into something strange happening. I've fermented sauerkraut, salsa, and pickles since 2016, so I know that things can go wrong even when you're careful.
My current fermentation is forming a SCOBY that looks questionable. If there is a problem, it's not because of the product; it's because of a random bout of bad luck. Many wild things are flying in the air in any home, and if they land at the right moment, things can go wrong.
For me, the SCOBY that is currently forming has a strange, dry-looking texture. It was outside of my area of expertise, so I contacted Fermentaholics and got ahold of Jerry. I emailed photos and spoke on the phone with him. There are a few plausible situations that Jerry thinks could be happening, so I'll need to wait and see what this batch does. While we haven't reached a definitive conclusion, he has been an enormous help. At no point did I feel like an inconvenience, nor did it feel like he was in a rush.
He didn't ask me to prove that I purchased from them, and he has no clue I'm leaving this review. I figured it was the least I could do for such good customer service. He freely gave his time, even though it was not a fault of their product. I can't say enough good things about Fermentaholics, and I will happily remain a customer and refer people their way any time. Thanks, Jerry!

Grazie
die Qualität der gelieferten Ware ist sehr gut - die Anleitung auch. Der Scoby ist allerdings etwas "lahm". Nach nunmehr 13 Tagen habe ich den pH grade mal auf 3.8 herunten und er bewegt sich kaum mehr. Ich nehme an, dass der Scoby doch arg lange in der Plastiktüte war - ist der aus den USA geliefert worden und länger gelagert? Ich hoffe jedoch, dass er sich noch fängt und ich einen Kombucha im Normalbereich von pH 2.5-3.5 noch bekomme. Ein neuer, deutlich größerer Scoby formiert sich an der Oberfläche - ich hoffe, dass der dann beim nächsten Durchgang kräftiger ist ...
