I just kegged up my first large batch of kombucha. It's actually Jun, because I used honey instead of suger. I now have 55 gallons brewing at a time, the scoby is as big as a manhole cover!

People give me shit all the time about adding coke to my Crown or even Remy. I don't care if its top shelf liquor. That is how I like it, I am paying for it and fuck you, that's how I am having it. I hate that shit! I get crap for mixing with soda too. I usually have to remind the people that try to shit talk me that I can beat the piss out of them. They usually leave me alone after that. If they keep going, I just start to dissect them and mock them to no end. The booze and caffeine only make it easier lol Guys like TOIAP!

Shit is delicious and imo, satisfies my cravings for a beer when I do get them. Hardly any calories or sugar, id rather drink this than pretty much anything else on the market. I'd love some homemade stuff though.

If you are drinking it for the taste, so be it, personally not a fan. However it has become a health craze lately when in fact it more likely to kill you than provide any health benefits. It can also make hangovers worse if you drink given how it can affect the liver. If you are drinking because you enjoy it, have fun. If you are drinking health benefits, you really should read up.

How can it more than likely kill you than provide health benefits?
A can of soda is 10 times worse than a gallon of kombucha

Went to the baseball game with a friend last night and had a great time. Perfect weather and a sweet win by the Cards. Came home and tried another one of the Urban Chestnut beers I had gotten for my birthday. The Oxnbrau was really good. It's a traditional Doppelbock, which isn't a style I have very often.

A can of soda is 10 times worse than a gallon of kombucha Everything from risks of heavy metal poisoning (including arsenic), acidosis, renal/hepatic toxicity, various stomach issues, etc... And finally, it is commonly contaminated (regularly with Cadida yeast for example) meaning all sorts of risks not even related to the initial SCOBY which has its risks that I pointed out.

Source please? Just so I know you are not lying. Id still rather have this than a soda.

Source please? Just so I know you are not lying. Id still rather have this than a soda. I'm sure a quick google of Kombucha side effects will give you a few hundred pages pointing them out with various sources so you can for sure find one you trust. But in the mean time ejournals.library.ualberta.ca/index.php/JPPS/article/view/17973/15135 That will reference renal/hepatic toxicity www.bccdc.ca/resource-gallery/Documents/Educational%20Materials/EH/FPS/Food/kombucha1.pdf That one I think points out the acidosis As for the heavy metal poisoning, the fermented tea is biosorbant. It also tends to have Z. bailii, which produces acetaldehyde. The CDC put out a report in 95' that laid out initial risks www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00039742.htm and people have expanded and studied on it since. Basically though, do a search for the various risks and you can pick out what you want to believe.

Funny, when I do this same thing for vaccinations I get shit on. And when many showed you research regarding vaping, you didn't seem to think it was true. I just find it funny the way people shift thier beliefs around certain things. I guess I'm guilty as well of it. But I do appreciate the research and I will look at it. I do feel that if I drank either a bottle of kombucha, beer or soda every day for a year...that I would be in a better place with the kombucha.

Except your sources on the vaccines were wrong, they were referencing the wrong amounts, even the wrong chemicals in question. D-Sub did the same thing with transglutaminase (aka meat glue) back on the old thread and posted all sorts of things not realizing they were referring to a different transglutaminase that wasn't the meat glue. Then he read more and realized that "Dr." Mercola was just trying to sell shit and push stock prices for his portfolio. Of the 3, a bottle of beer would probably be best. Vitamins and antioxidants that Kombucha doesn't have.

New forum guys, leave the vax stuff at the old place.
And the correct answer is "kombucha is delicious", so who the fuck cares?

I actually didnt provide sources to any of what I was looking at for sources, so you must be confused. And Duval...the vaxx stuff isn't going anywhere homie. In fact, check this out, rather interesting... ucrtoday.ucr.edu/40174

Just brushed up on my kombucha internet knowledge!
Most of the articles read were total hogwash.
Don't make kombucha in a glazed clay pot if your worried about lead.
Glass jars are fine, but I use stainless steel.
Suger and the tea used could be sources for potential contamination too.
I like to use local honey and organic green tea (loose leaf, no bags or metal staples).
There are some pro-biotics present for sure, but other health benifits of my tea come from the other herbs and fruit added (blackberries, ginger, tumeric, dandelion, elderberry)
I like a long ferment that produces a sour brew, I will add more honey to taste before kegging.
After kegging the tea must be kept cold to prevent further fermentation.
It is full of B vitamins.
It is full of anti-oxidants.
It is a healthy drink in moderation.
It's a fermented tea. It probably won't heal you if your sick or hurt you if your healthy.
Common sense Angelo...

Bumming about my latest scotch trial. I live in a dry county so I can often get my neighboring county "package store" to order some decent stuff, if they don't already have it on their shelves. They usually don't have laphroaig, so I ordered a bottle of standard 10 and another of laphroaig double oak, which I hadn't tried. After getting gouged on price badly, I was at least hoping that the double oak would be good. It was certainly not. Found it to be forgettable. Mild bodied, and lacking all of the nice character that makes standard laphroaig one of my faves ( complex peat, seaweed, iodine , coffee, pepper, and caramel all combine really nicely in standard laphroaig 10).
If you are a fan of Islay peat rich scotches, stay away from the laphroaig double oak, IMO.

People who drink around 6 alcoholic beverages a week live longer. My preceptor doc was talking about the conference he just went to and they have newly released studies. Also, people who get 7-8 hours of sleep live longer, more than that is bad apparently. If 6 is good, 18 MUST be GREAT!!!!

Same here. I love them. Can't aquire a taste for sours though. Not even sure I will give another try. That said, need to chill on beer (carbs) and just drink red wine. Just got my hands on some Zombie Dust by 3 Floyds, awesome stuff. www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/26/64228/Beeradvocate scored it a perfect 100. My brother got some when he was in Chicago, can't find it where I live. Highly recommend. I've had zombie dust a few times. One time I went to the brewery but the line to buy bottles was an hour long so I bailed. I found a single six tucked away in a beer store right down the street. Couldn't believe my luck. Turned out that non-fresh zombie dust is, at best, mediocre. I was really disappointed. The next time I got it fresh, straight from the brewery, bottled that week. Fantastic beer. One of my favorites. My point being, don't let those sit! Drink up!

Did Zombie Dust not get attention till later or something? I remember it being easy to get in the past. Only just realized reading this that I haven't seen it in quite awhile.

Just brushed up on my kombucha internet knowledge! It is full of B vitamins. It is full of anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants yes, but the B-vitamins is a myth, it has very little. Here is an analysis of various brews showing just that www.happyherbalist.com/analysis-of-a-kombucha-ferment/#Mineral_and_water_soluble_vitamin_content_in_the_Kombucha_drink_I really want to try some of the "sweet" Kombucha I keep hearing about but so far only had the sour-ish ones. That is a pretty decent site! Looks to me like the levels of B-vitamins they quote are higher than beer. I would think it's going to vary from brew to brew, and beer to beer. More yeast = more B-vitamins.

Really depends on the beer, but higher than the standard macro brews for sure (at least per ounce, not per serving). Are there any off the shelf kombucha you know of that is the shorter sweet style?

20 year old Taylor-Fladgate port tonight after working my ass off today. Watching Forged In Fire then crashing! First off, Jess got me loving Ports. I wish I knew how awesome they were in college when I had the money to spend on them regularly. Second we just started watching Forged in Fire the other day... so fucking awesome. My mother used to do some metal working stuff, had a setup for that and wood in our basement properly ventilated and all. I looked for lessons out here but closest to something legit is almost 400 dollars for intro to metal jewelry working.

I don't forge, (yet...) but I know a lot of competitors from the other forum I frequent, Bladeforums. It's a great show with a lot of bullshit and the judge Doug Marcaida has destroyed people's blades by using very improper technique, but as a Knifemaker I really can't complain too much about something that gets my hobby out!!
I'm no aficionado of ports, but when my divorce buddy offered me the bottle for helping her move I jumped on it. Everybody else turned their noses up at the bottle.

If I ever wind up living in a place that I could set up a DIY forge, I'd love to start learning.
Yeah ports caught me by surprise. My first experience was actually with a hookah where it was 50/50 with water and made the best hookah I ever smoked.

There is some shit brand out here called "Humm". It's soda pop sweet and probably filtered, maybe even pasteurized. I really like GT's gingeraide. Just enough sweetness...
