Okay - this brought up the answer to a question I'd been carrying around but too lazy to google. I've read 'don't put the scoby in the fridge' but all of the kombucha's I've bought were already chilled. So now to see this box obviously not chilled... is there a better, worse temperature? 

Adult just mentioned one she tried - I finally found them online, in Maine. I'm thinking 'well, do they ship in refrigerated trucks like some of those meal plans I've bought? OR does it not matter? 

The bottled kombucha are scoby free, but if you leave it alone long enough a scoby might start to form from the bacteria and yeast floating in the tea. It’s in the fridge to slow down that process. I don’t know why alcoholic kombucha does not need refrigeration. I read alcohol kills the probiotics. That might be why boozy kombucha can be stored at room temperature. 

Ah, thank you. That's conflicting .. the higher the alcohol content the less probio. But I guess if you drink enough you don't care?  

That seems counterproductive. 

I know kombucha is extremely low in alcohol. But to super charge it... benefit??? 

It becomes more of a kombucha flavored alcoholic drink vs kombucha with a little bit of alcohol?  

❓ 

Ahhhhh, whatever sells.  

Hey ladies, this is the I found today: https://www.fermentory.com/bottled-products-1 It wasn’t super alcoholic (tho I got carded whoot) and it definitely was refrigerated. The taste was clean and interesting - but yeah the oak taste was pretty loud at the end. Bella was giving me a hard time lol but it tastes like how fresh cut wood smells? Herbaceous. I liked it, it was different. More of a drinky drink, less of a heath drink.  

Go ahead... ask her how she knows what oak tastes like. I dare ya. I gotta go google herbaceous now.  

Yay for not being carded❣️ Mmm... mead, kombucha and Jun!! Has anyone tried jun kombucha? The difference Is that it’s fermented with green tea and honey.  

Haha tastes like licking a tree... like how wheatgrass juice tastes like a freshly mowed lawn. 

...not that I’ve licked a tree but I’ve eaten with wooden chopsticks...same? 

Okay, Adult is chewing on oak & Moo is licking trees. And *I* am the wild one... hahaha
