uh I got lazy and my kombucha is like wayyy sour

[tashantx]

So I brewed it before we left town july 1st and it's been there since whoa it's way sour. Reminds me of apple cider vinegar. I have 3 containers full (well besides what the scoby ''drank'' ) What can I do with it? I can't really stomach it. Can I put it with half tea? Water? Or juice? Will I still be getting the benefits? I so don't want to waste it. I've been drinking what I bottled before we left but this stuff is tart! Should my scobies be ok?

Yeah, use it the way you would use lemon juice - diluted in a beverage, or you can also use it like vinegar in a salad dressing. Your scobies are probably fine.

I usually dilute mine with water if I do that.

i hate it when i do that. i usually mix up some more sweet tea and mix the two in smaller drinking bottles, then let it sit a couple days till it tastes good.

I think that's what I'm gonna do I may experiment with some chamomille. At least I can use this batch to try out some flavors.

Use it as a hair rinse! I wash my hair with baking soda and ACV and I have been known to use overbrewed kombucha instead.

Okay I'm new to TF and all, and I am in total love with Komboucha : I have never made it b4 I have only bought it from my co-op, but can I ask what in the world are "Scobies"? Seriously do I want to know?
