For anyone who wants to try grape juice, I use one with 15.6g sugar / 100ml, and I use 50ml of the juice in 500ml bottles, then I top them up with kombucha. That means the total sugar per bottle is 7.6g, you can try using between 5-8g, depending on the amount of carbonation you want.

I find at this sugar level, leaving them for 3 days in 25-28c yields a perfect level of effervescence.

The taste is great, reminds me of sparkling wine.

So I've been feeding my ginger bug for four days now, and the first two days it was bubbling nicely, then slowed down.

Is this normal? Does it mean its ready to make ginger beer with?

Update: if anyone stumbles across this, I just kept stirring it and fed it like normal, and today its bubbling a lot! So seems to be okay.

What is Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead?

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is a open-source turn-based survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world. It is often described as a "zombie game", but there is much more to it than just zombies.

The game is procedurally generated, which means that each playthrough is unique, and it features RPG-like skill progression system and is often considered as an epitome of a modern roguelike.

It's notable for its high level of difficulty and its emphasis on realism, and you must manage attributes like hunger, thirst, and fatigue, as well as deal with injuries and illnesses. However, I would say it is well worth the investment to learn this game. See you over there!

So I accidentally used a lot of ginger for my starter ginger bug, maybe 7-10cm or so, and topped it up with sugar and water. I didn't measure the sugar in grams and eyeballed it, but counted 10 tablespoons. I used about 6-7 cups of water to top it up.

Do I have to feed it more sugar and ginger daily, or can I simply leave it for a week?

I have some ginger left if needed, but it doesn't have any peel on it left.

Thanks in advance!

So as the title states, what are the benefits and downsides to each? On one hand, subscribing all from one instance (i.e this one), is most convinient, but on the other hand, if the instance goes offline / shuts down etc then I'm SOOL.

What would be the easiest way to transfer subscriptions across instances?

Hope to see you there =)

I noticed the lack of a kombucha community, so I made one. Hope to see yall there if you like fermenting kombucha :)

So I tried making Kombucha (Apple Cider Vinegar? Not sure what to call it) using only two ingredients: apple juice, and my kombucha culture.

Recipe:

• Like 3.6L or so of apple juice
• 400ml Kombucha starter

Add both ingredients in a sanitized (use StarSan or similar) glass jar, let sit for 3 days then begin tasting until it to your liking. When its reached that level, bottle and let it carbonate for about 3-4 days.

To my surprise, it worked absolutely fantastic! Not only does the kombucha culture seem to thrive in the apple juice base (ferments quicker than normal for some reason), but the end product is delicious. A nice mix between sweet apple juice and tart apple cider vinegar while having a light carbonation.

10/10 would recommend.
