RE: Kombucha Chronicles: Still Brewing and Expanding for Sales
You already have kombucha scobys... drop one in a jar of green tea sweetened with half honey, half sugar. Next batch go all honey for sweetening. Bang, you have a Jun scoby. Phenomenal taste. ;)
From my understanding that's just now how it works....you can get a product but it's not jun.
The bacterial and yeast strains are different between the two scobies which is what makes them different.
You'll find information like this on the web, and in my experience it's not correct. The only difference between a kombucha and Jun scoby is their adaption to black tea/sugar and green tea/honey. It only takes a few batches, as I noted above, and after that it's all jun. Were it a different combination of bacteria and yeast, it wouldn't work and would probably taste funny.
Since it tastes like heaven in a glass, I stand by the info of those who say "nope, it's the same scoby, just adapted." and it's delicious. ;)
I have heard of many people trying this and degrading their scoby as well though...this is one of those things that I'm just not sure on ha
Degrading their scoby? I didn't have it happen with my scobys... I only ended up with lots of healthy extras. ;) Only takes one jar to test it yourself.
Go be awesome! :D
