Been brewing Kombucha with great success starting with Big Momma SCOBY. After one week brewing I bottle with 1/2 to 1 cup added fruit juice, wait about one more week before refrigerating. My favorites: Local Organic Apple Juice, Mango, Pineapple, Dragon fruit, and even Pom Wonderful. When I started I was concerned about temperature and PH. Now two Gallons sit on a table without any fussing or heat pads. I spend about one hour a week processing the next batch. 100% good results for over 3 Months.

This wasn’t what I expected. When I purchased my all in one kit a while back with the regular scoby- that one was really thick it came split into 2. It did so well I thought I’d try the big momma. The color of the big momma is more pale and thin, liquid being really clear and more like vinegar. However it is a lot wider by far. It appears to be more of a baby than a “big momma” at least compared to the regular bag this brand sells. Very easy and simple to use. On the bag they give easy to read and understand instructions that are straight to the point. It smells great so it should taste great at the end of phase 1 and 2.So far it is not a huge value for my money, probably would have been better off with another bag of the regular one. Appearance wise, everything looks great. Performance wise, we will see.

Follow the instructions that come with the product and you should have no problem brewing great Kombucha at home. I use a continuous brew vessel with a heating pad from the vessel manufacturer to provide the right temperature for the brewing compared to the temperature in my house. Probably a very good idea to invest in some stick on temperature strips for the outside of the vessel you choose and some PH strips as well. There are lots of good videos out there about how to brew great Kombucha at home. I have watched many to refine my process. I would recommend the reader consider doing the same. Great product.

Just received this a couple of days ago and made my first batch today. I will update my post as the process runs its course. The SCOBY is big as described, looks very healthy, smells nice and is about 1/4 inch thick. Would highly recommend.

I trusted the "Classic Kombucha" description but it's not classic. After being 3 other modified cultures from other vendors. They have bee modfied to not produce alcohol to comply with regulations. This means you will never get a brew in 7-14 days with the same "Classic" taste. Mine after over 30 days was just as sweet as when it started. I finally called my brother that I gave a culture 20 years ago. Started fresh and a new scopy started forming in 4 days and completly brewed all sugar taste gone in 12 days. In the vendors defense, they are forced to comply with the following regulation.The specific U.S. regulation that pertains to the alcohol content in Kombucha is found in Title 27, Section 25.55 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). This regulation, issued by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), sets forth the requirements for the production and labeling of non-alcoholic beverages, including Kombucha.According to Section 25.55, non-alcoholic beverages that are produced using a traditional brewing process, such as Kombucha, must contain no more than 0.5% alcohol by volume (ABV) at any time, including after shipping. The regulation further states that if a non-alcoholic beverage exceeds 0.5% ABV, it must be labeled as an alcoholic beverage and comply with all applicable labeling and tax requirements for such products

I brewed Kombucha at home for years but gave up my SCOBYs when I opted to live on the road. I'm stationary for a bit and was sick of paying for Kombucha at the grocery store, so I ordered this and started a batch.I'm brewing in a 2.5 gallon continuous brew crock. I followed the instructions on the bag, and within a week, I had a beautiful new SCOBY covering the entire surface of the tea. The Kombucha was also at the correct PH within eight days. Impressive for the first round.This is an excellent product, and I would recommend it to anyone, especially folks who are new to brewing Kombucha.

I make my own kombucha and have so many scobys already, but several people have said such good things about Fermentaholics that I just had to see for myself. I ordered this Big Momma scoby and the other scoby with starter. Both are so healthy and happy! Big Momma is pretty good size, but the other one wasn't much smaller, maybe 2" less in diameter. I was glad to get such a big one! I use Fermentaholics black tea blend (great tea). I put both new scobys in their (separate) jars and they're happy as can be. Both floated to the top right off (that doesn't actually matter but I like when they do). The pH was 3.5 right away (that's good), and there is plenty of starter with each scoby. The packaging is very nice, the back of each even lists each step for first time brewers. The shipping is fast (for every product I've ordered from them). The review asked to rate temp so I gave it a 3, which is honest. That being said, I live on a mountain (literally) in MT so it's clearly going to be cold in March. I was concerned about the scobys being too cold during shipping but they weren't affected. I let them come to room temp before brewing is all. I def recommend any product from these guys, and look forward to anything I order from them in the future!

Not to happy with the fact that they show pictures of ph strips however they did not sent any. Had to take a leap and hope it works because I couldn’t test it.

Arrived really quickly, I bought this for the hubby, no idea if it is good BUT he is REALLY happy with it and has just told me it's done a poo! He has bought it a hotel and a heater and quite frankly has spent more time and his attention on it than he has on me 🤣 , brilliant product and fantastic service

Very good product and instructions were simple to follow. First batch came out better than expected (even the kids liked it) and getting ready to start on the second. Looking forward to experimenting with different types of teas as well.
