Full Disclosure

 

Hi - I'm Hannah Crum, The Kombucha Mamma and I sell Kombucha cultures and brewing supplies online at www.KombuchaKamp.com  No other companies are permitted to sell their wares to the KommUnity.  You are welcome to share your extra cultures in the SCOBY Exchange Forum, but may not charge more than the cost of postage. 

 

HOWEVER, if you teach a fermentation class and would like to promote it here, by all means, please do so, even if you charge a fee.  I'd like others to set up their own Kombucha Klatches in their own communities so that we continue to spread the word about Kombucha tea and its many wonderful health benefits.

黑水龍年 Hei Shui Long Nian
Black Water Dragon Year


Black Water Dragon Year 2012

The Chinese New year has arrived! The year of the Black Water Dragon couldn't have had a more auspicious start here in sunny SoCal. Rain in the desert is always a blessing and it poured down buckets.

Having majored in Chinese and lived abroad in Taiwan, I have a special love in my heart for the Chinese culture and traditions. The Chinese culture has placed a high importance on harmony in nature through Feng Shui, harmony with the body in Traditional Chinese Medicine and harmony with the cosmos by following a Solilunar Calendar.

The Chinese first adopted the Gregorian calendar for business and day to day interactions in 1928, but for holidays, the solilunar calendar indicates when they will be celebrated. It consists of 10 Celestial Stems & 12 Earthly Branches.

Moreover each Stem is also assigned an element. The entire system repeats itself every 60 years (sexagenary cycle). Archaeological evidence suggests that some form of this calendar has been in use for nearly 5000 years!

CB is working out very well

Well, it's been almost a month now and continuous brewing is working out very well. My wife is drinking her strawberry kombucha. I'm making about a quart a week for her. I'm drinking a few ounces in the morning and evening mixed with water straight from the brewer. My dogs are getting a a couple of ounces each over their food in the morning. So I've added to the brewer a few times already and I have two baby scobys forming. I've given one of the two original scobys to my friend since I figured…See More

Thanks Hannah, it's good to know that I'm not damaging my scoby by letting it go for these last 3 and a half weeks. Thanks for taking the time to respond!

You can go as long as you like. I've let some go for ages and have tasted really sour brews but they don't tend to be the ones that I like to drink. I use it for hair tonic. Experimentation is one of the fun parts of Kombucha. You may…
