We are now brewing 35 grams of Tie Kwan Yin Oolong in a gallon of distilled water. After steeping 30 minutes we transfer it to our big jar with 1 2/3 cups of sugar. After letting it cool we’ll add 2 cups of starter buch and transfer the SCOBY.

We harvested this on 11/21 and flavored it with 1/3 cup fresh apple puree and 1/2 tbsp of sugar. Becky picked us some apples from a friend’s winery. Most of our summer kombucha has been with fresh local fruit thanks to Becky! We’ll try this after 2 days in 2nd fermentation.

This did not fizz up as quickly as we thought it would. We ended up letting it go a full week.
