Kombucha

Brewing kombucha at home is the fastest way to trade $5 store-bought bottles for a pennies-per-glass, perfectly customized drink. All it takes is tea, sugar, water, a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast), and about two weeks. Once you're set up, you can keep a continuous brew going indefinitely and flavor every bottle to taste.

iMadeBeer stocks everything a home kombucha setup needs: live SCOBYs and starter liquid, glass brewing jars (1-gallon and 2.5-gallon), cloth covers and bands, pH strips, flip-top flavoring bottles, and the organic black, green, and oolong teas that make the best base. For homesteaders stepping up, we also carry continuous-brew systems with spigots for easy bottling.

New to kombucha? Start with a 1-gallon batch, a black-tea-plus-sugar primary, and a week of secondary fermentation with fruit or ginger for fizz. Watch your SCOBY grow with each batch — mature SCOBYs can be split and shared or passed to friends starting their own brews. Ships fast from Terre Haute, Indiana. Questions? Our team brews at home and is glad to help you troubleshoot.
