It’s easy and pretty forgiving! I copied some notes from the old place’s kombucha sub:

Ingredients:

• 1 quart/4 Cups filtered water
• 1/4 Cup sugar
• Tea (3bags or 1Tbsp)
• Starter culture/kombucha 1-2 cups (2 cups for first time)

Brew the sweet tea. Let it cool until it reaches room temperature (below 90F/32C). Alternatively, brew a smaller batch of hot sweet tea and add cold water to bring it closer to room temperature. (~quart/4 cup volume)

Add the starter liquid (this can just be kombucha from the previous batch) in your brewing vessel (1.5 quart / 6 Cup volume)

Cover the vessel with a fine breathable cloth (or coffee filters) that will let air pass through but not bugs or dust. Most cheesecloth is not suitable as the holes are too big! Use a rubber band to secure the cloth tightly.

Leave it to sit in a warm corner of the house out of direct sunlight. Minimum recommended temperature is 65F/18C, with optimum around 80F/27C. After about a week, you can begin tasting it. Does it taste too sweet? Leave it alone for a while longer. Does it taste perfect? Bottling time! Brew time depends ENTIRELY on preference.

Bottle the kombucha, adding either fruit juice, fruit, or sugar (don’t use square bottles). This bottling process is also known as secondary fermentation or “2F” and will help create carbonation/fizz. If adding fruit juice, fill 10-20% of the bottle with juice and cover with kombucha. If adding sugar, start out with 1 teaspoon/4 grams per bottle (450mL/16oz), and adjust based on experimentation. If fruit - again, experiment, or check what other people have done by scrolling through the posts or checking the wiki article on flavoring. If you need flavour inspiration, check this chart. Remember to reserve some of your brew to use as starter liquid for your next batch.

Let the bottles sit at room temperature for anywhere between 1 and 7 days, to create enough fizz. It depends on amount of sugar, the strength of your kombucha etc. For more information about timing this process and avoiding bottle bombs, check the carbonation wiki article.

Refrigerate the finished bottles to stop the fermentation process and allow more CO2 to dissolve into the liquid

My first attempt at making kombucha seems to be going well and I’m excited about it!

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

Very cool! I hope they’re planting nuts, legumes, and herbs as well as fruit

Don’t let great be the enemy of good

Yeah like maybe programmers can relate with DBAs which can relate with System Admins but they’re all pretty different

Of they’re old enough to figure that out then who cares?

Further, it’s 50% of the people in the swing states that really decide things. I’m sure most New Yorkers and Californians that didn’t vote did so because they knew their state would go blue regardless.

The smartest house is designed with passive systems in mind. In the northern hemisphere the south and west are where you get hot summer sun. Deciduous trees planted on the southwest-west will block the summer evening sun, and then drop their leaves so you can still get winter sun.

There’s a set up but no punchline, have the panels gone missing??

It gets compacted in the garbage truck and compacted some more at the landfill. I think the odds are slim it could be found in one piece

*Allegedly

I guess I should have said “Ad hominem” instead of “mud slinging”, but the point is who cares what someone does in their off time while they’re delivering a truth

Or 3: it’s irrelevant mud slinging

Just as Putin planned

My local library also offers a thermal camera rental! I’ve borrowed one several times, it’s very useful!

For whoever needs to hear this: If this is happening and it’s negatively affecting your life then try and talk to a friend or someone about it. They may not be able to help but opening up and being honest about it can help keep you responsible to yourself.

I guess I should have specified Mario Kart 64. That’s the one I always think about first

Thank you, Neil deGrasse Tyson. I had no idea shooting a green shell couldn’t be done like in Mario Kart!
