Kombucha!: The Amazing Probiotic Tea that Cleanses, Heals, Energizes, and Detoxifies Kindle Edition

I read this book cover to cover while I was brewing my first batch of Kombucha. I could not put it down! It was fascinating, full of interesting details and geeky tips. A very funny, entertaining and easy read for someone like me, who likes to learn WHY rather than just HOW to do something. I am hooked!

Supplement this book with others since this is so silly, with pictures that are comic book, super hero style! Some people might like this. And the writing style is for kids! The instructional info in it could fill about 1/4 of the book, not including the recipes. It was helpful, but if I took it out of the library, I could have just photo copied the relevant pages, since there are only a few. The couple who wrote the book along with the company they have are awesome, however! I have emailed them questions that are not covered in the book and received much more comprensive answers.

No need to get any other books on making kombucha, it is all it this nicely written and illustrated book. The authors are obviously very knowledgable about the subject but more importantly, they are very good at communicating their knowledge in writing. It is a delight to read and if you follow the detailed instructions you will succeed in making excellent kombucha -- at least I did on my first try. They even tell you great things to do with the SCOBY that is left behind. Highly recommended.

Just received today, & I'm fairly new to this. I tried this years ago, & back then (probably about 1993-1994-ish) I don't think there was much info out there on how to flavor it, what all the health benefits are, etc...I had no idea that you could flavor the tea or cook with the tea &/or SCOBY. When I ran across the SCOBY's on Amazon by "accident" I decided to try this again. I have 1 SCOBY fermenting-on day 7 right now, & then ran across this book the other day. It is a really great book-I am like the other reviewer Erin S. as I like to know why something is done a certain way/how things work, & this explains everything from how the fermenting process works, to what you need to get started as well as moving on to more advanced fermenting/flavoring/making it an alcoholic yummy, lots of recipes too. It's not boring at all, in fact I am already on chapter 6, & I just started reading tonite. It's a very, very easy read, funny & super informative! I don't think I need any other book to learn about making this tea--love this book!! I'm glad I ran across it. I will also be checking out the author's website to order some supplies as I get into more advanced brewing.Get this book especially if you're just starting out like me---you won't be sorry!

Great writing! He uses a sense of humor and makes the science of brewing approachable. It includes tons of relevant info, fun recipes, and ways to use kombucha that I never considered the. He explained how my previous batch went wrong! Now i feel like a pro. Saving so much money—going from $3-4 per bottle to $.50 per bottle. A go-to for all new ‘botch home brewers.

Let me start by saying this book should be on everyone's Kombucha bookshelf! It is an excellent beginner’s book!!Here is where my problem lies. When reading the description it clearly saysThe complete guide to kombucha— the wildly popular probiotic tea.This book is not a complete guide it is a complete beginner’s guide. I bought this book thinking it wasGoing to tell me how to test and control the balance of my brews (bacteria VS. Yeast) and it did not.I contacted Eric Childs and he was quick to respond. He told me he actually wrote a more advancedSection and his editor took that out. Too bad for us our loss.Happy Brewing

I'd call this book 50 Ways to Love your Scoby! So many recipes for using your scoby as it grows and needs to be divided. Full of detailed information on brewing, bottling and using Kombucha Tea. I'm impressed. This book is packed full of good things.

I have been enjoying the info in this book, very informative and helpful. These guys are awesome! The customer service is great they are patient at answering your "buch" related questions. Great products I have their 1 gal kit and just ordered their 3 gal kit as well and will be ordering more stuff from them soon! The absolute best "buch" home brew supplier out there period!

This book is all you need! Knowledgeable, funny and interesting! I read many kombucha books but this is hands down the best one!

Amazingly brilliant book. Loving it and inspired. If you want to learn how to brew Kombucha, this is a good place to start.

Dieses Buch ist alles was man als Einsteiger in die Welt der Fermentation braucht!Wer ein wenig Englisch drauf hat, kann dieses Buch problemlos lesen und obendrein lernt man dann noch eine Menge.Man bekommt das ganze fundierte Basiswissen zur Herstellung von Kombucha, alle Fragen werden abgedeckt, zudem gibt es viele Vertiefungsmöglichkeiten und Möglichkeiten seinen Kombucha zu individualisieren.Man kann das Buch in wenigen Tagen durcharbeiten und dann direkt anfangen. Habe jetzt schon meinen 5. Ansatz hergestellt und bin immer wieder fasziniert.
