Girl. I can't believe this channel exists. You seem so friendly and genuinely willing to help vs. showing off/bragging what you know. The format is gorgeous, too. Thank you so much!

Your videos are legit. Straight and to the point. I love it. You don’t bore with this giant unnecessary back story. Thank you!

taking a page out of beer homebrewers book it is said that too little headspace can contribute to the possibility of explosions. because liquid is non compressable but air is, so when the pressure increases that headspace can give room for pressure but if it is completely filled up the co2 has no where to go and the liquid wont compress so it just pops (potentially)

I love Kombucha, my wife knew that & got me a Kombucha home brewing starter kit for Valentine's day. Since then, I've been astounded at how excited I've been about the whole process, my first (first) fermentation is about half-way through, and I've already excitedly gone and bought some nice bottles for second fermentation, an electronic pH meter so I don't have to worry about running out of litmus paper, some extra thermometer strips and even a gallon jar of pickles to eat (yum) and then use the jar so I can brew two batches of Kombucha at once. Thanks for your videos - trying to soak them up and learn about brewing all around. Really appreciate your channel & also just want to express my love of Kombucha. It seems to be a rather acquired taste, or a 'you either like it or you don't' type of thing... Like black liquorice? With my first (and future) batches of Kombucha, I'm kind of hoping for a Kombucha with a bit more of a bite to it than store-bought Kombucha.
