Are you Brewing the Booch yet?

We'll tell you how to keep your baby warm in the newsletter later on....

HAve you tried our FLU SHOT yet?

Our favourite Tonic artisans, EXTREMELY ALIVE, combine YEARS OF RESEARCH in MEDICAL SCIENCE with ANCIENT BREWING TECHNIQUES to PRODUCE KICK-ASS WELLNESS TONICS that actually feel SO ALIVE.  200 strains of microbial magic in every bottle. 🙂

THE FLU SHOT for example (packed with 11 scientifically proven antiviral herbs) is designed to fortify your defenses against viruses.

MADE WITH THE SAME ANCESTRAL SCOBY AS ALL OUR LIVING KOMBUCHA, THE EXTREMELY ALIVE TONICS PACK A PUNCH AGAINST COLDs & FLUs.

MULLED KOMBUCHA

This has been the biggest hit at our farmers markets lately.  You can get all the ingredients PACKAGING FREE for this (including the kombucha) at any Bulk Source Wholefoods in Australia too.

OUR SIMPLE MULLED Kombucha RECIPE MAKES A
BOOCH-IFUL NON-ALCOHOLIC VERSION OF THIS WINTER FAVOURITE. 

GENTLY DRY HEAT A FEW STAR ANISE,
A STICK OR TWO OF CINNAMON,
A PINCH OF NUTMEG POWDER, A FEW CLOVES AND A QUARTER CUP OF SUGAR IN A SAUCEPAN.

AS YOUR SUGAR CARAMELISES, GENTLY POUR IN A CUP OF WATER, STIR CONTINUOUSLY. CHECK FOR SWEETNESS, ADD A LITTLE MORE SUGAR IF NEEDED, SIMMER AND ENJOY THOSE GORGEOUS AROMATICS. 
 
ONCE SUGAR IS COMPLETELY DISSOLVED, TAKE YOUR MIXTURE OFF THE HEAT, AND LET IT COOL. A FEW ORANGE SLICES POPPED IN FOR COLOUR & A LITTLE FLAVOUR TOO. 

BE CAREFUL, YOU'LL KILL YOUR LIVING KOMBUCHA IF YOU ADD IT TO A HOT MIXTURE! ONCE IT'S BELOW 50 DEGREES CELSIUS, POUR IN YOUR OWN HOMEBREW, OR ONE OF THE GOODBREW'S LIVING KOMBUCHA.

Then endeavor to keep the brew at 40degrees or a bit over...

WE RECOMMEND THE HIBISCUS, GINGER & LEMONGRASS KOMBUCHA.  THE PERFECT FLAVOUR MATCH FOR A THIS WINTERY, COMFORTING BREW. 

WHERE YOU PLACE YOUR
FERMENTER MATTERS. 

Tune into Symbiosis!!!  THE COLD PLACE INSIDE makes THE WARM PLACE OUTSIDE!! 🙂

PLACE YOUR FERMENTATION JAR ON TOP OF THE FRIDGE, OR ON A SHELF ABOVE YOUR FRIDGE, THE HEAT THAT RISES FROM THE back of the fridge PROVIDES A WARM SPACE FOR YOUR SCOBY TO thrive. 
WRAPPING THE FERMENTATION JAR IN A THICK BLANKET ADDS AN EXTRA LAYER OF INSULATION.  

THE HOT WATER SYSTEM;
IT'S WORTH HUNTING DOWN THAT MYSTERIOUS CUPBOARD IN YOUR HOUSE. IT PROVIDES WARMTH NOT JUST FOR TOASTY WINTER SHOWERS, BUT FOR YOUR SCOBY TOO. POP YOUR FERMENTATION STATION IN THAT WARM LITTLE SPACE near i.  MAKE SURE THE OPENING OF THE JAR IS STILL able to breathe and COVERED BY A BREATHABLE, DUST-DEFYING CLOTH.

THE MOMENT WHEN WE HAVE TO BE MOST CAREFUL ABOUT THE THERMOSTAT IS JUST AFTER FEEDING YOUR SCOBY. THE BACTERIA THAT EMERGE TO EAT AND FERMENT YOUR KOMBUCHA MATTERS! GOOD BACTERIA GROW IN A WARM ENVIRONMENT, AND BAD BACTERIA LOVE THE COLD. HERE ARE OUR TIPS FOR THE BEST SPOTS IN YOUR HOME FOR A WINTER READY HOME BREWING SET UP.
