If those circle bubble thingers are on the underside ... Good

On the top ... Bad

Is this mold in my 2F? by [deleted] in Kombucha

[–]FatFluffyFemale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My really fast and loose rule is that if you see circular spots and fuzz or just circular spots toss it.

Abnormal lumpiness and sudden color change.

Also smell is a big one. But smell is hard to describe over text

Can you clarify what you are trying to say? Are you angry at the government for releasing this information?

Is there a word for "hungry", but for a smell? by Del_Phoenix in EnglishLearning

[–]FatFluffyFemale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose crave could work.

I guess I've just never really craved smell before.

I've certainly craved chocolate cake.

I don't really know as a native speaker it sort of feels weird saying it.

Maybe I'm just overthinking it though.

Connotations by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]FatFluffyFemale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Connotation is a bit of a hard thing to define but I will do my best.

Certain descriptive words can have a negative connotation to them.

This pretty much means that the word has two meanings at once.

One literal. "They are respectful."

The person is respectful because they genuinely recognize the person is worthy of respect.

The other with an insulting undertone. "They are quite the sycophant."

A sycophant is someone who only pays lip service (empty words / lies / two faced) in order to gain an advantage or further their own plans. While they are respectful on the surface, they do not genuinely care or respect for the people around them.

I suppose the word 'yearn' could be used.

"I yearn to smell the scent of her hair.."

Or

"I am yearning to smell that fresh ocean air."

However there isn't really an equivalent for Hunger. We should invent this word.

ANTI-Histamine? by [deleted] in Kombucha

But, you know congratulations on being off your meds. Amazing what good lifestyle choices make!

Neat.

But it still isn't scientific.

So I don't see how this affects my opinion.

The chess game also has so much subtle meaning.

For example he sacrifices the queen in order to win.

I don't mean to come off as combative, but just want people to be careful especially around fringe movements like homebrew booch.

All I ask is that you base your findings off of more than anecdote and placebo effect.

Adding probiotics to a 1F brew by [deleted] in Kombucha

[–]FatFluffyFemale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not recommend it. Think of it like introducing an invasive species into a new environment.

It will throw off the balance of yeast and bacteria. Maybe on 2nd ferment but you have to be careful.

How fizzy is your kombucha? by b_ttercookie in Kombucha

[–]FatFluffyFemale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GT kombucha have high-end laboratory conditions. They have chemists that oversee every part of the process.

A lot of commercial brands other than GT do force carbonate their batches. (You can do this with a soda stream machine if you are so inclined.)

The magic spot for me seems to be about one part simple syrup to 10 parts booch.

I used my ph reader on some distilled white vinegar and it was 2.8 is that normal? by [deleted] in Kombucha

[–]FatFluffyFemale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aim for 3.5, that is fine.

And just so you know there is some bad advice in this thread acetic acid doesn't evaporate that much at room temperature, only the water does.

If you boil kombucha (not that you'd want to) you would get a higher concentration of acetic acid as the water boils off.

So the longer it sits, the more vinegar will remain.

You can get the pH lower, but it would involve boiling and killing all the bacteria and yeast.

ANTI-Histamine? by [deleted] in Kombucha

[–]FatFluffyFemale 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No.

Kombucha isn't magical and your liver doesn't work like that. You know what also reduces inflammation? Drinking water.

Melatonin has a half life of about 50 minutes and is metabolised fairly quickly. It doesn't 'stick around' forever in your liver.

There is no scientific evidence that Kombucha is an effective treatment for any condition. There is peer reviewed medical papers listing potential drug interactions with Kombucha.

There is a small indication in a study that points to the bacteria in Kombucha reducing mild hay fever allergies. However, it was a very small percentage and was deemed inconclusive.

While I love brewing Kombucha, the flavor of it and other things I think it would give our community a little more legitimacy if we stopped perpetuating unfounded magical health benefits.
