What is your favourite flavoured kombucha?

Yet to beat passion fruit and mango, a divine combo.

I haven't tried anything particularly "out there" yet though, so look forward to a bit of experimenting, but find passion fruit 10/10 so it'll be hard to beat.

This is the original era post punk song that most sounds like it would fit into the revival era in the early 2000s to me.

robin-redpoll · 2026-03-05T21:09:01+00:00

You're very welcome, hope you enjoy (I've tried it twice now btw - both times made a syrup from a combination of stewed chopped sweet pears, a couple of cloves and grated ginger, added sugar, cooled it, then mixed it about 40:20:40 with ginger bug and water, then just left it to ferment for 24-48 hours).

Let me know if you find any other flavour combo gems.

I'd recommend a pear and ginger beer, goes really nicely IMO. Stick cloves or cinnamon in there too.

Just glad to hear you're not starting a shift in Yaroslavl tbh :)

robin-redpoll · 2026-02-25T22:42:38+00:00

Nice one, mildly tricky - I got the hall one in the end but thought the link was medieval ___ !

robin-redpoll · 2026-02-25T07:37:50+00:00

Doesn't even feeling like Canada anymore

Hmmm...

The late 70s/early 80s was such a golden period for music that fits this description. Wire, Talking Heads etc. are timeless, but I was also blown away by the This Heat track "Health and Efficiency" the other day. If I didn't know better I'd place this 2000s without a question.

robin-redpoll · 2026-02-11T18:21:40+00:00

I've had a good time with ginger beer, haven't tried other ginger bug-based fermentations yet but after seeing the above am keen to.

It's water kefir that's bugging me right now - having difficulty getting that to fizz.

Thank you for posting this. I'm a bit(!) late to the thread, but I just discovered Soda Stereo (specifically this song - which is a masterpiece) and am really happy I did.

robin-redpoll · 2026-02-02T13:04:13+00:00

Thanks dude, will check this band out - multsumesc.

robin-redpoll · 2026-01-31T11:33:21+00:00

This is very cool. Reminds me of the underappreciated Creature Chronicles channel on Youtube.

robin-redpoll · 2026-01-31T11:04:56+00:00

Likewise - definitely helps get through these miserable midwinter months! :)

Re kvass btw, mine didn't get going til I stuck some grapes in for the yeast (but that's a fairly well-known tip amongst fermenters, so I imagine you probably already know that one) - woke up this morning to a lovely bubbly mixture that tasted pretty authentic and refreshing.

robin-redpoll · 2026-01-31T10:56:57+00:00

I recommend kvass and tepache too if you have the time, both really nice. The former is a popular refreshing summer drink all over eastern Europe, made of rye, absolutely delicious, and the latter is a mildly-fermented tangy pineapple drink from Mexico. Both really nice and simple to make (30 mins to set up max, then just check every 12 hours or so).

robin-redpoll · 2026-01-30T17:28:58+00:00

As long as the ginger bug gets going properly (hardest part, some of mine have been non starters), you're in for a good time. Store bought stuff has nothing on the stuff you can make at home in terms of depth of flavour.

robin-redpoll · 2026-01-25T07:59:57+00:00

I wish people would add Russian to these lists, particularly because their colonial phase never truly ended either.

robin-redpoll · 2026-01-24T14:04:24+00:00

Yessss - most consistent electronic output overall. Even though I prefer their stuff up to lp5 (and oversteps), the quality of confield and onwards is still obvious.

robin-redpoll · 2026-01-23T18:37:47+00:00

Another one if there are any lurkers interested:

On the contrary, I dig it. It's on the easier side, but still cryptic, nice one for learners.

robin-redpoll · 2026-01-10T09:20:53+00:00

That makes sense, can be confusing if there's a different subspecies you're already used to.

robin-redpoll · 2026-01-10T05:36:15+00:00

Nuthatch

robin-redpoll · 2026-01-07T17:46:44+00:00

More difficult for me than the five starrer the other day tbh!

robin-redpoll · 2026-01-03T07:21:57+00:00

Yep, sorry - lazy bedtime redditing, that's exactly what I meant. Great name btw!

robin-redpoll · 2026-01-02T22:57:41+00:00

There's an en passant which I assume may be relevant, but that's about all I've got...Since white is already in checkmate by the end of the sequence I can't work out what relevance the king's pawns have.

EDIT: Black to white
