Equipment in the kit may appear different than pictured. ABOUT THE STARTER CULTURE Our Dehydrated Kombucha Starter Culture is perfect for the “Laid back brewer” type. Rehydrating the SCOBY takes about 4 weeks and allows those new to kombucha brewing to get the process underway. The rehydration process is fun to watch and a great way to learn about fermentation! When your dehydrated SCOBY arrives, you do not have to get started right away - simply store in the refrigerator until you’re ready to go! A dehydrated SCOBY is a great addition to any larder or canned goods storage. Once you are ready, our continuous brew jar will allow you to make endless kombucha for as long as you keep feeding your SCOBY, saving you both time and money. ASSEMBLING CONTINUOUS BREW JAR 1. Unscrew the nut from the back of the spigot. 2. Place silver washer onto the spigot followed by the rubber grommet. These 2 pieces should align flush against the front of the spigot. 3. Insert the spigot into the hole of the jar. 4. From the inside of the jar, place second rubber grommet and silver washer onto the spigot. If done correctly both of your rubber grommets should be flush against the glass. 5. Take the nut and screw it back onto the spigot from the inside of the jar so that it sits flush with the silver washer. 6. Tighten your assembly by holding the nut and rotating the spigot until it no longer tightens. 7. Sanitize your jar by rinsing it out with soap and water to avoid contamination in future brews.
