How can I make Kombucha Tea in a large amounts?
The following advice was contributed by Günther W. Frank of Germany. “When I began to produce larger batches for my family, I bought two large stainless pots of 15 quarts each. However, this is time consuming and expensive to boil, for instance, 30 quarts (I think it is about 7 gallons) for the tea. This brought me to this idea: To avoid boiling such large quantities of tea, make a tea concentrate, and dilute it with normal tap water. For instance, if you want to get 4 gallons of tea, just boil 1 gallon of water, but use the tea quantity for 4 gallons of tea. Thus you get a tea concentrate. Fill up with 3 gallons of tap water, so you get 4 gallons of tea as nutrition liquid for your Kombucha beverage. If you have pretty good, clean water, there should be no concern to use this method.” Please Note: If your water is treated with chemicals or contains bacterial contaminants, do not use tap water without boiling it first.
