[Hope]

Hope, I'm just really wondering if it will work. I will definitely unsubscribe later and post a photo

Suddenly a mischievous granny will sell the wrong zoogle

No, mean grannies have him real, do not even hesitate

tree-sticks, but how to distinguish them on the market? Suddenly a harmful granny will sell the wrong zoogley ?? and then I will be afraid to drink ...

Not so long ago, a girl came to my town from Odintsovo, I shared Kombucha with her, for free, she brought me her baked goods as a present. Maybe someone else lives nearby and there is a mushroom ..... look!

Place an ad in the local newspaper "BUY" and a lot of people will respond. I just bought it from an ad in the local newspaper Dmitrov, they immediately replied with a proposal

[Kolibri]

My mushroom has been living since 2008. In winter, I do the same as Kolibri- I change the solution after 2-3 months. At the same time, a 3-liter jar is in the pantry where the temperature in winter sometimes drops to 7-8 ° C. In the spring I start feeding normally again. Sometimes the old mushroom, after hibernation, heals itself and floats up, and sometimes not. Then, after a few days, a new one begins to grow on the surface - a translucent milky film appears. The new mushroom is very thin, so it is undesirable to manipulate it - it breaks. I do this: I do not transplant it and do not "harvest" until the new mushroom grows fat (ie, its thickness is already such that you can safely take it with your hand and it will not break). But at the same time I feed him further. Every 3-4 days I brew fresh tea (sometimes I use tea in bags, mushroom has not yet complained), add a little more sugar than usual, cool it down, gently tilt the jar and very slowly and carefullyin order not to raise sediments from the bottom, I pour out some of the old tea (about half) and also slowly and carefully pouring new tea. I hold the jar at an angle and pour the tea onto the wall of the jar so as not to damage the mushroom film and not raise the dregs. When the mushroom gets fat, follow the instructions. Admin.

Girls who need a mushroom, I live in Altushka. I will share.

and I drink all year round. I have it for a week. Some say that he already hisses when poured, but I have never had this

Maybe you put a little sugar?

I tried as best I could, but it's still hard to see ... lies with the uneven side up. it is very ribbed, only the highest "ribs" are visible in 1 photo. I tried to turn it over when I changed the tea for him - I stood on my side and went back to bed in the same way. the tea is lighter than in the photo, otherwise it was impossible to see anything at all. on the 2nd photo, one break is visible (on the left), in fact there is more in the center, more, but it is visible only if the mushroom is moved, she did not do it. maybe repeat the photo session while swimming? I read about the dishes late, lives in a half-filled 3L jar

[Azeta]

Azeta, Alla, thanks for the info!
So I'll try, now I have it very thin, I mixed tea + drink and put it in the jar on February 5, I'm waiting ....
I understand that until it becomes 0.5-1 cm thick, it is better not to move it at all, right?
And do not pour anything yet ... let it grow stronger and fatter.

[s-foxy]

s-foxy, You have a wonderful, healthy mushroom, from below it should have a "non-comprehensible", that's what he writes about Admin
- the bottom layer, torn, dirty, ugly.
The bottom layer is the “kitchen itself” of the kombucha! The lower layer is also called "beard".

I'm worried that I'm trying to go down, the ugly layer on top (I didn't want to turn over), it also broke ... and my husband teases, says that I have he definitely won't survive trying to understand if everything is all right with him

(did not want to roll over)

, and he shouldn't roll over (we don't walk upside down)

trying to figure out if everything is okay with him

he is OK!

and my husband teases, says that he definitely will not survive with me

husband trolls you

Thank you, I'll try to be patient and give him time to grow a beard and new layers) with such trolling, he simply must survive

: mail1: can you put a little sugar?

5-7 rounded tablespoons .. I think ok

A normal mushroom .. I also have one, I recently gave it out to people with a beard, I left a new one for myself, it works for 3 liters, it’s tasty .. I make it with green tea, then with black tea ... I also searched for a long time and barely found .. , when a neighbor grows, and she distributes at her factory, people always take with pleasure

[Trishka]

Trishka Ksyusha, please, just did not understand what drink you mixed with tea? It is imperative to feed him. A few days after feeding, the tea in the jar brightens because the mushroom "ate" the sugar and converted it into acid. Have you noticed how tea brightens if you add lemon to it? So the tea in the jar brightened from the acid. Therefore, part of the sour tea (about half or a little more) must be poured out and sweet tea added. And since the mushroom is still weak and thin and can hardly stay on the surface, therefore I pour the tea very carefully: bending the jar so that the tea poured in a trickle trickle down the wall of the jar. A large jet can "send him to the bottom." I add a little more sugar, then the mushroom has enough food for more days and it should be disturbed (fed) less often. And so on until he gets stronger. And when I do the cleaning at an adult mushroom, I leave a small part of the old tea, filter it through cheesecloth and pour it into a clean jar together with the new tea. Then the mushroom rises to the surface faster than when we pour only new tea.

even when I do the cleaning at an adult mushroom, I leave a small part of the old tea, filter it through cheesecloth and pour it into a clean jar together with the new tea. Then the mushroom rises to the surface faster than when we pour only new tea.

I always do this too

I've been reading here. And I felt so sorry for my mushroom. And I already have him with many children, he is about 7. The poor man is sitting in a 3-liter jar. I haven't been drinking it for several years now, I don't like it. I start, and then ... I change him about once every six months or less. The liquid was slightly at the bottom.
I put it in a basin and washed it. And there are already 10 thick pancakes and 2 thin ones. Brewed tea with dried mint chill. I put more sugar (I decided to cajole) and divided it into 2 cans. It's a pity to throw it out, and so much is a lot for me I will give an announcement on the city forum, maybe anyone needs it.

The drink should be delicious. Peppermint is cold in the throat

How does a mushroom treat mint?
Although, I feed my pancakes and honey, instead of sugar, I use green tea.
Green tea tastes different.
I have 2 cans. I use acidified bread for rye bread. It turns out nice bread

I used to brew both mint and healthy herbs. If you drain it on time, it's delicious. And the mushroom probably also likes it, since it is still alive with me and grows without leaving.

I stood for six months. And he lives. This little animal loves sweets.

Maybe I'll start drinking again. I just try not to eat a lot of sweets. And then sugar is not sickly, count 10 grams per 100 ml.

You can reduce sugar to 70 grams per liter. Sugar is needed for the nutrition and life of the fungus

[Azeta]

Azeta, thanks for the answer!
I, as they wrote here, mixed the ready-made infusion of kombucha and freshly prepared sweet gulls, and it already began to grow on top of me, a thin, white film appeared.
For now, I’m afraid to touch her, suddenly she will drown.
And you write that you still need to "feed" her, right?
Oh, faq, I'm afraid ....
I'll try to post a photo, and you write pzhl. Can this already feed or not? Okay?

And I flooded it at night, and today I'm already drinking. Nice sour.

Here he is what a "reindeer"
[/ url
Somewhere 1-2 mm thick ...

The announcement was given on 2 forums, no one needs a couple.

[Trishka]

Trishka, Ksyusha, do not touch him for 10 days, it will still grow, he is growing so imperceptibly quickly

[Trishka]

Trishka Ksyusha, you can leave him as he writes mowgli, days by 10. And if you want to speed up its growth, then it is imperative to feed it. Dissolve 2-2.5 tsp in a glass of fresh tea. sugar and, bending the jar, carefully pour the tea so that it flows in a thin stream along the wall of the jar. Do not be afraid, after a couple of days he will get fat, and then according to the instructions Admin... And a soda factory will grow in your bank.

[Azeta]

Azeta, Thank you !

[Nutrition for the mushroom and its development is medium brew tea and sugar (honey)]

Girls, a lot of sugar and honey is contraindicated for the mushroom, this can also kill the mushroom!
Therefore, take the norm of sugar 70-100 grams (and no more !!!!) per 1 liter of tea. It is medium brewed tea !!!! Nutrition for the mushroom and its development is medium brew tea and sugar (honey)
Therefore, calculate the amount of tea and sugar for this amount, even if there is a mushroom in a glass or small jar and feed it periodically once a week.

Girls, if anyone can share a tea mushroom with Natasha from Stakhanov (now she is in Gubkin, Belgorod Region), write me a PM.

And my experiment began. I finally bought rose hips and poured boiling water over them. Let's see what happens. So on April 13th I open and look into the thermos. In case of failure, I will look for a ready-made one by the summer.

[mowgli]

mowgli, Natasha thanks for the advice!
I still will not touch it yet, let it grow a little, small ...

Pour no more than a liter of liquid for now

[mowgli]

mowgli, Natasha is ok!

While the experiment continues, they brought me a ready-made mushroom. It didn't take long to search, you just had to tell about your desire at work
I washed and prepared a house for him. Strange, but the torn off layer did not sink to the bottom, but floats on the surface. I will continue to watch. I wanted to insert a photo, but it does not work from the phone. I uploaded it to the gallery, though they got up sideways and the computer was dead

Exactly a month has passed. It grows by leaps and bounds. I have already said thanks to the hostess a million times. She shared it with me from the bottom of her heart. But the problem is that we don't have time to drink it. Already add to the bread. In general, I am surprised that it insists so quickly. Can slow down its growth somehow

and I have a very slow week and more up to 10-14 days

[lyudmia]

lyudmia, Lyudmil, at the beginning of the topic, one of the girls advised the mushroom, if not the mushroom, to "immerse" in hibernation like a bear.
That is, for 1 liter of water, not 70-100g. sugar, and 2 tbsp. l., and change once a month.
But this is for the winter, and closer to the summer again everything is as it should, and here I even don’t know.
Maybe someone else will write something.

[Natalia]

Natalia, during this time I will already have vinegar for sure
I fill it with two liters and put three and a half tablespoons of sugar per liter. I specially weighed this spoon - 20-22 grams of sugar. It turns out that there is not a lot of sugar either. On the third day already hiss. Now I got used to it like this: we drink a liter and pour in a liter and do not need to insist, but immediately the next day we start drinking. I don’t know how the mistress made him so Miracles right ... I noticed right away, usually when you separate him, he gets a little sick and can even lie down on the bottom, but this one behaved like he was not injured at all.

My experiment also came to an end. I post a photo on purpose. I don’t know where from whom what was born from the rosehip infusion, but I’m empty
There is not even a hint of anything that has arisen. The usual infusion and no more. So we look for friends and drink to health

[lyudmia]

lyudmia, and did not even turn sour and rotted? By sight - you can drink, another myth dispelled Thanks for the experiment

[Hope]

Hope, there is not even a hint of sourness and decay. But of course I didn't drink it

Admin honey! I don't have kombucha, maybe I won't. Never mind. But I get crazy pleasure reading ROMAN TIPS !!!!! Thank you, my dear, for the fact that you are, for helping the kitchen "ignoramuses" like me, to master the kitchen spaces. Thank you for meeting on this site !!! THANKS a thousand times !!!!

[Larissa]

Larissa, from such an abundance of bright words, you can get confused, which I did after reading the text
THANKS, dear, for such gentle and kind words!

Tanya, I don't really like the behavior of my mushroom. They brought him a couple of months ago, scary, sick, floating at the bottom of a sour "swamp". Washed, caressed, ... He rose from the bottom, drink, though not quickly, but makes. There is almost no gain.
Recently, a thin bottom layer came off, but so terrible and skinny that I did not even preserve it (which I now regret).
I brew 1 tbsp for 2.5 liters of water. l. tea, 250 g of sugar. The neighbor's grandmother says. that you can't feed him with fresh tea, you only need to brew a sleeping woman, but I don't like this advice at all ... Can he be prevented with green tea?

[Natasha]

The neighbor's grandmother says. that you can't feed him with fresh tea, you only need to brew a sleeping one, but I don't like this advice at all ... Can he be prevented with green tea?

Natasha, wave your hand to your grandmother and brew the mushroom with fresh cold sweet tea, as I wrote in the first post - and you will all be happy, including the mushroom Brew with any tea, both black and green.
