Lagri, Maria, in theory, should be oklematsya, the main thing is that the glass does not fall into the jar.
Just do not pour a lot of tea at once, otherwise he will not be able to float, it will be hard for him.
Good luck.
Wildebeest
Lagri, Maria, your mushroom has gone through a lot of stress, now it will come to its senses and everything will be fine.
I divided mine, he also sat at the bottom, then surfaced. I have it soooo little. By the way, he sits at the bottom after each fluid change, and then floats up.
Trishka
And here, after a general wash, he used to refuse to float up at all, now somehow he adapted, if it's mine, then I pour him tea after washing just a bit, so that he had nowhere to drown, and then very carefully for the second and third time, right along the wall of the can, I add fresh tea, and then when he comes to his senses, I take care of it as usual ...
Lagri
Trishka, Ksyusha, poured half a three-liter jar of tea with sugar.
Wildebeest, Sveta, then I'll wait. Hopefully it’s going round.
Thank you for responding, I'm under stress myself. Sorry for the fungus.

It seems to me a lot, at the beginning I pour somewhere 300-350 ml so that I don't drown ... then after 3-4 days I add a little more ..
marina-mm
Maria, you just have to wait. The mushroom and without stress in a new place goes to the bottom, floats up, everything will be fine.
Lagri
Marina, thank you, they reassured me, otherwise I thought it was over for him, at the bottom the poor thing was lying around. And how long will it be at the bottom, a few days? And will it be possible to drain and drink the mushroom drink while it is at the bottom?

Ksyusha, and what to pour tea, leave somewhere half a liter?
marina-mm
Maria, you will have to wait a few days for the mushroom to adapt. Well, for a start, the drink does not prepare quickly. I stood for more than three days at first, determine to taste, of course, how ready it will be, you can drink.
Trishka

Well yes
Lagri
Well then, now I'll pour it so that the top of the mushroom is on the same level with the tea.

Pop up don't worry

you will have to wait several days for the mushroom to adapt.

Even an old mushroom, after pouring a new solution, will sit on the bottom for a couple of days - this is normal.
And there is no need to add anything - immediately make a solution normal in volume, the mushroom will sit and rise.

See, I described everything in detail in the first post of the topic
Lagri
Tatyana, got it.
mowgli,
Ilmirushka
Maria, do not worry if you had to put it in "clean" tea, well, in the sense of no remnants of a ready-made drink with its acid, then it will just climb a little longer there, you just need not fill it in full, just above the mushroom itself, a centimeter by 2-3. It will rise - add tea.
Lagri
Ilmira, I did everything, and now I and the mushroom are resting.

What to do, wait?
Of course, wait. He needs to work out a solution for himself. Don't touch, let it stand alone

Lagri
And how do you know where is the top and where is the bottom of the mushroom? The fact is that when they gave me the mushroom, it was not very clear to me where it had the upper hand, how it was the same on the one hand and on the other. It still lies at the bottom, at the bottom of the can (7 days), but the drink is normal, though slightly carbonated. The smell of the drink is good too.
Wildebeest
Maria, drink the drink and fill with the new solution. And where is the top or bottom, he will figure it out himself over time. At least for me, I don’t bother.
Can anyone else have their say now?

Well, why don't you look at the first page of the topic?
There in pictures and UP and BOTTOM are shown for you.The mushroom still has two sides - they are different
Kombucha drink
Lagri
Wildebeest, Sveta, thank you, but for a long time he lies at the bottom.
Admin, Tatyana, I read everything, the whole topic, saw all the photos, but they gave me some kind of mushroom, the same on both sides, clean. I only had it for a few days and nothing had time to grow. Lies at the bottom, does not rise.
Admin

Well, let it lie further.
He can lie for a long time, since he does not have a lower part - a dark, shaggy beard. It still needs to grow over time.

He does not need much water solution. It will lie down, get well and begin to rise.
But, change the solution anyway, he needs food, sugar.
Lagri
Tatyana, Thank you. Let it lie. And the fact that the drink is cloudy, not transparent, can you drink it? Today I measured its height - somewhere around 7 cm. It can be heavy, so there is no strength to rise.
Admin

Wait drink
There is still no drink, the mushroom is still working for its life support, fighting for its existence after "castration"

Wildebeest
Margitte, everyone, jumped off to do kombuchi. This I have never seen, heard and did not know.
nut
And in late autumn I dried 2 mushrooms - it turned out 2 small flat pancakes, the first attempt to revive one pancake ended in a complete fiasco, as I did - in the morning I took out a pancake, put it in cool boiled water for soaking, washed it well in the evening and dipped it into a jar with tea leaves and sugar , stood for 5 days, the smell was normal and the water seemed to taste like a little mushroom, I renewed the mushroom water again and a week later saw mold spots on it, washed it again, filled it with water - after a couple of days the whole top was covered with mold and decided to throw it away, but under the pancake I saw such a cloudy whitish spot with five kopecks, so I collected it and now the jar with the spot is in the kitchen cabinet - I hope that something will grow: girl_in_dreams: I took out the second pancake today and poured it with tea water - we'll take a look
Maybe someone has experience bringing such a dry pancake-mushroom back to life-please share
Wildebeest
nut, Ira, I am looking forward to the results of your observations.
Margitte


See what he did, nobody wants to try?
P.S. I need that book

Nah, I won't do that, me bird sorry for the mushroom. And it's lazy to mess around. I will enjoy my drink.
Irina Dolars
To lynch the breadwinner?
Margitte
I, too, will not conduct such an experiment, although I love marshmallow and nothing of which, my fungi are still small, only yesterday I moved them to a two-liter jar. By the way, maybe I'm wrong, but as I understand it, Americans never wash kombucha ...
I bought that book from the video, it is on ibey and is called on the Amazon "The Big Book of Kombucha"
Wildebeest
Today I broke down and decided to try my kombuchi.
A very pleasant taste, reminiscent of duchess lemonade, which was still made with natural sugar.
Only my mushroom is young and weakly gassed.
Now, if it hadn't been for tyrnet, if not for the forum, if not for Margitte with the video, if not for Admin-Tanya, who opened the topic, I would not have drank such a yummy.
Thanks to all!
By the way, I have a queue for kombucha. But they don't know about kombuchi.
Trishka
The girls conducted the experiment, took 1 glass of 7-day infusion of the mushroom and ... froze it, then somewhere in a week, thawed it and mixed it with a glass of freshly brewed, sweet tea, and left it for 10 days alone, and that's what I have it turned out ... and yet he grew up ...

Kombucha drink
sveta-Lana
They brought me kombucha yesterday, I like it on green tea
the thought arose, is it possible to do on fermented Ivan-tea?
I looked for information on the Internet, but it is contradictory, someone says you can at any infusion,
someone says that "it is not worth it - willow tea contains bactericidal substances that can suppress the fungus."
Girls, maybe someone tried it, share information
filirina
He lives and thrives on Ivan tea too. Did it all spring.
Admin

I read in a book that you can prepare a drink with various herbs, and even with ... fresh milk.
But it's a matter of taste, how much it suits purely to taste. I couldn't drink on herbs - it tastes bitter.

oh, how good, otherwise I don’t buy store tea since last summer, I drink Ivan-tea
so today I'll try to do it on Ivanushka

probably something like kefir will work out, but I don't want to try this yet
Irina, Tatyana, Thanks for the quick response

And where did he come from, this kombucha? Can you get it yourself, or must there be an "agent" initially?

Better to buy from mushroom growers for sale.
Make a request on the internet.

ask on the internet * to grow kombucha at home *, and we have already discussed in this thread
Bozhedarka
Can you please tell me, I have half a glass of vinegar from the infusion of kombucha, if you mix it with tea, will you get a cake or have all the bacteria necessary for the formation of kombucha already died in the vinegar and I will end up with a vinegar uterus?
Trishka
Bozhedarka, Nastya, why not try it?
Bozhedarka
Oh ... what I just didn’t try, I spent a lot of money on the purchase of mushrooms, in the end the mushrooms turned out to be a vinegar uterus, you take it in your hands and it sprawls, and after all, 5 years ago I had 6 gallon cans. As he grew up, he handed out dozens! We moved, took only one, but he took it and died. And now I don't know where to run and where to look. Here I got vinegar from ChG. Today I diluted it with sweet tea, we'll see.
Trishka
Yes, sorry for the mushroom, but maybe a new one will grow!
mowgli
Bozhedarka, keep our fists!
Bozhedarka
A thin mushroom grew out of tea mixed with tea mushroom vinegar, but by this time I had already bought a good mushroom. The mushroom has grown a real not vinegar uterus.




Until that time, I tried to grow from a mixture of tea and apple cider vinegar, but the vinegar uterus grew.
Silyavka
I, too, today, or rather yesterday, put the kombucha from scratch on tea leaves and sugar. Let's see what happens.
Margitte
Silyavka, if something grows (nothing has grown in my tea leaves with sugar for two months), then it will not be a kombucha, but a vinegar uterus, in order to grow a kombucha from scratch, you need to add a ready-made kombucha drink to the tea leaves.
Admin
Quote: Silyavka

It has long been written that the mushroom grown in this way is not ZOOGLEA, that is, the basis of natural kombucha.
Kombucha can only come from natural kombucha infusion.
