You inspired me to try kombucha. Got some from the store today. The taste is definitely interesting. Would it be unwise to drink too much at once, since I haven't had any probiotics in a long time?I make milk kefir and kombucha regularly, but I'm not a huge fan of the taste that water kefir has.
Kombucha is most like water kefir, but much tastier and much harder to make

If you drink a bottle you'll be fine. Just don't drink two in one sittingYou inspired me to try kombucha. Got some from the store today. The taste is definitely interesting. Would it be unwise to drink too much at once, since I haven't had any probiotics in a long time?
Finally got around to attempting to grow my own scoby today The water kefir didn't do well for me.If you drink a bottle you'll be fine. Just don't drink two in one sitting
If you want to grow your own scoby, you can do something like this:

Don't bother buying a scoby. Just make some sweetened black tea, cool it down, and throw in a bottle of store bought plain kombucha. You'll get your own nice scoby within a month or so and you really don't even have to touch it that whole time. Just wait for the thing to grow.
I'm lactose intolerant, so anything where the fermentation removes the lactose is good stuff. Kefir is yummy!Big fan of milk kefir. Drink it everyday if possible with great results. Water Kefir makes me drowsy and its hard to judge alcohol content so i personally stay away.
