I know what it is and what it does. I just want one.

(Ofcourse I can order one from ebay - uk, france or somewhere) but I want to get one locally as living creatures (yeasts and others) could not survive journey.

I bought one from France in July (I'm in Brussels-Belgium) and there was no problem : it's still well and alive! From one disk about 10cm, I've got now more than 10 others ! It multiplies very easily. If you want, I can try to send one to you (shipping on your charge - of course )

fdx

Where are you from?
contact me on private message or <snip> please.
Do you have paypall account?

Hi,

Im looking for a kombucha culture. Im in the Dublin area and would like to buy local as possible.

Thanks,

Jolilouis

Hi Kombucha,

I've sent a baby kombucha to fdx (look in the posts) and, later, he told me that he already had new ones. For he is your neighbour, it could be better to contact him. In case of, you can still get kombucha from me in Brussels (same conditions: shipping on your charge...)
Good luck!

Thanks Jolilouis, I will try to make contact with fdx.

I don't suppose any of the dublin people would like to share some kombucha scoby's? I'm willing to pay for shipping costs.

kombucha

I have not yet managed to get one, but will post you if anything comes up.

jtang

cool, well I ended up just ordering one from harmonikireland.com, I should hopefully get it in the next few days. If it's successful I could share it.

kombucha

yes that is my next port of call. Thanks, good luck w brewing

jtang

well my starter kit has arrived and i've started brewing my first batch (well two seperate brews just in case if I mess up)

it's going good, it doesn't taste like the carpe diem stuff, but its good enough when i add ginger or fruits to it.

bc dub

so is online the only option or is it available in any stores?

again I'd rather shop locally and that excludes tesco.

thanks
