FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEW ORLEANS, March 17, 2024 — Kombucha is a fermented tea known for its health benefits and tangy kick. But brewers can find it challengi
Investigating the use of silicone bags as an alternative to glass jars for brewing kombucha came about when a fellow brewer shared with Richardson that the silicone sous vide bags they were using fermented the tea faster and created more acid compared to glass jars. The brewer understood the quick production of acids likely meant the bacteria were getting rid of ethanol faster, but they wanted the scientists’ help to figure out why. The team found that a silicone bag’s porosity, compared to a nonporous jar, exposes the SCOBY to more oxygen, which speeds up the brewing process — including…
