      <content>there was also a long post w/links under the BEER board-- since kombucha is fermented, several of those crazy homebrewers had to try it &amp; posted their tips.</content>

      <content>I make my own Kombucha with culture, and when i bottle it i add some bluebereries, pomegranate juice, or ginger.  It is SOOO delishhhh.  I recomend getting a culture and making it homemade.  Its pretty easy and fun.  + it tastes better.</content>

      <content>I bought a starter scoby off ebay for less than $10 and have been making it for a couple months at home.  I don't drink more than one a day, but I don't know if could even be bad for you if you drink more.  

I've added ginger and mint when I bottled (on separate occasions) and both have been wonderful.  I highly recommend a little DIY Kombucha for everyone!  Here are some pictures...
