Following in suit of my last post, while browsing the free stuff section, I found a kindly women 'giving' away kombucha mushrooms. There was a donation of $5 per mushroom, and I was more than happy to oblige.
With that said, I purchased two fully developed and rather large mushrooms. Also new are two, one-gallon jugs that I bought from a wine and hop shop. The recipes I'm using to start of this shindig are:
1 gallon water, ~10 teaspoons Kenyan black tea, 1 1/2 cups raw white sugar, 1/2 cup kombucha starter, and 1 kombucha mushroom.
The second is all the same except about 8-10 teaspoons of Long Jing, Dragonwell.
Let the good times roll...
(The dancong jug is very slow going. There are bubbles, but without a mushroom, the formation is going quite slow. After 2 1/2 weeks, the liquid is still sweet, indicating the sugars are not being consumed by the culture. )
Thank you, Kasha, for the beautiful mushrooms.

never thought of giving kombucha mushrooms on craigslist! that is a good idea for getting rid of extra SCOBYs! (sometimes i have so many of them and not enough jars/time and i don't know what to do!) :)
