The Kombucha Mamma Essential HEATING STRIP

The Kombucha Mamma Essential Heating Strip is a helpful tool for maintaining the optimal temperature for brewing kombucha. It is compatible with various brewing materials, including ceramic, stainless steel, glass, and wood. The heating strip can be adjusted to find the ideal temperature range of 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit, with 78 degrees being the ideal temperature for acidification and flavor development. The strip is quite powerful and may require some initial tweaking to find the perfect temperature. However, the SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) is resilient and can withstand brief temperature fluctuations without issues. Sustained temperatures above 108 degrees Fahrenheit would be needed to cause damage to the culture. Customers have found different methods to regulate the temperature with this heating strip. Some have used timers to control when the strip is on and off, while others have found that leaving the strip loosely around the vessel helps create a heat force field. It is important to monitor the temperature using a thermometer attached to the jar to ensure it stays within the desired range. Overall, the Kombucha Mamma Essential Heating Strip is a reliable product that effectively maintains the temperature for brewing kombucha. It may require some experimentation to find the ideal set-up, but once established, it keeps the kombucha production going, especially during the colder months.
