it's so fun and tasty. don't be afraid about the bottles breaking--as long as you get the flip top kind that are meant for brewing you'll be fine. I've had a few instances when i opened the bottle and kombucha exploded everywhere which is shocking and a mess to clean up but also hilarious. the way to avoid this is to refrigerate the bottles before opening (carbonation is less intense at lower temps ig)
my fav go-to flavor is lemon and ginger... nothing really beats that for me.. but its fun to switch it up by adding pomegranate or blueberry or whatever. the last batch i put in a bunch of kumquats i took from my neighbors tree and tbh it was not very good. wayy too tart. you'll figure it out

i love fermenting and kombucha especially!
go to yr local wine making store to get the proper fermenting bottles with flip tops, it should help with explosions. Burping your bottles in the second ferment should also help, but I don’t do this cause I find you loose a lot of carbonation. Stick it in the fridge for 2 days or so before opening to calm down the carbonation and you should be good.
Excellent flavour combinations include melon mint, strawberry mint, pinapple and hops! Play around with the tea you ferment with: elderflower tea makes a beautiful lychee-esque flavour. I want to try coffee kombucha next >:)

Changed my perspective on so much--namely money and history. It's shocking how so much of the mainstream story of where money came from is false conjecture. For instance, we are told that societies start out bartering for goods and then develop money to make trade easier... but actually Graeber shows in no society has bartering ever predated coinage. The actual ways societies have historically dealt with exchange of goods and services are diverse and often more humanistic. Could it be that the mainstream narrative is merely justification for the inevitability of the free market? 🤔 Definitely want to re-read because there's lots more too

I like that you called it a "short circuit"—I feel like you can just say "Woah sorry just short circuited" and move on. I think it would make you seem cool and comfortable with your flaws and put others at ease
