Would this work for brewing kombucha?

I'm not really familiar with brewing kombucha, but I use mine to brew beer, so maybe.

Yes, I have used it for brewing and it works really well. It's good especially for the mash tun. You can set a custom set point so it alarms if you want. The graph feature is nice too as it shows how fast the temp is changing. There is a built in timer also if you need. If you have two probes, you can monitor your liquor tun too.

I use this with a 10 gallon aluminum brew pot, and it works fine with that. I'm not too certain if I'd want to go too much heavier than that, though.

Yes. I regularly use mine to brew ten gallon batches, with two converted kegs. The stand is very sturdy.

As far as I know this will not work in the Mr. Beer kit which uses a liquid pre-made wort mixture. The above should be used in conjunction with the Brooklyn beer kit, which involves real brewing.

That's a good question. Unfortunately, I know nothing about brewing beer so I am unable to give you an answer. Sorry

you could .. or I am pretty sure it is in their book, and that has a proper 5 gallon break down for this. If you are looking to do 5 Gallon batches you should consider finding recipes online and buying ingredients at a brew store online or in person (to save shipping) Were you going to brew it one gallon at a time and combine it in a fermentor? Good luck and keep brewing!

I dont recommend, bcoz it will taste watery. One single cup at a time. But if you want to brew for 8oz, you can do it at the same time for two cups

You really don't need it for kombucha....just use a coffee filter rubber banded on top of the jar. Don't restrict airflow for kombucha.

You could, but I wouldn't recommend it. The pressure won't stay constant and over time your beer could gain or lose carbonation. I use this when I take a keg to a party with a picnic tap. Works great for that.

Given the same coffee I would personally just brew a pot. We bought this to have in our RV and it works great for that. It is small, not easily broken and the k-cups are sealed and keep fresh for a long time. I would highly recommend this item for that application.

As long as the cup is the exact size as the others. There should be no issues. There is also a "brew-your-own" adapter/cup stored in the housing in the right side of the unit, just about the ON switch.

Yes it does work in this brewer. I have that exact brewer and when you remove the K-cup holder in the brewer, the my k-cup sits perfectly. The only thing I have found is that the water does not always directly come out of the spout. It all makes it into the cup, but it can get a little messy sometimes.

It's all in the ratios. But, since it takes so long to brew a batch I'm inclined to make as much as I can. But, if you follow the ratio of water and grounds, and follow the steps, I'm sure it would work just fine.

I have no idea. probably need to contact the manufacturer to find out. I have used mine for continuous kombucha brewing without any problems.

I doubt it. The ideal temp to brew kombucha is in the 80's. I know cold temps can harm it but I'm not sure about high ones though.
