About Us

The short version

We started brewing kombucha in 2018 because store-bought was expensive and we drank a lot of it. Within a few months, we had SCOBYs multiplying faster than we could give them away to friends. So we started selling them online, along with the supplies and knowledge we picked up along the way.

That turned into Get Your Kombucha On in 2020. Today we ship SCOBYs, starter kits, and brewing supplies across the US. We also publish all our tested recipes for free, because the whole point is getting more people to brew their own.

What we care about

Healthy SCOBYs

Every SCOBY we sell is grown in-house in small batches. We never ship one that looks thin, discoloured, or questionable. If a batch does not meet our standard, it goes to the compost, not to your mailbox.

Honest information

We test every recipe at least three times before publishing it. If something does not work well, we say so. We mark difficulty levels accurately because nobody wants to open a bottle that explodes on day one.

Real cost savings

A bottle of kombucha at the store costs $4-5. A home-brewed bottle costs about 50 cents. Our starter kit pays for itself after 10 bottles. We built the business around that math.

Common questions

Where are you based?

Portland, Oregon. We ship nationwide via USPS Priority Mail.

Is kombucha alcoholic?

Barely. Home-brewed kombucha typically has 0.5-1% ABV. That is less than a ripe banana. If you ferment it unusually long it can creep higher, but our recipes keep it in the normal range.

How long does a SCOBY last?

Indefinitely, if you treat it right. Keep it fed with sweet tea and at room temperature, and it will keep producing new layers. We have SCOBYs that are descendants of our original 2018 culture.

Can I use your recipes with someone else's SCOBY?

Absolutely. Our recipes are free and work with any healthy SCOBY. We just think ours are particularly good.
