Complete Kombucha Brewing Kit for Beginners

The Bucha Brewers Deluxe Kombucha Brewing Kit with Bottles includes everything a beginner needs to brew a first 1-gallon batch at home. It also includes six 16-ounce flip-top glass bottles and straightforward instructions for second fermentation—the step where brewers add flavor and develop carbonation.

The included equipment can be reused to brew gallon batches of kombucha for life. Our comprehensive instructions walk you through primary and second fermentation step by step, and Bucha Brewers provides online guides, recipes, and personal support if questions come up.

Designed to Help First-Time Kombucha Brewers Succeed

Our kombucha brewing kits were designed and perfected by experienced kombucha brewers to address common problems new brewers encounter. The goal is to remove the stress and guesswork without removing the details a beginner needs. Bucha Brewers combines the product quality expected from a large business with the personal service and support of a small business.

Fresh, Active SCOBY and Starter Tea

Bucha Brewers SCOBYs are grown with high-quality organic sugar and our proprietary black tea blend, which is optimal for SCOBY health. Each SCOBY and its starter tea are packaged shortly before shipment so they arrive fresh, healthy, and active. Our SCOBYs are not dehydrated or stored for long periods.

Reusable Equipment, Made and Assembled with Care

Bucha Brewers’ 1-gallon glass jars are manufactured in the United States and made to last. Every kit is assembled by hand with care in the United States. The included equipment can be reused for ongoing gallon batches, while the six high-quality flip-top bottles let you repeatedly flavor and carbonate your kombucha through second fermentation.

Why This Kit Uses Coffee Filters

Cheesecloth can leave openings that allow bugs, harmful bacteria, and other unwanted contaminants into a brew. Coffee filters provide a better balance: they allow kombucha to breathe while helping protect it during fermentation. The filters can also be reused and recycled for many purposes.
