Complete 1-Gallon Kombucha Brewing Kit

The Bucha Brewers Complete Kombucha Brewing Kit includes the equipment, culture, ingredients, monitoring tools, and detailed instructions needed for a beginner’s first 1-gallon kombucha brew. The reusable setup can support ongoing batches; after the first brew, replenish only the tea and sugar you consume.

Key Features

  • Everything for the first primary brew: Jar, SCOBY, starter tea, organic sugar, black tea, tea bag, pH strips, thermometer, coffee filters, rubber band and instructions are included.
  • Tested and approved by beginners: Designed by experienced brewers to address common questions and first-batch problems.
  • Fresh, active culture: The SCOBY and starter tea are grown with premium ingredients and packaged shortly before shipment to ensure you receive an active, happy, & healthy product
  • Quality reusable equipment: Includes a durable US-made gallon jar, and each kit is assembled by hand with care in the United States.
  • Better fermentation cover: Coffee filters allow airflow while helping block bugs, debris, and other contaminants that can pass through cheesecloth.
  • Guidance beyond the box: Includes access to Bucha Brewers recipes, brewing resources, and personal support from our small family business.

What’s Included?

  • 1-gallon glass jar
  • High-quality live kombucha SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast)
  • Strong kombucha starter tea
  • 1 cup certified organic cane sugar
  • 80 pH test strips
  • 1 adhesive thermometer strip
  • 3 tablespoons loose-leaf black tea blend
  • 1 cotton tea bag
  • 2 coffee filters for covering the jar during fermentation
  • 1 rubber band to secure the filter
  • 1 BPA-free plastic lid for storage
  • Clear, comprehensive kombucha brewing instructions
  • Access to online guides, recipes, and brewing support

Fresh SCOBY and Starter Tea

Bucha Brewers cultures are grown with organic sugar and a proprietary black tea blend selected for SCOBY health. They remain brewing until shortly before shipment, rather than being dehydrated or held in storage for long periods.

What About Flavoring and Carbonation?

This kit covers primary fermentation. To flavor and carbonate the finished kombucha through second fermentation, transfer it into pressure-capable swing-top bottles. Choose the Deluxe Kombucha Brewing Kit with Bottles if you want the complete first-brew and flavoring setup together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to buy anything for my first primary brew?

No. The jar, culture, starter tea, brewing ingredients, covers, monitoring tools, and instructions for the first gallon are included.

Can I use the equipment again?

Yes. The jar and equipment are reusable, and the SCOBY can continue into future batches when properly maintained. You will only need to replenish the tea and sugar used in each brew.

I will be honest, no one ever gets a five. But I am pleased with how fast my initial order came and the scoby did a beautiful job on my first batch. The speed with which their products come (hats off to the package handlers in between) because there has never been an issue getting this company's product to my door. Second batch with the loose lea is going through its first run. The loose leaf smells great, and I am looking forward to it.

This is my second starter kit. I left my previous one with a neighbor when I moved. I love these kits! They are so easy to use. I highly recommend purchasing one to anyone who enjoys drinking kombucha. The expense of purchasing bottled product is high and not environmentally friendly - unless you have a local store that sells kombucha on tap. This kit allows you to produce tasty and high quality kombucha at home very cost effectively.

I did a lot of research into diy kombucha before I made a purchase, and Bucha Brewers had the most impressive website with regard to helping me figure out what I wanted to purchase. Their prices were also extremely reasonable. Delivery was super fast.

This was my first diy kombucha attempt and Bucha Brewers Starter Kit has been great! We've used the kit for over a month now, and have completed two successful first fermentations and one successful second fermentation. The directions that come with the kit are clear and when I had a question about something I just went on their website and quickly found the answer. Really happy with my purchase and looking forward to some more amazing homemade kombucha this summer!

The litmus paper for testing pH is runny and very difficult to read. For the 2nd batch, I realized that I do not know how much sugar to use... I just poured the original package in (for the first batch) without measuring.

was worried about buying kombucha in store with the coronavirus situation, so i got this kit. It couldn’t have been easier, and it really comes with everything you need except water. tastes even better than store-bought! shipping was also very fast. thanks

I couldn’t believe how easy to make & affordable this is- kit has everything I need. Makes a better tasting & healthier brew than the store bought stuff too. We experiment with new flavors every batch, can’t wait to try the pumpkin spice. Love Mr. Scobee too. HOO RAH!

We received our kit 2 days after ordering and were so excited to get brewing. It was so easy, the hardest part was waiting for the fermentation process to complete. The kombucha turned out great. Since we are novices, we did reach out to customer service with a question which they were very helpful with. We are on our 3rd brew now and having fun playing with all kinds of fruit flavorings. Thanks Bucha Brewers!
