How to Store Kombucha

If you have been wild and exciting and have made your own Kombucha you'll need to know how best to store it.  There is nothing worse then putting time and energy into making something only for it to go off because it was not stored correctly.

Storing Kombucha

Once your homemade kombucha is complete (or you’ve just returned from the grocery store), you’ll want to store it in a clear glass bottle or jar with a tightly fit lid, preferably not metal, if you have the option. Plastic bottles may swell or harden and colour from dyed jars can get into the drink.

When bottling kombucha, leave an inch or less of air at the top of the bottle. This should allow for an appropriate amount of carbonation.

It’s important never to shake a bottle of kombucha and risk exploding its container. Try holding your entire hand over the lid as you open it to prevent it from popping off unexpectedly.

Be sure to refrigerate your completed kombucha to extend its shelf life. If you’ve added flavoring, consider that when storing the kombucha. For example, fresh fruits will go bad in the kombucha long before the drink.
