I've tried this stuff in a number of different incarnations. It's ok, but not great. Are any gerbils true believers?

[quote<]UX rant: The nightmare horrorshow that is the Apple TV remote @ Ars Technica[/quote<] The AppleTV 4k is such a weird device. Far more power than is needed to watch TV and listen to music, but the lack of a bundled controller and game marketing from Apple ends up making it a bad for gaming. Yet another management failure at Apple.
It looks disgusting and smells worse.
No thanks.
I used to brew my own but not anymore. I never liked having to deal with cutting back down the mother scoby. Trying to get it out of the brewing vessel and cut it down without the use of metal utensils while keeping the whole process sterile was just too much of a headache. I was also never any good at second fermentation and figuring out when to refrigerate the brew. I usually got too scared about blowing bottles and moved to refrigeration too early.
As for buying it at the store, I find most of the stuff in the store has too high a sugar content for my tastes and I usually get kicked into carb cravings when I drink them. I also liked the taste of my brew way better than anything I have found in store yet. I had my mix perfected. 50% Oolong, 30% Yerba Matte, 20% Puehr.
Like Honey Mead but with Tea(s)?
If you have brewed mead safely, then you can brew booch at home safely. The biggest difference and learning curve is learning how to properly handle and maintain the scoby, since you can recycle it for every batch, where mead you just buy a new culture of yeast.
Edit: Actually, sterilization is a touch easier for booch since you can just fill a spray bottle with apple-cider vinegar to mist the inside of the brewing container and other brewing equipment, and it will have little to no noticeable effect on the taste.
“Oreo and Cadbury brands” … and maybe a couple more.

Every single one of those brands should be boycotted.
All of it falls into the categories of either “processed junk” or “unethically-produced” if it’s not both at once.
The running theme in these brands is excessive sugar/salt/fat/artificial additives and it arrived on your store shelf by exploiting people throughout the chain.
Booch Booch
the mighty hooch
brewed from tea
thats gotten loose
loose leaves in a pot
lots of water pretty hot

fermented black hooch
the mighty Booch
It is an amazing show
I kind of decided to avoid kombucha when I realized that a contaminated brew can have toxic results.
to booch or not to booch, that is not the question. the question is what, in gods name, is booch?
“Booch”? WTH is booch?
Could be worse, though. For a second there, I thought I was going to have to run out and buy my wife a pin for her jacket at the last minute. Whew!
What is booch
This is the part where the editors spin up the headlines with words that are nigh on guaranteed to drive iq100 over the edge.
I had to look it up too, I hadn’t heard the slang term for [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kombucha<]Kombucha[/url<] either. Apparently, today is the very first annual booch day.
I hate to get all “creative writing club” on you, but “first annual” should be “inaugural”.
My apologizes, it’s nigh impossible to make everyone happy.
Don’t conflate making people happy with expecting people to be semi-literate.
Oh, so now we’re all the knights who say nigh, are we?

What’s a monty Python? Some kind of snake?
It’s a police snake that rides around Canada on a horse.
I would have seen one being canadian
The snake, he’s long, seven miles…
It works all night and it sleeps all day.
No, that’s a lumberjack
Yes, native to the UK. It’s funny lookin’.
The Nigh-ts, you say?

Arrrrrrrgh!
Sigh. And you said going back to school wouldn’t change you. Where’s the old, sweet Ben we used to know and lo, er, like?
Just be happy he didn’t get his PhD. Can you imagine what Dr. derFunkenstein would be like?
Omg, he’d be DocderFunk!
Impressive, most impressive.
I was leaning towards dropping the der and just being Dr. Funkenstein, but I think I like this better.

Inauguralably correct, Watson.
It sounds like something Gwyneth Pawltrow would sell.

Sorry, I’ve been resisting that all day and couldn’t hold it back any longer. o_0
Instantly heard the song. Thanks, jerk. LOL
