Kombucha is not just a trendy drink. It’s packed full of antioxidants and probiotics. I love drinking it in the morning before breakfast and after lunch. It helps me to get away from a mid-afternoon slump. The only thing I don’t like about kombucha is it can get expensive. That’s why I learned how to make it myself years ago. There is a very fast way to get home brewing started, and that’s with kombucha starter kits.

Ever since then, I have tried at least 11 kombucha brewing kits on the market.

Here are the six kombucha starter kits that I find to be the best.

The 6 Best Kombucha Brewing Kits for Easy Home Brewing

Kitchentoolz Kombucha Starter Kit (Deluxe with Heating Mat)

The first kombucha brewing kit I tried is the Kombucha Starter Kit from Kitchentoolz.

Before buying, I had no idea what fermentation meant. I only know that’s the process needed to make my kombucha at home.

But the instructions that come with this kombucha starter kit are so to the point and simple that it’s hard for a beginner to screw up.

The kit comes with all that you need – SCOBY, starter liquid, tea leaves, sugar, jar, pH test strips and even a heating mat. So when it’s winter, your SCOBY won’t feel cold and can continue fermenting.

The only thing that you need are bottles to store your booch in when it’s ready to drink.

Joshua Tree Kombucha Deluxe Starter Kit

This kombucha deluxe starter kit from Joshua Tree comes with everything that you need to home brew kombucha.

Unlike most starter kits that only include 1 cup of starter liquid, this one comes with 1.5 cups.

Also, it contains six airtight flip-top glass bottles, organic tea, 1 cup organic cane sugar, 1-gallon glass kombucha jar with a plastic lid, muslin cloth cover, secure band, pH test strips, and even a temperature gauge.

When you have everything you need to make kombucha, there is no excuse not to make it.

Bucha Brewers’ Deluxe Kombucha Starter Kit

I have gifted my friends with SCOBY’s ever since I got this kombucha starter kit from Bucha Brewers. Maybe it’s because the SCOBY they sent me is so thick and healthy.

This kit comes with all the ingredients, jars, and bottles that you need to start home brewing kombucha.

But what sets it apart from the others is they included every measurement, i.e., the temperature of the water and the proper pH.

In addition, the instructions are clear, non-ambiguous, and concise. And for a limited time, this kit includes second fermentation flavoring ingredients. How awesome is that?

Craft A Brew Starter Home Brewing

Do you know the stress that comes with ordering ingredients and equipment from different stores?

You will not experience that when you get this Craft A Brew Starter Home Brewing.

It comes with everything you need, and when I say everything, that includes stainless steel funnel and filter, unlike other brands.

Also, the bottles that come in this kit are screw-cap. I find screw-caps are better than flip tops because sometimes SCOBY forms in the rubber part of the flip tops. The box is also adorable and artsy.

The only thing I don’t like about this kit is the cloth cover for the jar. It’s too thin and flimsy. Better to re-use old clothes you have.

Mortier Pilon – Kombucha Starter Kit with SCOBY

Mortier Pilon makes excellent and cute jars.

I bought this kombucha kit because of that. This kit comes with a 5-liter jar with a faucet, perfect for continuous brew kombucha or when you want kombucha on tap. It also comes with two flip top small jars.

Moreover, you get  a book with 45 recipes that make use of kombucha tea! 

The downside of this kombucha starter kit is the SCOBY that comes with it is small and thin.

Of course, that doesn’t matter much since you get enough starter liquid, which has all the bacteria and yeast you need to brew kombucha. But a bigger SCOBY will ferment tea faster.

Get Kombucha’s BREWMASTER SELECT Kombucha Continuous Brew Kit System

Want kombucha on tap?

This continuous brew kombucha kit from Get Kombucha will give you that.

It comes with a 2.5-gallon porcelain vessel with a plastic spigot. So you can get kombucha from it right away. Since it is 2.5-gallon, it’s perfect for making large batches of booch.

Since it’s for big batch making, you get two SCOBYs, seven packs of loose leaf tea blends, two packs organic cane sugar, and the other basics you need to brew kombucha.

But what’s cool about this kit is the DVD video instructions and four kombucha tinctures, including a kombucha facial toner!

Making kombucha is not as difficult as it used to be. Now, you can easily find a kombucha brewing kit so you can start home brewing. So, choose from these starter kits and start brewing your booch in no time.
