Can I drink too much Kombucha? Well it really depends on you.
I know for myself I have days where I drink no Kombucha, and I have days where I drink a gallon of Kombucha, the better question I think would be the following:
How do I know when I've drank too much Kombucha?
And you can know a few ways, or how can I prevent drinking too much Kombucha? Let's answer those 2 questions right now:
if your body has something called a cleansing crisis and we've done articles and other videos about what a cleansing crisis is, basically if you start getting negative side effects of Kombucha tea, look at how much you're drinking. If you break out in a rash, if you're going to the bathroom a lot, again all these things could be good things it could be just your body trying to get stuff out, but perhaps it's getting it out too quickly, so I would look at how much you're drinking and more importantly how much are you drinking in one sitting?
Second question is:
How can I prevent myself from drinking too much Kombucha?
Really guys it's water, drink as much water as you possible can. People think, well if this is good for me, maybe if I drink even more of it so it'll be better for me, but there's going to be a cut off where, look drinking 10 gallons of water isn't good for you either, so the reason why I say drink water with your Kombucha or after drinking your Kombucha is a few reasons, we go into other videos why, but primarily it's helping flush your liver, so if you have too much Kombucha, without water going through your liver, even though Kombucha helps with your liver, it still gets processed in your liver and anything that's processed too much you're going to be taxing your liver. Again a good rule of thumb also is why do you need to be drinking a gallon of Kombucha? I drink a gallon of Kombucha sometimes because I need to do quality control, so I'm constantly testing and tasting what's good, but is that the best for your homemade kombucha? Probably not, I would say start off, again 4 ounces 4 times day, see how you feel, then maybe do it 8 ounces twice a day, go up, listen you want to go up to 32 ounces, 48 ounces, do it, but… (another tip coming up, get ready for the fancy box again)…
The rule of thumb is, I always say, it's better to drink 4 ounces of Kombucha 4 times a day, which is 16 ounces, then 16 ounces all at once, at least at the beginning, so let your body get used to what's going on. too much kombucha is based on the person and the kombucha
listen to your body, see how it reacts, take your time, it's not a race, it's better to be the turtle, then a rabbit in the Kombucha game of drinking Kombucha.

Hi Tea Drinkers:
I went away for 9 days, leaving a large freshly prepared gallon’ish’ culture brewing and a few smaller ones. I came back to the best ever tasting tea ever! The smaller ones were on the verge of vinegar but the larger one was perfect. I used room temperature and dark cupboards to brew and in the fri9dge now the taste is holding to the decanated taste. Scobie scobie doo! .
