This is a matter of personal interpretation and individual faith. While the alcohol in kombucha is naturally occurring and minimal, Islamic dietary laws generally prohibit consuming alcohol in any form. Some Muslims may choose to avoid kombucha entirely, while others may accept it because:

1. The alcohol is not intentionally added – it occurs naturally through fermentation.
2. The amount is negligible – less than 0.5% ABV is similar to levels found in some fruit juices, vinegar, or bread due to natural fermentation.

For peace of mind, it’s best for Muslims to consult with their religious authority or scholars for guidance on consuming kombucha.

Sugar is essential to the fermentation process, as it feeds the SCOBY. By the time fermentation is complete, most of the sugar is consumed. Our kombucha contains minimal residual sugar, just enough to maintain its balanced, delicious taste. Check out our individual labelling, where residual fermented sugars sit between 3.2-4.4% which translates to approximately 8-11 grams per 250ml serve across the core range.

Kombucha should always be stored in the fridge to preserve its natural live cultures and freshness. If kept refrigerated, it can last for months, though we recommend enjoying it within 1–2 weeks of opening for the best taste.

While kombucha is safe for most people, those sensitive to caffeine, trace alcohol, or probiotics may want to check with their health professional first. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should also consult their doctor before drinking kombucha.

You are more than welcome to collect a scoby from us. We don't sell these, as it's an organic belief that we should make this available, just as we had our first one available to us in 1995.

The best way is always to organise one for collection from one of our Farmer's Market events (3-4 weekly).

Just email us at scoby@hippie.au and your postcode / location, and we'll advise you the best time/place for collection!

Yes, you can modify your Brew to You subscription at any time. This includes pausing, changing the product selection, or cancelling your subscription entirely. We will be sad to see you go, but will always be here with open arms if you decide to come back later.

10% every time

Subscription reduces your costing by 10%, meaning you'll be getting your chilled fresh booch dropped to your door.

That's less than $5 per bottle to your door. And if you order 2 cases or more (3 for South West), also receive free shipping!

Yes, we just need to capture a little more info, and let our team come back to you with some pricing.
