When people hear us talking about how Remedy Kombucha contains raw, unpasteurised, live cultures, they're naturally curious. There's a bit of a myth floating round that because all that good bacteria is alive and kicking inside booch that it needs to be constantly refrigerated, but that's not necessarily the case! The short answer is, Remedy Kombucha doesn't need to be refrigerated (but we can't say that for all kombuchas out there).

There are two important differences that mean Remedy is a-ok in or out of the fridge. Firstly, Remedy contains absolutely zero sugar, and secondly our live culture is happy and healthy!

Let's start with the sweet talk.

All the sugar that is added at the beginning of our kombucha's 30-day brew is used up in the fermentation process. What's left is a super tasty no sugar kombucha and every batch is tested to make absolute certain that there's no sugar left.

While we love offering a tasty no sugar booch because we care about your health, it also has an added benefit that if there's no sugar left, there's no risk of re-fermentation in the bottle (turning booch into booze!). One of the reasons that other kombuchas out there might need to stay in the fridge is because they've got sugar left over in the bottles, and there's a risk if they're left out of the fridge they could continue to ferment in the bottle.

How 'bout those healthy live cultures? 

We're pretty darn proud of our live culture. Its been going to the gym to get super strong and healthy... and by going to the gym we mean it's been growing and strengthening with every brew we've made since our founders started brewing booch with their first SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria & Yeast). The benefit of growing such a strong, healthy live culture is that it doesn't need to be refrigerated to stay alive. We've tested ours at every stage of it's life during the brew, on shelves, and into your kitchens to make sure it's happy and healthy and ready to do your gut some good.

Of course, we reckon a booch is best served chilled or on ice, so no need to shun the fridge (just know that you can if you want to!)
