It was an interesting read. It does go a little bit into the history of kombucha as well as the materials you will need in order to make it. Otherwise, it kind of fell flat. I was fully expecting more ways to make kombucha as well as possible tricks for beginners. Instead, we had a variety of recipes that were still beverages but had little to do with kombucha, including soda. I feel like the title shouldn't have specifically mentioned kombucha. Instead, it could have just been called The Joy of Home Brewing: How to Craft Probiotic and Fermented Drinks (Joy of Series). That way, it wouldn't have felt as misleading because I kind of expected it to be mostly about kombucha.
