Re: kombucha 101 thread!

I think you need it above the jar, not above the SCOBY in the jar. Is that what you're asking SC?

How long does a SCOBY stay good in the fridge? My SCOBY granddaughter is a dud. I have some in my fridge from Dandelion but she gave me those last month.

Re: kombucha 101 thread!

It's been recommended to leave a minimum of 2 inches of head-space in your jars, for the scoby to breath, and bubble.

If your Scoby is in some liquid in the fridge, it can last a long time. I'd for sure pull it out and start a new batch. :yes

Re: kombucha 101 thread!

It was suggested that I post this picture. Story behind it: DH decided he wanted to make kombucha (I didn't really care). He started it and then left it in the laundry room and didn't touch it for like, four-six months. This is the result. (spoilered because it's a large picture)

Re: kombucha 101 thread!

Yep, that's what I'm doing tonight!

Of course, I'm terrified that I'm going to screw this all up somehow. Pray for me?

The scoby I got is a quarter off of one about that size. It's made about 8 babies since. :) Don't be too scared!!

Re: kombucha 101 thread!

Here's a pic of it once I got it out of the jar. I had to cut it in half, cause the top was really thick and not very gelatinous. I used a baby off the bottom for my new jar!

Re: kombucha 101 thread!

wow. fascinating stuff!!!! Is it slippery and globby? :shiver cold and gloopy...

I wonder if it's like when you have more patience for your own kids than you do with strangers' kids. I hope I love my Scoby when I get it. :giggle

Re: kombucha 101 thread!

That was about half as big as the one I neglected. But my mold issues are ongoing..... :( Even with a new scoby.

I told mil it was moldy.... She only replied, "Hmmmmmmm". Lol. Don't think she wants to help. :lol
