The last time I brew was the tail end of October, I moved and life got in the way. My scoby has been sitting in that tea, in the mid 60's for over 3 months. I threw it in a new batch of tea tonight. Does anyone think it is still viable ?
 
Yes, provided that the storage solution was Kombucha and there was some added food (sugar, fruit juice etc.). I stored my half-dozen scobys for 60 days in a fridge and just last week arrived home and started a new batch which is fermenting well.

It was kombucha, but I never fed it. I need to check it tomorrow to see if it has done anything, its been 8 days at 74 degrees.
