Well, I'm back and ready for my beloved Kombucha. I haven't brewed in a few years. Instead of going for a commercial Scoby, I was wondering if anyone had one they'd sell me? Would $25 cover the Scoby in 1-2 cups of Kombucha, and postage to Texas? Thanks! Barb :mug:

You should know in the next week. Mold grows pretty fast. Only had it once, but ugh! KombuchaJim is right :onestar: :)

I'm in, and I will make room on the counter for this right now. This baby is coming home to ME :D

I will definitely give them a try -- I do not like glass shards :)

So....there was this huge **BANG** at our place about 1:00AM the other night. It reverberated through the house and made me sit straight up in bed, and I promptly poked my husband and asked, "what was that?" (yeah, like he knew anything at the moment). :rolleyes: I thought it sounded like a...

Wow, how did you assemble such amazing prizes! I'm in!

kyt, you are a treasure! I just drew off seven 16 oz. bottles from the continuous brew, so tomorrow I will probably have enough fermented to donate some to the batch on the counter. The batch is still pretty sweet, and I hope this will give it a kick in its what-sis. :) The CB has been...

Hi, thanks for writing! Ambient temp is 77°F and it is on kitchen counter. Completely undisturbed until the 1st taste test. It is a total of 1 gallon in a 1.5 gallon wide glass jar (jar is wider than it is tall). It is covered with cloth provided from the kit I bought. It grew the baby...

Hi everyone, I have been reading all of your posts these last three days, and I am learning a lot. So glad to have found y'all! Quick question: I am on the 6th day of my very first batch. The various sources I have read said that you can slip a straw under the edge of the SCOBY baby and...
