Can I put the SCOBY's from white sugar and cane sugar in the
same SCOBY hotel and would it matter what type of sugar is
used in the SCOBY hotel ?
Is there such a thing as ideal number of layers/thickness of a SCOBY?
How many layers should a SCOBY have when it is put into a SCOBY hotel?
Can all SCOBY's be used for fermentation or put in a SCOBY hotel for future use eg.
even SCOBY's which do not float on the surface/have sunk ?
My understanding is that the newest SCOBY layer is on top and that a SCOBY layer turns
very brown when it is too old/wasted (bottom layer). Is it important which layer of
the SCOBY faces upwards ? Which layer should face upwards if you have a new grown
layer and have thrown away the bottom layer ?
I would like to separate one or more layers from an old SCOBY but they don't separate
easily - is the SCOBY "destroyed" if a piece of a layer is torn apart when separating them ?
What is the best practice for dividing a SCOBY so as to have two SCOBYs - do you just
take the newest layer and start the new SCOBY with that or wait till there are more layers
and separate a SCOBY of more than one layer thickness ?
