Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 > what does " scoby " mean ... where does it come from? Back in 95 we were looking for a name to distinguish the growth from the liquid. Guenther 's book had described the ferment as a symbiotic culture of yeast and bacteria. I switch the last couple of words around and suggested we come up with a name like SCOBY (for Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast). I was hoping to inspire some other better names but instead the group clung to it and Colleen , then List owner, had it registered as an official acronym. Anybody remember where she registered it? Just curious. > why does the mother sink sometimes? Moms that float have more trapped bubbles in the SCOBY indicating strong yeast activity. > Is the tea too warm? The tea should feel cool to the touch before adding the culture and starter. - Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
