Guest guest Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Hi folks, this is my first post on this group, but I've been enjoying the information I've read from others' messages. I've had my SCOBY mama about a month now. I made my first batch with 2 qt. Lipton black tea bags, shared the baby with a friend, made the second batch with organic oolong tea, refrigerated the mama, and made another batch using 2 qt. Lipton tea bags again. This time at the end of 10 days there was only a slight culture-like scum on top of the tea instead of a baby. After reading, I'm thinking the qt. tea bags are too much tea maybe? Anyway, I've started another batch using only 1 qt. Lipton tea bag and the mama that had been refrigerated. I have put the SCOBY that was in the batch that failed into the fridge covered with leftover KT from the oolong batch. Any suggestions on other changes I should make? I've got a Kleenex paper towel over the top of my culture container; will that give it enough air? Thanks for your help! Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
