Moving bowl stops formation of that baby. A new one starts.

Dear Donna,

I thought the way to prevent mold was to pour acidic starter over the momma

after she is put in to brew, in the cooled tea and sugar solution.

Blessings on you all. LOve. MArge.

I live in a very humid place...Florida! If I was going to have a mold

problem...it would be here. I simply make sure that I am adding a

sufficient amount of starter tea (I usually use 2 cups to a gallon jar)

which I pour over my scobys after I add them to the brew, then I put on my

cover and place the jars in a location where they won't be disturbed until

tasting time. I always make sure I have sufficient tea to use as starter by

pulling off the two cups before I bottle each batch. If I am not going to

restart that batch immediately, I return the scobys to the jar after

bottling and pour the two cups of starter tea back in with them and cover

until I am ready to brew again. Works fine for me and NO mold.
