Re[2]: Beginner's Question

[Guest guest]

This has also been my observation. In fact you could take one of those qt

sized pieces, cut it into smaller pieces and use just one

wee little piece of it. The baby will take the size and shape of the brewing

vessel. Actually you don't even need a scoby as long

as you have a good amount of " starter " ( finished KT) This will eventually

form its own scoby.
