Re: Cast in the wrong mould!

Dear ,

No SCOBY does not necessarily mean no KT. If you add plain,

sugared tea to existing starter, a scoby will build up, but I have read

on the internet that you thus risk getting a scoby with less than the

full composition of bacteria. If you have nothing else to start with,

at least you will get a functional mushroom until you have a new scoby.

(Did you ever find your scoby?). In any case, to be on the safe side,

it is always best to have several batches going. If one is damaged, you

still have several going.
