Re: starting new batch question

[Guest guest]

Bridget...yes, you can certainly do that. Taking a spare out will disrupt

the formation of the baby in that container, but it will not disrupt the

fermentation of the brew. A new baby will start to form after you have

removed the extra SCOBY, but will likely not be very thick when you harvest

the one gallon brew.

It's ok to just leave the disrupted one or remove it...which ever you

prefer.

Remember to use finished KT or distilled/pasteurised vinegar over your new 2

gallon brew.

Just ask if anything wasn't clear...Good Luck!!

Hi Bridget,

I'd wait but you could probably do it either way.

Peace, Love and Harmony,
