Good move, ! I brew with several scobys as well.

Absolutely! You might have the added surprise of a new scoby growing on top

of your scoby-hotel-KT. As the microflora of bacteria and yeasts also

live in the KT liquid, you still got a Kombucha culture albeit in liquid

form. The bacteria in the liquid will continue to do what they are extra

good at: Build a new scoby top mat, probably an extra beautiful one, as

bubbles from a yeasty brewing activity don't disturb the surface as much.

It should be plain and joyous sailing for you, !

Thanks Margaret...

I sooo didn't want to lose all of the good stuff and may start another hotel

just to watch this one grow a scoby.

I enjoyed your web site. Lot's of great info.

Thanks!!
