A friend of mine has started a kombucha website where brewers and drinkers can

share knowledge, and recipes, and anything pertaining to this wonderful art. the

web address is http:www.kombuchanation.ning.com

stop by and help get this site off the ground, and help us build a place where

we can enjoy, and share this great art with the world!!

Hehehe, ! That went through my head as well :-)

I wonder why people would want to start another group to want to start

another group? What's the dissatisfaction with the one we've got?

I do a lot of private Kombucha/Kefir coaching of folk I have sent cultures

too, which adds a great personal component, bur even in my busyness, I

always feel part of the big worldwide community this represents.

This KT group here is a lovely family of all different kinds of people

and time and climactic zones which makes a very enriching community

in which newbies can develop safely! ;-)

kombuchaly,

Margret ...hoping it's not going to rain on my washing again ;-)

I did not find anything at this site. Was there a typing error?

I am alway interested in different sites that discuss kt (or anything for that

matter) because you will find there is usually new people with different

opinions there. I have found tons of info. here but am always curious about

others experiences.

Thanks,

Aspenwolf, the site that link goes to lists several sites that

commercially sell Kombucha and related products.

That is not allowed as was posted yesterday. See below:

NO COMMERCIAL ADVERTISING

With the exception of the list owner, list members may not post to

this list about Kombucha related products for sale, nor place links to

commercial Kombucha sites, or advertisements, anywhere, on the

Original Kombucha list including in their posts to the list, or in the

FILES and LINKS sections.

Mention of items for sale, other than those on commercial Kombucha

sites, are only allowed in posts when it is relevant to the discussion

taking place on the list. SPAM is not allowed ever!

List members may list URL's to products, other than Kombucha products,

which they sell _in their signature lines_ as long as their total

signature does not exceed seven lines.

Please refrain in the future.

Hi, I have to brews going and my husband just started drinking. While

I am happy about this I need to increase my brews so that I don't run

out midweek. I usually keep the baby in the brew for an additional

week as I thought I heard that I should. Well, I gave all of my

babies away last week and was wondering if I can separate the mom/baby

to make another brew or keep them together for an additional week.

Thanks,

le,

It is preferred that you keep mom and baby together rather than

pulling them apart, but you can cut them in half or

quarters if you need to make additional brews.

Reason being is that certain yeasts and/or bacteria may be

hanging out in one layer or the other, by taking pie shaped

wedges you have a bit of each layer.

Another lesson - Never give away your last spare scoby.

Suppose you were to get mold or something ? Always keep at least

one spare for yourself.

Happy Brewing.

I keep mine together indefinitely. Once in a great while they

separate themselves, then Im always sure to include a piece of the

" mother " with the baby.

Because of the layering, it seems to be instinct to want to separate

the layers, but I've been told this is not the best way to do it.

Cutting does not hurt the scoby and of course the baby always

takes the size and shape of your brewing container.

Giving to friends is a great thing to do but always keep one spare

just in case. ;-)
