Guest guest Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Okay, have made 2 wonderful batches of KT. I left the Scobey in the large jar and added the new one from the smaller jar and left some KT in the jar, enough to cover all of them nicely! Now, what I do notice is that I have now grown ANOTHER Scobey on top of the older ones in the hotel. My question is; I assume this is fine so just leave them be? And, do I need to add more KT after a week or 2 since the KT in the hotel is from last week, my first large batch. Probably not ready for another brew for about a week or possibly 2 so want to make sure I don't lose the Scobeys I have. Thanks for any input!!

After a week, I had two, so I started fermenting two batches at a time. This week each scoby produced another one, so now I have 4. Do they multiply like rabbits or what? I figured I'd leave two together in each jar, hoping it would maybe make a fizzier kt? But this time next week I should have even more. Is that the point at which to start a hotel? > Hi Peggy, You can start a Scoby-hotel as soon as you have even only one redundant scoby. You can stack any new ones on top and keep them topped up with fresh KT. I use the older, more acidic KT from the 'hotel' for adding to new brews, as the acidicty is excellent for preventing mold. kombuchaly, Margret UK :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
