Guest guest Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I've been going to thrift stores & buying any kind of container I can get my hands on. The first book I ever read on it , The essential Kombucha , she used everything, fishbowls, big salad bowls. I have used glass beer pitchers, slow cooker inserts, vases etc. Restaurants & bars throw out gal. jars all the time, the marachino cherries, olives, etc. come in them.                                         \                                         \                Good Luck  From: Sue F <ctrydnc@...> Subject: Hibernating scobies kombucha tea Date: Sunday, April 11, 2010, 7:16 AM  OK, it has been 9 days since I jump started them with some more very sweet tea. It has grown a very beautiful huge off white smooth top and bottom 1/3 in. thick baby in the 1 gal jar it is living in. The tea tastes blah tho, little to no fizz. This baby has NO ooglies. Does this mean not enough yeast action? Should I leave it longer? Give up on it and toss tea and keep baby? My other one in the half gal jar has also formed a nice baby with ooglies and the tea tastes yummy. Sweet and tart at the same time with nice fizz. I want to bottle that up and start my 3rd batch probably with ebay mom and both babies but I want to use my 1 gal jar that hibernating scobies are in. I really need to do this within the next day or 2 and I don't really want to buy another jar. Or maybe I will got to Wal Mart and buy a gal jar of pickles and , , , ,toss the pickles, , , ,so I can use the jar. I don't really like pickles and don't know anybody who would want a whole gal of them. Help! Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
