Re: silly, silly question from a newbie

Hi , No genuine question is 'silly' here! Ask, and ye shall learn ;-)

My advice is to build up your supply gradually.

Get another fermentation vessel and make up the recipe as before,

being careful to add a generous amount of ready fermented KT .

The liquid culture (KT) is at least as important as the actual scoby.

It should be at least 10 per cent of the total volume of the brew.

You can use one or more scobys in each brew. In each case (even with no

initial scoby) it will make another solid culture on the top of the vessel.

By staggering your brew (Maybe start one brew on day one and another on

day 4) you would ensure a better supply of fresh KT for yourself - and some

friends?

Good! Kombucha is a hardy 'animal'. As long as you lace each brew

with a good supply of acidity, and discard the extra yeast on the bottom

of the fermentation container, you'll be a happy brewer and drinker!

All the best and Happy Easter!
