Guest guest Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 hi Neb There is always the possibility that the transit temps could reach the maximum temp the bacteria can withstand. Same for shipping live plants which i do a lot of. To avoid this, place a freexer cooling pack in w/ the scoby in its ziplock, then wrap it all in several alternating layers of plastic and paper grocerie type bags. This will create enough insulation to keep in the cool for the trip, assuming it's sent priority mail on the beginning of the week, barring holidays...plant people get away w/ it all the time....the cold will not damage the culture, unlike the heat which can blessings mark Heat wave safety ? I heard that K Scobies should not be sent via mail during the hot weather. Sealed in a plastic bag with the liquid then in outer packaging on planes and trucks for days in steaming heat would surely be as bad as cooking themwouldn't it? Does anyone know for a certainty about this? It sounds reasonable to me, the heat would be horrific, worse than anyone's home. Best wishes, neb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
