momma and baby scoby kept together

[Guest guest]

Can the momma and baby scoby stay connected to go into the next batch.

I am running out of room, Do they have to be separated each time? They

are very thin , about a 1/4 inch thick each. I heat my house with a

wood burning stove and the back of the house where I keep them is

about 70 degrees. I would love to set them on the ,mantle but there is

too much ash. I would hate to waste them. thanks, nne

nne, absolutely leave them together. There is absolutely no rule that

says you must separate them each time, and quite a number of us let the

SCOBYs stack up a couple of inches. The reasons usually cited for doing

are: 1) It seems to conserve the effervescence better, and 2) It seems to

make a better tasting brew.

Regardless of what reasons people have for letting them stack up, or why

those reasons might be true, don't worry. It is totally ok to do so.

I keep my scobies together all the time. I sometimes have as many as four in one

jar, because of having too many scobies and also because I like those guys

working as a team to produce better tea. Also, I think 1/4 inch scobies is a

very good thickness. Mine are often thinner. The resulting KT is still

excellent.
