Guest guest Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I don't recommend you grow your scoby for a bottle of kombucha you drank directly from. If your mouth never touched the kt then you can cover the bottle with a paper towel or thin cloth (like muslin) stick it in a warm place and let it be. I did add a slight teaspoon to my kombucha to speed the process, it took about 2 weeks for a tiny little scoby to grow over the top of the bottle.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Dove, I did not drink from the bottle, instead I poured it into a glass. You said you added a " slight teaspoon " to your kombucha to speed the process....as slight teaspoon of what? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 This may not be related,but. When bottling a batch of KT. I did take a small sip of the starter tea I set aside to make a new batch. That new batch got mold on it 2 days later when I checked on it. I had thought that the ph was high enough and the tea acidic enough that it would be ok. it may have been a coincidence that that batch went bad or I may have contaminated it. . I don't recommend you grow your scoby for a bottle of kombucha you drank directly from. If your mouth never touched the kt then you can cover the bottle with a paper towel or thin cloth (like muslin) stick it in a warm place and let it be. I did add a slight teaspoon to my kombucha to speed the process, it took about 2 weeks for a tiny little scoby to grow over the top of the bottle.
