Was: Something I would like to share with you (and if this doesn't work, I give up!)

[Guest guest]

I was trying to mention to Dana, that I know that I get a beautiful thick scoby

in my quart size scoby hotel after a number of weeks (with double coffee filters

to slow down the growth) but because of the really acidic starter tea in it, it

really gets nice and thick. Of course we also get a nice little scoby on each

of our finished kt after bottling up and carbonating. I noticed that Barb said

it set out with a lid on it for 6 weeks, and am wondering if since she lives in

Florida, if she doesn't have air conditioning with temperatures of 70 to 75

degrees F. in her home, which is probably why I don't have problems not feeling

the need to burp my carbonating bottles, but I do notice that they carbonate

much faster with a higher amount of carbonation, when the temperatures raise to

80 and 85 inside the house. (We don't have air conditioning since there are so

few months that it gets really hot here, in Alaska) Am also wondering how much

liquid was in that jar, that might have had something to do with it not

exploding, as well. Any answers for us, Barb? Jeani

Jeani, I should have told you that the jar was a green olive wide

mouth jar, it was half full of liquid. It was also left in Georgia

at our cabin for the six weeks. It gets cool here at night time and

as long as the cabin is closed up it stays about 75 to 78 degrees due

to being in the woods. I guess there isn't a real seal on this type

screw top jar and I don't understand how it stayed so white and nice

as there was no KT on top of it.

Barb - there doesn't need to be any KT on top of it. As long as it's covered

to keep buggies and mold spores from getting in- and there's tea underneath the

scoby, it will be fine. The scoby is like a sponge. It sucks the moisture up

from underneath. Isn't that cool? I just think the Kt cultures are so neat.

posted and from our everlasting research on the internet-hah! I love talking

about kt (just in case you couldn't tell-LOL!!!!!!) It is such wonderful stuff!

Duh, I guess I was having a blonde moment (albeit a dirty dishwater blonde-hah!)

Mine start out with starter tea on top, as well as mixed in with the sweet tea,

and by the time it ends up being ready to bottle up, there isn't any liquid on

top! Guess if I would have thought about a little longer- I might have been

able to clear the cobwebs from my blonde head, snicker, snicker! I guess I do

remember reading that the scoby is like a sponge on the internet, so much

information, where will I ever put it!!!!!!! O.k. it's time to go do something

else now that I've admitted I'm a blonde! (my husband says I'm not a DUMB

blonde- only sometimes-lol!) Jeani

LOL No, not at all. We feel the same way about kefir and will soon about kt.

Sometimes if almost feels like evangelizing! LOL!! Can you identify with that?

Oh yes, when we love to tell what works for us such as kombucha, we want to tell

the world! Somebody recently said someday I'd get tired of talking about kt,

we'll see how long it takes, as I find that some things never grow old, or they

shouldn't anyway! lol!! I think my friends are all tuckered out though from my

enthusiasm about kt, and how good it is for you! hah! Jeani
