where to get a kombucha culture

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm new here and am looking for a kombucha starter so I can make my own

kombucha. Does anyone have an extra baby they could part with? or can anyone

recommend a reliable source to purchase one through? I already paid for one and

the seller never came through with the kombucha culture.

Also, has anyone ever used a heating pad to keep the jar with scoby and

sweetened tea warm as it incubates?  My house is quite chilly (60-63*) and I am

wondering if I might do better with some kind of a warmer for brewing the

kombucha. Thanks!
