How do I store the scoby's when not in use?
Store your kombucha scoby in 300 mL (10 US fl oz) of starter culture from your previous batch, in the refrigerator. If it has been stored for more than 2 weeks take it out the night before brewing and follow the below instructions.
- Dissolve 1⁄4 cup (50g) of white sugar in 250 mL (8.5 US fl oz) of brewed black tea.
- Allow to cool to room temperature before adding your starter culture and scoby.
- This will give the scoby a jump start to come out of hibernation.
- The next day follow the Mad Millie Kombucha How to Guide but you now have double the starter fluid so take this into account with your brewing vessel.
