Sometimes I question my life decisions when I’m avoiding work to watch videos about scoby hotels

[tracylstuan]

i have left my scoby hotel unattended for 3 years and i started brewing again 6 months ago, no problem at all!

Can’t help singing in my head 🎶” Welcome to the hotel for my scobies🎶anytime of year (anytime of year) you can keep them here”🎶😊

Tossing a SCOBY is throwing away a very Nutritional item full of B-1, B-2, B-6, *B-12, etc…….. I marinate mine in concentrated juice.
Then I put in blender, then layout in the Dehydrator to make Fruit Bucha Rollups. They are also good for Composts.

I have just reached a point where I don't feel like brewing another gallon jar of black tea. I was settling in to watch a few dozen videos to answer all my questions about how to safely store my scobys. Yours was the first one I watched. You answered ALL of my questions, and some I did not know I had. You did it clearly, simply, and with much friendliness and respect in your attitude. There is no need for me to keep searching for answers.

NOW WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH ALL THE TIME I HAD SCHEDULED TO WATCH MORE

Sigh, back to cleaning and reorganizing my kitchen... CURSES!

Thank you for your excellent videos. I tried to make kombucha years ago and failed. I took all my cleaned kombucha gear and stuck in a cabinet in the basement. Have been interested in trying again. I've watched other videos to get inspired again and came across your channel. Success! My first new batch yielded one plain, four cherry and four grape individual bottles. All fizzie and tasty. Family won't try them though. My second larger batch is flavored with homegrown and canned pears. Thank you. My Scoby mow lives in a hotel for now. Wife is tired of seeing the kombucha vessel sitting on the counter. Now I have to contend with more than a dozen bottles of kombucha in the fridge. Thank you again for your channel.

Started my scoby from gt's raw kombucha (the less alcoholic one that happened to have kiwi juice) and so far i've made some great brews. I have started my hotel and the main jar is growing great scobys. What a fun hobby!

[kyliemack]

You are amazing! I am so glad I found this channel; every question I have had along the way you have had a clear and concise answer. Thanks 🥂
