I need a name for my Mama!

SCOBY update: It is getting thicker! We are at about an 1/8th of an inch, completely covering the surface.
I think in a week I will be able to start brewing my first batch. So excited and so jealous of all of you. At the same time, I am looking forward to getting all of these yummy flavors from all of you!

Hee hee, mental picture of frantic Susan: "I need clean towels and hot water! ... And some more jars!"

kb - my baby just had a baby. I know you want to grow your own, but if you get too impatient, let me know and I'll be happy to share.
You have grandbaby SCOBY!
I really need to take a picture but today I think I saw SCOBY! Very thin, but progress!
-
I will sneak a SCOBY photo op later. mm - that is VERY helpful info! With the mild to chilly weather here I have no doubt it will take a while. I am trying to be patient but with such SCOBY success all around it is hard!
LadyM - clearly ours is going to be well worth the wait!
-
I have SCOBY envy.
Mine has been going for 10 days I think. I have very little happening!!
-
Clearly I need a heat thing.
Or to move to Australia or Canada.
When do I wave the white flag and declare my SCOBY experiment a bust?

Paco is going to be thrilled when I show him this!
Yes, I share pics with my dog.

That is so cute. Hannah from KombuchaKamp likes hers plain and flat. I saw something about Kombucha ice pops so I ordered cute star shaped ice pop mold from Amazon today.
I think watermelon mint is my favorite flavor so far. I also think I prefer the less fruity ones. Cucumber mint made me happy. I am looking forward to golden beet and thyme. Also lime and Thai basil. Think Mojito with basil intead of mint.
You made the watermelon mint! I knew it would be good!
and you had me at mojito...
Nadia, I just want to squeeze your dad he is so cute!

People relax. Stop touching it and peeking. Sinking to the bottom is fine
Ok, so today another bottle just blew up into my face. Like all this crazy fizz right onto another dress and wet hair. They smell like booze because I didn't have time to wash them again. Speaking of booze, is it possible to over-second-ferment them? My bottles sat there for 4 days. That's way too much probably? I just didn't have time to bottle them. I don't drink alcohol and I taste it in my booch. I am not paranoid. I actually think I feel a bit drunk :D
Says the woman who asked a daily SCOBY question!
Now you have become an old pro!

I want my booch in fancy bottles! Alas, recycled will have to be my way to go. The part of me that loves to shop and gather wants the new and cute; the part of me that needs to get rid of shite is recycling!
SCOBY update: I think it is simply not warm enough. I peeked under the cloth this morning and I have not seen any SCOBY progress. I may just go ahead and order one to get this party started!

I understand. Sorry. My goodness, I feel a bit picked on..I do not adore the feeling. I will try to convert before I post recipes or amounts.
The beauty of the whole30 template. A palm size is a universal measurement we all can understand!

Wait. What do you want me to include in the original post?
I would be happy to include links to instructions for making scoby from GTs original and Kombucha Kamp. But creating an FAQ? That sounds like work to me!

Cool! I had not even considered Etsy!
-
Do you have anything like Craig's List where you are? A "Free to good home" ad may help you get them used up.
I keep offering to send Nadia my empties for some full ones but I have a feeling Kombucha wouldn't ship too well .

Oh lawdy. Then still fill with hot water to temper the glass, but bring other water to a boil. Dump hot water out and carefully fill bottles with boiling water. I say carefully because they can break if not tempered first. Let boiled water sit for 5-10 minutes. Label will peel right off. Use sticky side to remove leftover glue. Then resort to goof off.
I never have to resort to goof off. I am naturally good at it .
Kb, preparing to ship them?
My offer stands!

Edit to add: If you already ran the suckers through the DW, let me know. There is a different process for those.
Yep. They have been dishwashered.
