How to Maintain your SCOBY Hotel to have Vibrant Cultures

The Kombucha Mamma discusses how to maintain your SCOBY Hotel to have vibrant cultures ready to brew!
In this video, Hannah Ruhamah, the Kombucha Mamma is going to show you the best practices for maintaining your SCOBY Hotel. You never know when you might need that extra SCOBY to start a new batch.
The SCOBY Hotel is a place for your SCOBY to rest and recuperate, taking a break from being used as an active part of your continual Kombucha-making cycle. The more you take care of your SCOBYs, the bigger and healthier they get and the more kombucha brewing power you'll have! Learn how to maintain a healthy SCOBY, so you can make and drink more delicious kombucha tea. 🍷www.kombuchaka...
Kombucha tea is a fermented drink, typically sweetened with sugar. The SCOBY is a protective layer of bacteria and yeast that forms on the surface of the liquid during fermentation. Scobys need to be cared for to keep them healthy and free from contamination.
Moreover, I explain what you need to know about cleaning your SCOBY hotel, maintaining it, and feeding your SCOBY. Feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions or comments.

This is all new to me. It seems to me that if you have a scout with mold you wouldn’t want to use the liquid in the jar. Just wondering.

[@KombuchaKamp]

Correct! If there's mold then we need to toss everything & start over

[@TheLauroz]

Hi Hannah, thanks for so much knowledge. I want to know how long can a hotel go without adding sweet tea? Thanks!

[@KombuchaKamp]

Best to refresh every few weeks - ie once a month. It can potentially go longer but if you wait too long, the cultures might go dormant and then molder.

[@ccorfield2243]

Again I don’t get it. How are brewing without having used a scoby from a mold hotel? Are you keeping two hotels.

[@danajones3818]

Why did the video just cut off… wast of time.👎

[@KombuchaKamp]

what information were you seeking that you didn't find in the video? We have loads of articles on our website and check out our book, The Big Book of Kombucha, for more details on maintaining a SCOBY Hotel

[@masternatedaily2595]

Great video. Only comment is that the SCOBY is the liquid. The pellicle is the mass that you refer to as the scoby

[@cookielatina4529]

You aren't suppose to use metal strainer!!!!

[@KombuchaKamp]

Not accurate!

[@masternatedaily2595]

They use stainless for everything in plants...
