Brewers make the tea but SCOBY makes the booch! Kombucha SCOBY is a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast that is used for fermenting sweet tea into kombucha. Fermentaholics' Big Momma SCOBY culture comes with a 6" pellicle and 12 fl oz of liquid starter tea. Perfect for starting a 1-gallon batch of homemade kombucha.
We recommend the Big Momma for first time brewers, as this is considered the foolproof culture. It contains matured starter tea to give your kombucha a powerful kick start! Requires less monitoring than the classic culture, and is the ideal choice for anyone planning to use the "continuous brew" method of making kombucha.
With proper care and storage, you can reuse your culture for multiple batches. For short term storage, a clean, food grade container placed somewhere out of direct sunlight and left undisturbed is suggested. If you will not be using your SCOBY for an extended period of time, place it in a clean, food grade container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. Feeding (adding new tea) as needed to keep the SCOBY from drying out.
