• I thought my scoby had been binned but found it the other day. Made up some sugar tea, lobbed it in and left it. Couple of days later it smells like it's going the right way (then again, I put some liquid in from the scoby so it could be that) but the scoby is hiding somewhere near the bottom of the jar... is this normal or did 8 months lost in my kitchen cupboard kill the scoby?

  • Putting some old scoby liquid in is always best because it's acidic and will stop less desirable organisms from taking over. I've refreshed from scratch and had SCOBY float back to the top but often I just end up with a new scoby growing on the surface and eventually I'll carefully lift up the new one, bin the old submariner and then place the new one back on the surface.
