The scoby I received was super unhealthy. It was very thin and almost disintegrated in my hands. I gave it a try and after two weeks, there was no fermentation action at all. The scoby sunk to the bottom and turned a weird dark color…almost like it was dead. Extremely disappointing. I ordered a scoby from a different company. It came thick and healthy, and I noticed fermentation within a few days. If you’re looking for a scoby, this is not the one.

I know scobys take a second to rebuilt their health, especially qith changing tea brands and so on. But this sucker took well over a month and 2 WHOLE gallon batches (one totally wasted) to get it reasonably ready. It's finally getting there but it's still very slow going.

I was very skeptical about purchasing an online scoby. I had mine for over 8 years and they suddenly died completely. This one worked perfectly. I tried it the next day. 6 days later, I had amazing tasting kombucha.CON:One thing to be aware of, mine came with a lot of slimy and dark brown things floating in the brime. I throw that out. Clean the scoby. Then add my tea and I started my ferment. It worked well. The first ferment gave me 2 new scoby

For my first delve into making kombucha, this scoby was great, alive, and fast growing. Making my third batch now, ready to use a couple of the older scobies in the garden. Guessing I'll never have to buy another unless I take a long break from bucha making.

I've been brewing booch for a couple of years. My job, travels, and other stuff like doing laundry caused me to fail at maintaining a healthy SCOBY for making kombucha. This saved the day and performed as well as the family member/neighbor/yoga class member who said they'd provide a SCOBY to revive the effort. Fair price and good quality product!

I used to grow my own scoby using a bottle of GT Dave's classic kombucha, but since I could no longer find that one in any market near me I decided to try out this already made scoby. I started my continuous brew kombucha last Monday and today I have a beautiful scoby layer formed over all of my tea. Excellent product, would certainly recommend! My kombucha is not ready to drink yet as it is a little too sweet for me but I'm sure in another week will be perfect.

Durch verzögerte Lieferung und dann auch noch einem Feiertag kam der Scoby erst nach 7 Tagen an. Ich hatte schon etwas Bedenken, was sich im Nachhinein als unbegründet herausgestellt hat. Der Scoby war in einem einwandfreien Zustand, schön dick und es war so viel Flüssigkeit dabei, dass es als Ansatz für 3 - 4 Liter gereicht hätte. Ich hatte bereits alles für einen 2-Liter Ansatz vorbereitet und die gesamte Flüssigkeit dann auch dafür verwendet. Nach einer Woche war mein Kombucha fertig und hat auch schon einen kräftigen neuen Scoby hervorgebracht, mit dem ich nun sofort 4 neue Liter angesetzt habe.Ich trinke Kombucha schon seit vielen Jahren, immer mal wieder mit einer kleinen Pause, komme aber auch immer wieder darauf zurück. Wenn ich meine Scobys längere Zeit nicht brauche, kommen sie mit Ansatzflüssigkeit in den Kühlschrank, das funktioniert problemlos für mehrere Wochen. So bin ich jahrelang mit meinen Scobys hingekommen. Meine letzte Kombuchapause war allerdings länger (mind. ein halbes Jahr), danach ist mein einziger Scoby, den ich aufbewahrt hatte, nicht mehr so richtig in die Gänge gekommen, deshalb sollte ein neuer her. Dieser bzw. seine "Nachkommen" werden vermutlich auch wieder jahrelang meinen Bedarf decken :-)

We tried making our own scoby and it took weeks to finally get a very small scoby which we almost missed sitting at the bottom of our jar. It fell apart when we tried to move it to make a big jar of kombucha. We decided to go ahead and buy a scoby and it came well packaged and it worked. We've now bottled our first batch of kombucha and it tastes pretty good. We added some home grown tangerines for flavor and to get the carbonation and just tried the finished product today. Not bad and it's really not a very difficult process once you get into it. Plan to experiment with ginger and other fruits At the price one pays for store bought kombucha, it's really cool to make your own. The health benefits are said to be excellent and we're into it now! We bought a gallon jar from Target which was around $12 to $15 (husband can't remember) but that was the best price we found. Then we're using bottles from Trader Joes Ginger brew with the gro-lock tops (whatever they're called with the clamp down). These are large and work great but we were told Trader Joes won't be selling that once they've sold out. Great price of $2.99 per bottle and you get to drink the brew, too. Most bottles we looked at online were much more pricey. Hope this is helpful. Happy kombucha making! :)

I loved my new Scoby I’m still waiting on my first brew to complete I started a bit larger then what is normally done with 2 gallons so I checked it a 7 days will check it again in about 3 more days. My new scoby came healthy and with a decent amount of starter tea. I’m so happy to begin my kombucha journey at home.

The SCOBY arrived quickly and was packaged well. I used it within two days of its arrival to start a large (12-cup/0.75 gallon) kombucha culture. After making the sweetened tea and adding the SCOBY + starter culture the SCOBY arrived in, the pH was perfect - I did not need to add any vinegar like I have with other SCOBYs. The SCOBY/starter culture was very active and within 9 days my kombucha had formed a .25-inch thick x ~7-inch diameter (diameter of my fermentation jar) baby SCOBY and was ready for the second (flavored) fermentation. I highly recommend SCOBYs from Brew Your Kombucha. Mine performed great right out of the packaging - it wasn't slow to get started and I didn't have to baby it along in smaller kombucha batches. Also, they have a great website with tons of useful information and yummy recipes for flavoring second fermentations of your kombucha.
