This morning my cabbage rolled off the top of my refrigerator shelf and down into the bottom section, where my pending Kombucha mother-child was safely located in a large mason jar. The cabbage attack successfully tipped over the jar, spilling its contents on the kitchen floor. I quickly increased the 5 second rule to 15, allowing for some brief anguish and much sadness as I watched the helpless virgin Kombucha slip across the white tiles.
that's beautiful.
and sad. did the zooglea/scoby/pancake survive? mine was looking funky in a bad way, and i washed it with water. i don't know if this is ok.
you know, i'm much more into watching this stuff grow than i am into drinking it.
what was your cabbage doing on the top shelf? it sounds hazardous. you wouldn't put a bowling ball on the top shelf.
It certainly has survived and produced more mothers.
I would say that if it yours received any contamination from the floor, it would produce mold on the top, and would be a good idea to start over. That looks like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6a/Kombucha_mold_2.jpg
But of course that would obviously be a bad sign.
My cabbage rests on the top shelf because it's the only shelf I have at the moment.
And no, I wouldn't put a bowling ball on the top shelf because they don't need to be cold. I also don't think I'll ever own a bowling ball.
I find it incredible that we're discussing this.
For some reason the link gets cut off. But it's on the Kombucha wikipedia article
that kombucha is incredibly resilient!
i can't believe what mine has survived.
to be honest, i'm not a huge fan of drinking it, but i really like to grow things. i left some in a glass in my room, with some lemon juice and agave and a straw in it. about a month later, i finally washed the jar and saw that it had reproduced! in a dirty jar with a straw and my germs in it. crazy.
i stocked cabbages on the top shelf at the co-op yesterday and remembered what a bad idea it was but i did it anyway!
