oh. mold is nasty!!! Hope your new start goes smoothly. The good thing is - at least here - that so many people are into making kombucha that it is easy to get a replacement scoby.

I think I underestimated how easily it can spread LoL
The spores can get trough fabric cloths and cross contaminate if the jars are close to each other :(

We always just use a bottle of GT and grow the baby :)

Yes. it is good to keep things very clean around ferments and canning and all of that. Glad you found a way to regrow a new one easily

Thank you! I'm glad too :)
Our SCOBIEs were all hanging in a cupboard and it spread so quickly!
First mould issue in 6 years so I guess that's not too bad! LoL
