Growing kombucha SCOBY
In the course about kombucha which was amazing, it’s suggested to purchase a SCOBY from friends, which worked fine for me, but later on my friends recommended to try growing my own from a soil. The reason behind was explained to me, as SCOBY grown from my own soil would contain wider range of yeasts more suitable to my environment, as opposite to most commercially grown SCOBYs contain only few specific ones. In other words, it’s same situation as using commercial yeast which is usually Saccharomyces cerevisiae species only, as opposite to growing your sourdough which contains a hundreds of different yeasts from the enviornment. My inquiry is about further instructions on growing my own SCOBY, if you have experience to share I would appreciate to know which soil should I choose and what would be the exact process to grow my own SCOBY feeding it with molasses.
