There are many ways to obtain kombucha cultures, which I describe
here.
I would like to present the
Kombucha SCOBY Exchange on Facebook, which is sort of a Facebook version of the
Worldwide Kombucha Exchange.
I previously suggested that individuals who were looking for SCOBYs or who had extra SCOBYs to share to write a post on Kombucha Fuel's Facebook wall. However, over time, I found that this was not very effective as the requests and offers got pushed down as people wrote new posts on the wall. I have thus created the
"Kombucha SCOBY Exchange" as a note on
Kombucha Fuel on Facebook. This way, all of the SCOBY requests and offers are together, making it easier for those who are looking for kombucha cultures to connect with individuals in their area who have extra SCOBYs available.
I hope that this will become a helpful resource, and if anyone has any comments, questions, or suggestions, I welcome them.
Below is a copy of the
Kombucha SCOBY Exchange note that I have put on Facebook:
Welcome to the Kombucha SCOBY Exchange!
Looking for a kombucha mushroom?
If you are looking for a kombucha mother, write a comment saying that you are looking for a SCOBY and list your location with as much information as you feel comfortable. If someone with extra SCOBYs in your area sees the request, hopefully they will contact you so you can schedule a pick-up!
Have extra kombucha mushrooms to share?
If you have extra kombucha mothers that you would like to share, likewise leave a comment and list your location with as much information as you feel comfortable. This way if someone is looking for a kombucha mushroom in your area, they can contact you! Also, please don't be shy if someone is already offering kombucha mothers in your area. It can be helpful to have multiple people offering SCOBYs in the same area!
Tips:
-You can delete any of your own comment(s) at any time if your situation or location changes.
-If you find someone to connect with, consider contacting them directly. This will help to keep the Kombucha SCOBY Exchange more clutter free and easier to navigate.
Thank you for participating in the Kombucha SCOBY Exchange, and I hope you find this exchange useful!
Happy Brewing,
Annabelle
