Just be aware that you may not want to have the mother THAT hot. Perhaps try opening the door to your oven a bit so that it's warm but not that warm? I know it sounds so picky because the truth is you CAN grow a mother in such warm circumstances, but supposedly it provides the BEST balance of nutrients at 72-76 degrees.

I have had the "Mother" in the roaster oven at about 80-84 degrees and I refed it another cup of black lipton with a tablespoon of sugar and about 1/2 cup of kombucca. It has started growing!!! It is not thick yet but it is one piece and it is the size of the pyrex bowl I am growing it in. Fingers crossed!!! Update on the Kombucca.

I am hoping to be able to proof bread and ferment my veges and make kefir in it. I will let you all know how that goes. I will put the very small scoby in the roaster and see what it does before i throw it out. thanks again Kristen

If it's not, then something went mysteriously wrong. KAthy — Yes, the SCOBY should grow to cover the entire surface area. If it’s not, then something went mysteriously wrong.

I just wanted to clarify that if mine does not grow that big (which it is not) I shouldn't use it. I guess I will order one. thanks Kristen

I recently bought some Kombucca and each bottle had a little quarter size mushroom? I think that is what it is anyway. My question is can I use that to make another batch of my own or does it have to be large like the one I saw advertised online? Next question I have been trying to make my own "mother" mushroom and have formed one that is small and kind of yellowish in color. I guess I just need to know if the size of the "mother" makes any difference. Thanks ahead for the answer I have a Kombucca question.
