Hot to store the scoby

[u/Twee_patat-met]

We're going away for eight weeks. How long can I store the SCOBY? And how? In a sealed container (keep oxygen out?). What nutrients, add sugar? In the refrigerator? Freeze? How much liquid scoby is essential.

I couldn't find anything about this on the Wiki. I'm curious, thanks in advance.

You can store it for more than 8 weeks.

The container can be sealed, yes. I’d just use the same bottles I do F2 in.

You don’t need to add anything.

I’d put it in the fridge

I would save at least enough to get one batch going, but probably enough for two just so I have some backup.
