Ahhh, the eternal question. Since you grow a new SCOBY each time you make kombucha, you’ll have to get creative. The SCOBYs can stack on top of each other and form a SCOBY hotel. I’ve fed them to a friend’s chickens, used them as fertilizer in my garden, given them away—the list goes on and on.
Insulated Packaging & Ice Packs
If it's hot in your area (over 90° F), we recommend having your order shipped with insulated packaging and ice packs.
Here are a few things you should know:
- This will help your cultures stay cool for up to the first 72 hours of travel
- The package usually won't arrive cold
- This is ok, we just don't want your cultures to get too hot along the way (over 100°F)
- You'll still need to be home when the package arrives so you can bring it inside right away
- This shipping add-on doesn't count towards the $99 needed for free shipping
