Got a SCOBY that sat in the fridge for 6 weeks and tried to revive it anyway
I had this pellicle from a friend in Austin that I left in a jar of starter tea way too long. After 6 weeks in the back of my fridge I figured it was dead but I thought hey let me try a batch with some fresh sweet tea anyway. It took a full 14 days before I saw any new growth on top and I was checking it every morning like a weirdo. The vinegar smell was super strong the whole time which had me worried but it finally pulled through. Has anyone else managed to bring back a SCOBY that looked like it was done for good?

14 days of waiting and you were basically nursing a science experiment back from the dead like some kind of kombucha vampire. Honestly that strong vinegar smell is just the SCOBY being dramatic and letting you know it's still alive but really mad about the fridge treatment. Ngl I'm impressed it pulled through because most of my fridge experiments just turn into moldy regrets.
