Relocation To Warmer Climates

I’ve decided to move all my jars to the upper part of my kitchen cabinets. Since I have 10 foot ceilings, it is considerably warmer up there than it is down here where the Scobies and I were living initially. I believe it’s about 70 degrees up there, possibly a bit more. 

My experimental SCOBY is showing some signs of life. There is a nice foam developing around the sides of the jar, which tells me some ferment is going on ( I hope.) There is no sign of mold as of now. I have it triple covered with paper towels and was extremely cautious with it. Since he’s not a fully formed SCOBY, he doesn’t have the same type of acidic protection against invaders, or so my Internet research tells me. Therefore, I’m being extra careful with him and not moving him or jostling him in any way, save for moving him to higher, warmer ground. 

I also bottled more Santos and more Ramirez, this time with 3 slices of fresh ginger root in each jar. I’ve heard they’re good for bubbles! And flavor, of course.
