Kombucha SCOBY Attempts To Climb Out of Fermentation Jar

- The Kombucha SCOBY sometimes climbs out of the jar, and when that happens, we get panicked questions about it! The SCOBY (or pellicle) is a cellulose matrix created by and covered in bacteria. Rest assured, it does not have legs and cannot actually climb out of the jar to escape!

When learning how to make Kombucha, you may find all kinds of unusual things happen. Each of these strange events offers a glimpse into the Kombucha brewing process. A Kombucha SCOBY and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) build-up can do strange things!
The living energy of Kombucha SCOBYs and Carbon Dioxide combine for a WEIRD and wild culture movement. The SCOBY levitates by way of the CO2 produced by the yeast and wedges itself into the mouth of the jar, creating an airtight seal. It is common to see the SCOBY a bit elevated above the Kombucha tea (though usually not like this!), but all you need to do is gently poke it back down so the SCOBY will return to normal fermentation.

My scoby crawled out of the jar and kissed my cheek the other night before I chased it back into the pantry.
this is in my recommendations 6 years after it's uploaded.
that SCOBY might have taken over the whole city by now
I found my scoby doing this today. So creepy at first but thank you for the explanation! So cool!
I have a scoby that fidgets: in the last week, it's gone down, it's gone up, it's gone down, it's gone sideways, and today it's kind of in the middle of the jar, and has gently somersaulted. Maybe tomorrow it will make a break for freedom? I'll keep an eye on it. And a whip and chair handy. Just in case.
+drhandle did someone call me ? hehehe
its the scoby ,telling you it wants a bigger housing ;-)
I just ordered. my first scoby looking forward to making my first K. I'll be going over your video again and again to make sure i do it right
Getting the grains out of my diet, and adding kombucha and kefir water really helped my abdominal discomfort and gave me a huge boost of energy! It is the best ever!
Poke a hole in the center of the SCOBY so carbonation can't be trapped underneath. And you must keep the hole open because the SCOBY growth will close it.
Interesting strategy! The hole will fill in over time as you observed. That's because the SCOBY is sealing the surface to prevent pathogens from entering the brew and creating an anaerobic environment for continued fermentation.
it sealed against the side, and the release of CO2 pushed it out. they can pop out sometimes. trim off the side of the pancake to prevent
Even if you trim it, the new layer will grow to fit the entire surface area.
WOW. No wonder it's sometimes called the placenta. Very curious! Okay, now I need to do deeper research. (which is a blessing and a curse) THANK YOU MOMMA!! WE LOVE YOU!
"...its alive"
That was so cute.
I was thinking about doing this. I heard Kombucha is apparently SO good for you!
Your Title tho! I seriously am paranoid that my scoby is alive and will get me like the Blob! I know I can't be the only one out there.
I've had a SCOBY pop out of my gallon jar overnight recently. It pushed up the fluid trapped in top and when the coffee filter got wet from it, I had kombucha wicking all over my countertop. Ack!
I push them down morning and evening each day now. I also have to cut some partly with scissors to avoid this.
But yes, I've had some major climbers too!
I had the same problem! I used this muslin (see-thru curtain material) and it went all of the counter and floor. Now, I poke a 1/4"-1/2" hole in the center so the bubbles can escape but you must keep the hole open since the SCOBY growth will close it. (like ice fishing lol) I also taste test thru that hole with a straw. I still push them down daily to keep the top wet. I wonder why do some have this doming-up issue and others don't?
how cool! Love the magic of cultured life!
That's actually pretty cute.
we had jars out at my old job and people used to think they where alive.
Was looking for advice on what to do with a very active scoby, and found you here.
(Mine isn’t quite as active as yours was, though ... crikey!)
Ha ha ha ha!
Very very interesting! Thanks sharing...
My pleasure!
Wow, you should totally name that SCOBY!
Wow! Your scoby looks really healthy. How'd you get started? I'd like to get started, but do not know where to get the scoby to begin with. Any suggestions? Thanks for the great video
Even jars have to burp now and then.
Yes, that happened to me once. It was with a huge two gallon jar. The mistake was that I filled up the jar too much.
Mine literally does this all the time! I find it so fascinating!
me too!
Wow how is it so white. It’s so pretty!!!!
That is freaky af
I just came back from my trip and found my SCOBY doing that too, about the same size jar...Cool to see huh?
EPIC never seen that before truely uniqu thank you for shareing! i have a beast of a scoby mother i'm thinking of makeing a video about its 1 1/4 inches thick :D
Hi Kombucha Mama...I'm new to this and (read your webpage) and have joined your newsletter.I was wondering if you could advise me on how i store my mother?I've read that you dont store it in the fridge..then on other websites they say the opposite.Thanks :) One love
I see you guys have international shipping... wouldn't the SCOBYs die by the time they are delivered? how long are they supposed to last while packaged ready for shipping?
It's a sentient being now! And you're trying to kill it!
Its still alive! Just back in the liquid - isn't the "yeast umbilical cord" cool!
I like your attitude. SCOBYs are pretty gross, but are one of our very best friends!
click on the link below the video to get started brewing your own!
Mine did the same thing about half as far out of the kombucha as yours 🤣
Its aliveeeeeee
It's alive! True Story!
nice...
:-)
(i'm nikos from facebook)
Wow
Haha
I hope you washed your hands before touching it.
my starling I’m sure she knows how to handle a scoby, hitler lmao
No need! The low pH kills pathogens on contact and I know where my hands have been - lol =)
Gross.
Its going to crawl into your bed!!! lol
