rushing my booch

Hey fellow boochie lovers! I'm getting ready to go on vacation and was wondering if there was something I could do to rush my booch.  My initial 7 day ferment would be up on Thurs or Fri and we are leaving Thurs.  I usually tend to let it go for 7-10 days for the initial and then was letting it ferment in the bottle for about 4 days before drinking.  However, we've been drinking more lately and I don't have enough to last me through that initial 4 days.  So, I start drinking it right away and…See More

How do I mail SCOBYs??

I have someone that I need to send a SCOBY to but have no clue how I should package it.  How do you all do it so that it doesn't leak, how much tea do I need to send w/ it, do I just mail it with standard shipping or will that take too long?  Help asap please!!  Thanks much!  :) BrandySee More
