Review: Professional Grade Scoby for Big Batches - I have been brewing small jars of kombucha for a while, but I finally decided to scale up to a 5-litre continuous brew. I was a bit skeptical about ordering a live culture online, especially one claiming to be "Large," as I have been burned before by getting a tiny sliver of a scoby in a bag of brown water. This one from Kombuchaorganic is the real deal. When it arrived, it was thick, rubbery, and covered the full diameter of the bag. It didn't look like a raggedy off-cut; it looked healthy and uniform. The starter tea included was strong enough that my first 5-litre batch took off within about 6 days, which is fast for a brew that size in a typical UK kitchen temperature. The instructions are printed and easy to follow, which is better than having to hunt down a PDF on a website while your hands are covered in tea and sugar. I’ve already had two successful harvests, and the "mother" scoby has already produced a very healthy-looking "baby" on top. Pros & Cons Pro: Genuine Size. This is actually sized for a 5-litre vessel. It has the surface area and the "oomph" needed to ferment a large volume without stalling. Pro: Certified Organic. Peace of mind is a big factor for me. Knowing it is UKAS lab-tested and certified organic by OF&G means I am not worrying about weird contaminants in my home brew. Pro: Fast Start. Because the scoby is mature and the starter liquid is potent, the fermentation starts quickly. You aren't left staring at a jar for two weeks wondering if anything is happening. Con: Shape Variance. While mine was round, the seller does mention that they grow naturally and can sometimes be different shapes. If you are a perfectionist who needs it to perfectly match your jar shape, you might need to mention that when ordering. Con: No Jar Included. Just a heads-up for beginners: this is the culture and liquid only. You will still need to source a massive 5-litre glass jar and a breathable cover separately. Final Verdict: This is perfect for the "power user" who drinks a lot of kombucha and wants to stop buying expensive individual bottles from the supermarket. It is a high-quality, professional-grade culture that takes the guesswork out of large-scale brewing. If you are just starting out with a tiny jam jar, this might be overkill, but for a 5-litre setup, it is unbeatable. Review: Great for absolute beginners - I'd never had a go at kombucha before and this kit supplied a terrific, quite large, scoby (I probably could have cut it in two), along with an excellent instruction sheet for getting your first brew started. It worked a treat. I can't believe how easy it is to make kombucha. Obviously a good quality product. After half a dozen brews, the scoby has produced several babies which I'm sharing with the family. I saw another review which said there wasn't much fluid with it. But you only need enough to keep it moist/alive. The idea is you add your own sweet tea to make the brew. Common sense really. Can heartily recommend! ## Features - Printed Instruction included.

I need to know if I can do them in my house before I can buy it.** A: You just need a jar, sieve, funnel, sugar and tea. A jar to grow the kombucha in, cover it with a thin muslin or tea towel as it needs air to brew. Secure it with an elastic band so nothing can get in, like fruit flies. A sieve when you decant it to make sure no little bits come into your finished “bucha”. A funnel to put it into bottles. **Q: I have ordered a 5l scoby but the jar is only 2l. can i divide the scoby in two and use it for 2 jars of 2l each? many thanks** A: Yes there's no reason way you can't. However scoobies grow constantly. Each batch produces new ones so it's not an exact science. The juice is done when the tang you like is reached. **Q: My kombucha us not floating on top but on the bottom and there are white stuff on top is it normal?** A: It’s normal for the Scoby to sometimes be on the bottom. The white stuff on top of it is probably a baby Scoby growing. The babies grow on top of the original (mother) Scoby. **Q: Im brewing 8 litres how many scobys do i need** A: Depends on the number of brewing vessels, one per container. There’s not a lot of starter liquid with it though, so you either a: want to brew a starter (1 litre container first) then add that 1 litre plus scoby to your 8 litre container or B: add a couple of tablespoons of raw organic vinegar to your tea mix ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Professional Grade Scoby for Big Batches *by H***M on 8 January 2026* I have been brewing small jars of kombucha for a while, but I finally decided to scale up to a 5-litre continuous brew.

The scobies might be described as 'aesthetically challenged', but their functionality always outweighs this! ## Frequently Bought Together - Kombuchaorganic Large (5 Litre) Certified Organic Kombucha Scoby - Live Culture Quality Assured by UKAS Lab Outstanding and Unique Quality Cultures - 10g of Kombuchaorganic® Live Certified Organic MILK KEFIR Grains - Grass Fed Cow's MILK Kefir Grains - LAB Tested - Certified Organic Sourdough Starter, Very Old and Mature - 45 year old Lake District Starter, Bread Starter - 80g for all types of flour with printed instruction by Kombuchaorganic® --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/51157096-kombuchaorganic-large-5-litre-certified-organic-kombucha-scoby-live-culture](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/51157096-kombuchaorganic-large-5-litre-certified-organic-kombucha-scoby-live-culture) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
