I just started my first batch from a SCOBY a friend lent me and during the time I had it it had already became forming new layers to the point that one sloughed right off as I move the pellicle to the brew. I put it back in its home jar and already a new pellicle is forming over it. I’m reaching out to others who may want it, but I have chickens who would enjoy it if I have no luck.

But like the title says, is there a point to having a stocked hotel? It makes sense to have backups in case one gets infected during brew and if I want more than one brew going at a time, but I see photos of hotels that are just jam packed and it made me curious as to why people stock up so many.
