After several attempts to create an outdoor structure to grow scoby I decided against having it outside as the temperature was changing drastically and there are several night animals roaming like raccoons. So I purchased a pet pool I found on amazon : link here
65 inches. My main goal is to grow very large sheets of bacterial cellulose.

The pellicle started to grow successfully! This is the first time I've experience growing such a large bacterial cellulose. I am delighted with the progress and I hope to keep it healthy. On this instance I added some coffee (cuban espresso) as I noticed the caffeine helps to accelerate the growth. Will update in the next few weeks.

I'm planning on becoming a BioDeveloper. Instead of using a Scoby Hotel (aka Giant mason jar) I'm planning on building a structure to grow a large sheet. I think of this as a Scoby Resort (a flat surface to grow a sheet to be at least 8x 10)
Due to unrelated events I ended up in Junction Boulevard and discover and incredible fabric store (D-rex). They had an 8 ft wide sheet of plastic which I'm planning to use as the base of my Scoby resort. On the top I'll use some nylon to make sure no bugs sneak in.
Always fun to visit fabric stores.
