Answer here...Mine have done well for a few months in the fridge, and I've got a few saved in the same container.

If you want it to be dormant for a while yes, though I wound put it in some sugar water to feed it

Yes it will be fine especially with the cool weather we have been having. It lasts a long time unopened. If it is opened it needs to be put in the refrigerator .

I'm not really sure as I keep mine in the cupboard. I would guess that it would be ok since it is airtight, but the only way to know for sure would be to try it. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

As a microbiologist, my answer is yes - any foodstuffs should be refrigerated after opening the container

From all the reading I have done, yes you should refrigerate it once it is opened.

I do not believe so. We have never refrigerated ours. We keep it in a cabinet all the time even after opening.

I don't refrigerate mine, but I use one in about a week and a half. I don't think I'd worry, though, since it is made with Splenda, and our house is pretty temperate.

I have had mine for a month and half now. Tastes the same as the day I opened it. So I would assume that as long as you have a good refridgeration system it will last for at least 2 months or so.

Yes, it needs to be refrigerated after opening. It will last for up to two weeks if refrigerated.

Yes. Each time you make a batch, a new one will scoby will form on the top of the surface of the tea....this is what is suppose to happen. After you bottle your tea, you can put one of them (either one) in another jar with some tea for storage, (cover with a cloth).....just keep adding your extra scobys to this"storage jar. You can Google "scoby hotel" to learn more about this. No matter where your original scoby is in the tea you are brewing....sunk to the bottom, floating half way....you will always get a new scoby on the top. You can Google "Kombucha" and learn everything you need to know. A zillion other people have had your SAME question. Yes.

No neeed to refridgerate. Package has been sealed , and as long as the temp doesn't get like 90 degrees, you will be fine.

Im not sure. I keep it refrigerated after I open it and I have it gone within a month. I do know that it needs to be refrigerated after opening.

It will not be as good if it is not chilled. The colder the better. You must take ice cubes or frozen pack with you. It can be set out butshould be chilled 12 hrs in the fridge. Hope this helps.

It's shelf stabile. I keep it in my box of brewing stuff. You could refrigerate if you'd like but there's really no need.

I do not think so. What I do, is to transfer it to a mason jar and it keeps fresh for couple of months.

I do not refridgerate my. I have not had any trouble with it going bad. I used about 2 -1# bags a year. Hope this is helpful .

Yes. The live cultures will die more quickly and the supplement will not be as potent if it is not refrigerated. Some of the distributors will even ship the product with an ice pack to protect it during shipping.
