Got a deal to sell Kombucha at a local store (now what?)
So I got a deal to sell at a local store. He has agreed to stock for a few weeks and see how it sells.
Only problem is I only have three hotels in three jars.
How many Pellicles do I need to stock let’s say , 100 x 350 ml bottles?
What else should I consider? And what else should I be doing? To supply a community is going to be a slightly different workflow / kettle of kombucha.
I need to speed the process up so that this deal is not forgotten by this shop owner. Labels are done. Glass bottles are sourced. And the bottles will work on a return for discount system.

0, you don't need pellicle to brew kombucha only starter liquid. Pellicle is a byproduct from the brewing and fermentation process
Pellicle is SCOBY, right?
Kind of, the symbiotic colony of the yeast (SCOBY) is active in the starter liquid more so than the pellicle. You will grow a brand new pellicle every time you feed the starter liquid adequately. The pellicles main purpose is to create a barrier between the liquid and the air to prevent contamination.
Pellicles are natural, right, that’s amazing. So the pellicle grows to protect it’s colony.
