comment How do I know if my Kombucha Scoby is growing something funky?
From what I hear in brewing, the main thing with infections is that they taste bad or smell bad, not that they are dangerous. So I generally hear that if it tastes bad, don't drink it, otherwise it's fine. Not sure how true this is, but for what it's worth that's what I've always done.

comment Can Olive Oil REPLACE oxygenating wort
The test you link to is interesting as a starting point, but hardly conclusive. It was a very small sample size (n=12) and not super well controlled or blinded (only one batch used, colored cups were used without randomizing contents, etc.). I'd love to see an experiment like this carried out on a larger scale though!

comment Should I upgrade my thermometer or just re-calibrate it?
REALLY slowly. I tried doing this once on a thermometer that had separated and exploded the thermometer. moral of the story, store your thermometer vertical and upright.
