My first bottling: does the scoby go back into the same gallon jar and covered with linen cloth, or does it need to have a lid on it to store?

Yes, it is made to go back into the 1-gallon jar where you fermented your whole batch, the SCOBY will be kept with 1-2 cups of the now fermented kombucha to store the SCOBY until your next batch.

I have a metal funnel i figured id set upside down on top of the cloth to block almost all dust while it can still breath. Is this ok or shall i take

We recommend just using the cloth cover held in place with a rubber band, the cloth is made to protect the Kombucha from dust, bugs and debris.

What is the name of the strain of bacteria produced by this scoby?

This is from the Craft Brew Store in Orlando.... If you’re concerned about the appearance of your SCOBY - feel free to send us photos and we’ll gladly take a look :) If you’re simply curious about what bacteria is present in a SCOBY - the living probiotic bacteria in a SCOBY include acetic acid bacteria (produces acidic, tart flavor) ad Komagataeibacter bacteria (helps form the biofilm/SCOBY layer). The SCOBY is a Symbiotic Colony Of Bacteria & Yeast. The yeast often include Saccharomyces (the family that brewers yeast is in) and other strains of yeast. Cheers, The Craft a Brew crew | CraftaBrew.com I hope that this helps.
