Storing scoby's. Kombucha

I was doing some reading in 'kombucha kamp'. It says storing scoby in a fridge is a no no and to never use a refrigerator stored scoby to make kombucha. Just used my refrigerated (48hrs) scoby to start a new batch. BTW it was closed tight in a mason jar

Do i dump the whole thing out?

If not, what are the things to look for to make sure the scoby isnt dead?

I also have scoby in like 1/2 a cup of starter liquid. Do i add 1.5 cup of vinegar in this? and store in dark?
