Guest guest Posted September 2, 2002 Report Share Posted September 2, 2002 hi all, i went away for the weekend and upon my return found that my kombucha has a grayish-white slimy film on the top of it. i'm taking a wild guess that this is not normal...so what went wrong with my first batch of kombucha? i can think of a few possibilities: 1) the apple juice bottle i made it in already had some mold in it and this contaminated the kombucha (the lids to these bottles often get moldy) 2) the narrow opening on the bottle didn't allow enough contact with air? 3) some mold circulating in my house contaminated it 4) it doesn't like 'organic' sugar? (the coarse brown stuff) maybe it was due to any combination of these factors..? has this happened to anyone else? if so, did you determine what caused the film on top? btw, it's been fermenting for 6 days now.
