Forgotten Kombucha

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I'm a newbie to the list and Kombucha. I got my first 'mushroom' a

few weeks ago. Made my first brew. It was pretty sour, smells like

apple cider vinegar. Anyway, that's not my Q. I made another

batch. When it seemed done I took off the scoby and some of the tea

and put it in a jar in the frig for later. Then I strained the tea,

covered it with saran wrap and set it under the cabinet until I could

find a jar to store it on. I brewed it in a crock. I usually cover

it with cheese cloth but I was only going to cover it for a few hours

while I dug out some jars. Well, I got busy and just forgot all

about it. It was probably 5 days until I noticed the crock and took

a peak. Low and behold there was a new scoby growing on top. Just a

very thin membrane but I didn't know what to do so I just let it

sit. Now it has probably been 10 days or so. It is quite large and

about 1/4 " thick. The crock has a wide mouth so this thing is about

the size of a corn tortilla! What should I do with it. Is it still

good? How about the tea? It is all just sitting in the crock on the

counter waiting for me to figure out what to do!

Any ideas?

Thanks!
