what PH level should finished Kombucha be at

[Guest guest]

I'm new at this. First brew in the making.

What PH level should my kombucha be when finished?

I tested the brew today and it's '6' yellow marker on strip. It's had 13 days

of fermenting.

However, I'm not able to keep a very warm house. Day time 68-70. Night temps

drop down to 64, so I realize growth will be slow.

Initially, over first week, spreading out around 'mother', the tea took on this

filmy appearance.

Gradually the film, slime has thickened and seems to have become an extension of

the 'mother', although it still does not look like one large piece.

Top of tea/scoby is uneven. Looks brown in some areas, and raised in other

areas - air bubbles maybe?

Scoby hasn't reached sides of container yet, but almost! I can't tell if a

'baby' is growing yet either. The mother has stayed a-float this whole time.

One area has a strip of white substance on top of film. Doesn't look fuzzy, but

it's hard to tell.

This white area is on top of new scoby growth. About an 1 inch in width and runs

5+ inches long; almost full width of glass canister.

Anyhow, at this time I've decided I should double check with you all. Perhaps

several of you here can give me guidance and/or clarification of what's going on

with my brew.

Thanks folks!
