will my baby float down?

[Guest guest]

i haven't tasted my kt (i started it 2/15) mainly b/c i wanted to

focus on the new baby and getting it acclimated to my house and its

COLD conditions! i am assuming it is very acidic since its been so

long.

i still just have a film on the surface of the kt - but it is very

easy to see (there are lots of opaque circles within the film on the

surface but not one big baby...make sense? anyway - i want to start

again with a new batch making some changes. (like filling the jar

with more tea, moving to a warmer place in my kitchen)

when i break the surface - will the surface film float down to meet

the mother? the mother is currently hanging around the bottom of the

jar. i really have no idea what this baby will be like - whether it

will indeed be a disc that can be removed or whether it is just a

film that will disappear. if in fact it is sorta solid and able to

be removed whole...should i try and start a new batch with that one?

oh - one more thing - if i have a large mother and want to put it

into a smaller jar.....do i cut it or fold it or jam it in there????

thanks!!!
