2 Questions about my Kombucha tea and scoby!

[Guest guest]

I started about five days ago a new batch, 1 ½ qts. with a large scoby. and

I noticed I have two baby scobies from the mother scoby, now is that

unusual? I tasted it and it is still quite sweet. I don’t like it very

sour but I think it is too sweet. Is there something wrong or do I need to

just let it work longer?

Thanks, Diane

Hey Diane!

I posted a similar question yesterday...I'm currently brewing my first

two batches, and I'm day 18 or so, and my brew is still fairly sweet.

Your first batch may take a while longer to ferment than subsequent

batches. Definitely let it go longer.

What do you mean by having two new scoby's? New scoby's always form

on top, so in theory, you should only end up with one, unless one

sinks half way through the process or something weird like that.

Hope that helps!
