Weird looking growth

Postby Pops on Tue Apr 03, 2018 7:03 am

Hi Everyone,

I have my first batch of kombucha going. It's been 10 days and it has a really ugly looking brown gray looking growth. I'm not sure about it. Can someone help this old man out and tell me if it's okay?
:roll:

Looks like a run of the mill SCOBY to me. Which you get with Bucha. I quit make Bucha a while ago. I would smell and taste the Bucha after removing the Scoby.

Thanks for letting me know what it was. I let it go longer and it did grow a nice layer of SCOBY. It's now in my refrigerator. :D
