My first ever batch was a success. I used a kit I bought from amazon along with a new gallon jug.
From that batch, I got a new, but not fully formed SCOBY.
For the second batch, I brewed rooibos tea and put in the new SCOBY after it cooled. Two days later I see mold spots growing on the top...
Hi, I'm brewing my first batch of kombutcha. On the second day of putting in the SCOBY, one of the tenants in my home, not knowing what the jar contained, put the lid over the jar without screwing it on. There may have been some air flow, but it would be very little.
She said she put it on in...
