I don't get much chance to smoke much but I recently had a La Opulencia from My Father, and had high hopes based on all the reviews. It had lots of peppery notes and that is about it, pretty 1-dimentional. Sorry no pic, my hands aren't as pretty as the folxs in this thread. I got it from a...

I would scrape the mold of the top and keep it going. How did you make the 'bucha, and what temp. is it?

The only time I have gotten mold was in my SCOBY Hotel was in the sunlight. I rinse all bottles and utensils in hot water, to remove crud if any, but that is it. I use filtered water for Kombucha to limit the amount of chlorine, but I have never rinsed my SCOBY. I found the Big Book of...
