Hi all! I'm new to this forum. I love kombucha and a few days ago, received my first kombucha brewing kit in the mail and eagerly got to work on making my first brew. :rockin:
It's been 3 full days (I know I have to wait typically between 7-14 days) and I periodically check on it just to see developments and to make sure there's no mold, etc. I tasted a tiny bit and it's simply delightful! Of course it's still very sweet but it's really starting to get that delicious, spritzy fermented flavor. I took a picture of it out of excitement and then I wondered to myself if that was some type of mold? It's not green and it's not fuzzy. It's flat/smooth, like an extension of the SCOBY mushroom itself. Can someone with more experience confirm that this is the SCOBY is healthy and making new cultures (or whatever is going on here?)
Thank you,
daniela
