I bought a kit to make kombucha a while ago, and I finally got around to starting it this week. Then I do some reading. Wikipedia refers to the SCOBY as being a mother of vinegar and talking about acetobactor and what not. Now I'm worried that I brought the dreaded enemy vinegar maker into my house. All my wine and cider will turn to vinegar! Oh, wait, nobody seems to be alarmed. I can't even seem to google the topic. I wonder if that is because most kombucha makers don't make wine/beer, so I was hoping this group on a brew site could tell me if I'm wrong and overly paranoid, or if it is the dreaded evil but everything will be okay as long as I use separate equipment?
