Hi everybody !
I started a week ago my first kombucha ever. 7 days later, I looked at it. It looks normal, but there is a dark blue part.
I don't know if it's mold because :
1 - It's not fuzzy of fury
2 - It is not over the scoby, but like... in it.
3 - The kombucha smells normal
4 - The baby and the mother scoby looks healthy and normal.
The dark blue part is inside the baby scoby, that looks like a plastic film.
My tea recipe is : gunpowder + sencha + hybiscus + orange flowers
It is growing in a glass jar that I sterelized first in boiling water (for 10 minutes) like I usually do with my masson jar for ketchup and jams.
The jar is in an open closet.
Thank you for your advice !
