I am making my second batch brew of KT. It's about 2 weeks in. Baby Scoby is about 1/8 - 1/4inch thick. My mother scoby sank to the bottom immediately and has stayed there. The baby scoby on top appears to have a second filmy scoby(?) hanging from underneath it. Seems weird. Should I be concerned?
I have some nice big bubbles forming under the baby scoby so I think in another week I will test it. I found with my very first batch that I need it more tart before I flavor it because the flavorings seemed to add more sweetness without adding sugar itself.
If this next batch works out, I intend to get a continuous brewer system. Through the Kombucha Camp site, it costs about $200 for a basic brewer set up. I don't need all the added flavorings etc that they send with. I have found other porcelean crocks for about $20-$40. Anyone have any advice? Is there any reason I shouldn't use the cheaper costing crocks?
