Please advise. This is four days in and I don't think it's mold. Formation is below the surface and it's not fuzzy. Fermenting at 77F and pH was 2.85 yesterday.
This was a gallon batch.
Healthy scoby
2 Tbsp black tea
13 cups filtered water
1 cup white sugar
2 cups white vinegar
I boiled the water and let the tea steep for 1 hr. Added sugar to hot tea. Added vinegar. Let the tea cool to room temperature. Added scoby. Covered with clean paper coffee filter and rubber band.
Tools, containers, etc. were sanitized with boiling water.
It's been fermenting for four days at 77F in a cool room out of direct sunlight.
I think (and have been told) that what I'm seeing is the formation of Scoby. I just wasn't sure because this was my first time brewing Kombucha.
