I ended up just taking out the mass of yeast like you suggested. I looked around to see if I could find any signs of actual mold in the tea and I couldn't. I also took a sip of the tea and it tasted like it's either done or almost done because it's neither too sweet or too vinegary.
Thank you...
I've read that there would be strands of yeast but I didn't know there would be huge clumps of it like the one you see in the second to the last picture.
So do you think the tea is still safe to drink?
I do have another SCOBY growing in another jar and it doesn't have the browns stuff in it...
I know that the white thing is the SCOBY. I already grew a SCOBY to use in this batch of tea (you can see it in the second picture) so I know what they look like.
What I'm wanting to know is what the dark stuff is that was under the SCOBY and is now floating at the top of the tea?
I started growing a SCOBY from a bottle of GT's Kombucha a few weeks ago and I was able to move the SCOBY to a new batch of tea 4 days ago (it sank to the bottom). I checked on the kombucha today and saw that another SCOBY was already forming on the top but it looked like it might have mold on...
