Thank u this is my first time making Jun Kombucha which they say takes 3 to 5 days but the pic I posted is after 11 days which made me think something is wrongLooks fine to me, though I'm no expert. Not mould anyway.
I've only made a couple of kombucha but I make a lot of beer. Thing to remember is it's like farming more than science. They are alive and do what they do. Perhaps the conditions weren't ideal, but the best way of seeing what's happening is a wee taste. Nobody has ever died from fermenting as far as I know, unless you count getting too into the home brew...Thank u this is my first time making Jun Kombucha which they say takes 3 to 5 days but the pic I posted is after 11 days which made me think something is wrong
Hmmm....Doesn't look like much SCOBY growth for 11 days. How does it taste? What is the pH and what temperature are you keeping it?
I've attached a couple pictures of my SCOBY growth on my new jun setup. This is day 6, first batch with new SCOBY. I keep my jar wrapped with a seed mat to keep it at around 80*.

Wow thanks for ur pics I know my temps are not even close to 80 it is around 67 to 70 and I do hv seed mats that I can wrap it in before I started I had read that the temps didn’t need to be as high as making regular Kombucha to make jun this is why it’s best to talk to people who are doing it and I really appreciate ur input on helping me outHmmm....Doesn't look like much SCOBY growth for 11 days.
