Hi everyone,
I have been reading all of your posts these last three days, and I am learning a lot. So glad to have found y'all!
Quick question: I am on the 6th day of my very first batch. The various sources I have read said that you can slip a straw under the edge of the SCOBY baby and taste for readiness. I had lots of bubbles gathering, so thought I should taste test.
First, it is still very sweet, so I should let it sit at least 3+ more days before tasting again, yes?
But, now the edge of the baby (which is about 1/8" thick) is bent where the straw went between it and the jar, and no longer seals the brew below. (The mother has always sat crumpled at the bottom, but is growing nice threads, which I think are yeast that seems to be right?)
Is this gap in seal of the baby scoby going to be an issue?
Thanks for any guidance!
