Hello,
I’m brand new to this, just 1 batch in (which turned out great i thought), and i’m curious about use of the new & old SCOBYs. I got a mother from a neighbor and it’s maybe 1/2” thick and quite colored (various colors), i forgot to ask how old it is. My 1st batch made a new SCOBY (in 7 days) maybe 1/8-1/4” thick, and it’s very clean looking and uniform in color (mostly whitish). Do older/thicker/colored SCOBYs make better Komb that if i only use the baby in each subsequent batch? Or do they make noticeably different tasting Komb so it’s just a matter of taste preference?
Thanks for anyone’s help!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
