hey guys. I'm just about finished with my first batch of kombucha. : ) so my question is, it seems I have a nice healthy film on the top of my brew. I'm doing a continuous brew and want to know if it's ok to siphon some kombucha off of the bottom and add more to the top at this time? I don't want to disturb the forming baby.

this does all look normal right?

Yes, but if the film sinks don't worry about it, you'll grow a new one.

what happens to the one that sinks?

Eventually it will decay. Just remove it the next time you harvest if it sinks. Don't worry about it, the pellicle is not necessary for fermentation.

managed to take some and add some without really disturbing much. : )
