Hi,

I started brewing my first batch of Kombucha and on Day 2 I noticed some white specks floating on the top. The next day they had grown bigger.

Is this mold or is it ok?

A new scoby is growing just beneath the surface of the liquid and is still translucent. The white specks appear to float on top.

Day 3:
If you look carefully you can see a smaller circle inside the larger circle - the small circle was there on Day 2 and then it grew to the bigger circle on Day 3.

I’ve look at loads of photos on the internet and I’m still unsure, so any help would be much appreciated. It doesn’t seem to be fuzzy.

Thanks!
