If it's only on the baby can I still use the mother underneath?

It's hard to tell by the picture, but if it is mold, you really need to start totally over. :hugheart

It's hard to see in those pictures. Is it fuzzy? Mine has little white dots, but they are hard and almost like little compressed air pockets or something. If it isn't fuzzy, I don't think I would worry. If it is, get rid of everything. :(

Re: kombucha 101 thread!

I'm praying it's an air pocket. I get lots of those.

Thank you for your prayers:D
So how do I know if it's done. Today is day 7 the brew process. How should it taste. I tasted it with a straw and it tastes acidic to me and the baby on top is thin. Should I take it out? From what I read it will become more acidic if I let it continue to brew.
:help

Re: kombucha 101 thread!

Well, you don't want it to taste like sweet tea... :giggle But you don't want it tasting like ACV either. :roll Somewhere in the middle is good. Only you will know what consistency you can handle right now. :hug

No, I meant applesauce. So I'm gonna take that as a no.;)
I don't like how it taste. It tastes like slightly ascidic tea. Is that what it's supposed to taste like? I'm going to let it sit and get fizzy and see how I like that. I really just hope DH drinks it.

Learningmama that looks completely normal. The finished taste (unflavored) is kinda like hard cider. The flavored ones are like wine coolers, but tasty.

I think applesauce would result in a weird texture but it should work.

Any fresh or frozen fruit is fine but NO dried fruit. (dried fruits are high in mold)
