Thanks! I'm going to get it started today!

I just checked her and she's already growing her own baby. SCOBY babies having babies. This makes me a grandma which means I get a mid morning nap.

BAHAHAHAHA That was SO funny!!!!

I saw a licence plate in the city today - "Let Me Tell You About My Grandchildren".

Are you going to carry their photos in your wallet? :roll

HELP! I'm so upset. I put up my last batch to double brew with fruit juice like usual.

IT MOLDED. Every last jar is covered with a layer of white mold :sick

What happened?? The only thing I did differently is use some plastic reusable lids from walmart. They don't come in contact with the kt anyways...maybe it didn't seal tight enough? There's no fizz...so maybe those lids aren't a good enough seal to keep it from molding.

:help

:mutter

:doh

are you sure its mold? my double ferments always grow a foggy looking baby over the surface.

Re: kombucha 101 thread!
 
this looks distinctly moldy. All my double ferments up till now would get a bit of foggy baby over it, but this is bright white and spotty. I'm going out tonight, but I'll take a pic tomorrow.

I use the plastic lids and haven't had any trouble. :scratch I wonder what the issue was. Would the PH have anything to do with it, like if you didn't leave it long enough before bottling or something?

at that temperature it might take 2-3 weeks. Taste it after one week and then every week after that.

You get 1,000 bonus points for using the word entropy. I love that word. :kiss

:( I would throw everything out (SCOBYS) that was used to make that batch, wash everything in super hot water, and start over. I'm so sorry. :cry It is not worth your health, though. Ingesting mold is bad bad bad bad.

:hissyfit


You're right of course. I just started a new batch, but I'll throw everything out today and start over. It's worth the extra work to not have mold. I wonder what happened? :think

Oh well. Could be worse. I could have drunk that crap. :shiver. By the time I got around to throwing out the molded brew, it had brown and white FUZZ on the top. :sick
