Hi Saroj! Thanks, I see your reply just below this. Well, it has been about 2 weeks. I tried tasting the kombucha and it tastes fine. I guess it's OK. I'll strain it, drink some and put some in wine bottles my friend WJ gave me. I'll let it ferment a bit apart from the SCOBY and see what happens. The kombucha tastes pretty close to store bought stuff, only a bit weaker. I thought letting it go longer than 8-10 days would strengthen it, but instead, the moldy looking stuff on top showed up.

I don't think you got my reply. Here's what I think I remember saying:<br />

I don't know. It doesn't look like my scobys which are consistently white with small bits of darker scummy slime ... underneath but not on top like your photo. How long did you ferment? I think you started the process Jan 22 so probably it's been two weeks? Maybe you should ask others who have experimented more. Ask the person who gave you the scoby you worked with what his/hers looks like when the process is finished. I'd…

Ask the person who gave you the scoby you worked with what his/hers looks like when the process is finished. I'd probably strain & taste test. If it smells good, it'll probably taste good too. I'm interested so let me know what you learn from others or what you discover yourself.

I thought I sent a reply, Mike, but I don't see that it showed up. Let me know if you didn't get a reply to your post and I'll try to reconstruct and repost. Saroj

Saroj, Here's the first batch. I am not sure whether this is mold or not. It smells fine, but the look is suspect. What do you think? Thanks! Mike
