Wow! It worked! I was a little concerned when I saw the Kombucha after<br />
about 2 weeks because there was an irregular film on top. The photo<br />

The photo above is how my Kombucha looked after two weeks of fermentation. <br/>

The photo above is from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kombucha_mold_2.jpg">Wikipedia</a>, and shows how moldy Kombucha looks. <br/><br/> I got the 4 wine bottles WJ gave me and the three commercial Kombucha bottles I'd emptied and David showed me how to make a good funnel out of a paper plate. We poured the Kombucha into the bottles and had still enough left to fill a half gallon milk jug up. <br/>
<br/>
I added a little sugar to each bottle. Then, I corked them and put them in the closet. <br/>
<br/>
I got some Turkish black tea called Kaycur and got the next batch of Kombucha going. I put the original SCOBY and the new baby SCOBY in the new batch. So, now I have one batch to enjoy and one batch fermenting, just like <a href="http://www.zoobird.com/profile/SarojEarl">Saroj</a> describes she's done for a long time. <br/>
<br/>
This first batch tastes great. It would be interesting to take some, say, apricot juice and combine it with the green tea Kombucha. Apricot has a nice flavor that might go well with the green tea. <br/>
<br/>
Another good combination might be black tea and peach juice. I found a website, GetKombucha dot com (<a href="http://getkombucha.com/">http://getkombucha.com)</a> It gave me some ideas, like adding raisins, ginger root and lemon juice. All in all, this is so satisfying, since it worked the first try.
