SCOBY experiment #2

I decided to grow a second SCOBY, since I only have a few blurry Blackberry photos from my first experiment. Since my first batch of Kombucha is pink, I don't want to use that as a starter liquid for future batches, or they will all be red-tinged.

For SCOBY #2, I used the leftover liquid from Lindsay and added an equal amount of sweet tea. I used white tea this time, whereas Lindsay was born from green tea.

This lovely lady is named "Naomi" (if you watch 90210, you'll get the reference) and she is 1 day old.


Naomi seems to be growing faster than Lindsay did. This is what Lindsay looked like on day 2. There is a very thin film stretching across the top, and some scummy-looking stuff around the edges.
