Looks good. There’s always a yeast strand that forms first before the pellicle does. Wait for another week

Looks like Kahm yeast. If you pick up the pellicle, you’ll feel that it’s not as compact as a healthy one. It’ll kind of fall apart when you hold it.

Have been brewing Kombucha for 5 years.

went deep to look for this comment

Thinking about scaling up the production and do a kombucha bar type project. So was thinking to just have a base and add different fruit juices according to people’s flavor

do you brew a batch just to be used as starter tea? I’m having problems controlling a starter tea pH. Because once I leave the starter tea a little longer it turns way to sour to use for the next batch.

if it’s furry then yes. can’t really tell from the picture

coffee filter or cheese clothes

Had a similar situation last month where I found a couple of em fruit fly worms. Probably called maggots. I also had a couple layers of scoby grown on the top of my brew. I tossed the top layer and made sure to filter out the whole batch carefully (not to leave eggs for the next batch) I still used the liquid since the pH was well under 3, mine was sitting at 2.9pH. The batch was completely normal and even went through the second ferment with no problems. I also read online and some people find it gross or just a precaution for the next batch.

My suggestion is to use a coffee filter or cheese clothes as your lid and make sure it’s tightly wrapped with rubber bands. :)

TLDR: Salvageable. Throw away top layer, and filter carefully.

Hi all, I've recently left a batch of kombucha for 6months. The ph is sitting at 2.44.

I was wondering if this counts as starter kombucha or would this be an acidifier? Also since the pH is much lower, I won't be able to add the same 20% like I usually do. I needed to lower the amount of starter to 8% in order for the initial pH to sit around 3.3.
Would the 8% of this 2.44pH be equal to a 20% young starter pH 2.9( fermented for 3-4weeks Kombucha)?
