I recently brewed my first batch of kombucha, and it turned out great, but I was disappointed with the yield. I took the new scoby, transfered it and some kombucha to a new jar, and filled it with more tea. My original jar looks very healthy and happy, but my new jar looks strange. Is this normal, or should I throw it out and start again?
This is the original, healthy batch for comparison.
I'll try that. I'll peel off the brown layer and give it more time.
