2nd batch

[Guest guest]

Hi

I'm new to the group. I'm in the process of making my 2nd batch of

kombucha. I let the 1st batch go 14 days and it tasted like vinegar.

Today is the 7th day of this batch and it still tastes very sweet. I

got the scoby from a friend last summer and it spent several months in

it's tea in a jar in the fridge before I made my first batch. It is a

very thick and medium brown scoby. There definitely seems to be

activity and the first batch went to vinegar, but it isnt growing a

baby. It hasnt either time. Also I have a very wide mouth jar and it

hasnt grown to fit the opening.

Does this sound like I need a new scoby or is it a normal variation?

The top of the brew does get very foamy, but like I said there's no

second culture.

Any thoughts or advice is much appreciated!
