Question

[Guest guest]

I got a scoby through the mail from a fellow group member, some of the

tea it was sent in had leaked into the triple bags it was in, but there

seemed to be enough to get started. I got my tea preparation ready, and

the scoby sunk almost to the bottom, but that had happened before so I

wasn't worried about it. There was also a small part attached to the

scoby like part of a 'baby' I also threw it in the brew. Now 15 days

later, there is an almost transparent layer with a bubbly looking piece

in the middle.. I think it is a new scoby, (maybe the piece floated to

the top?!?) and the original one is still hanging around near the

bottom of my glass jar. There are no bugs/mold or anything, but I am

not sure if the origianl one is a goner, it does not have a 'baby'

attached to it, so I am wondering if this floatie thing on the top is a

product of the tea and little piece that came with the original one?

Any thoughts/suggestions? the tea looks and tastes fine, the same as

usual, but I am not sure what to do with the big one, and if using the

little one will brew another batch.. help..and thanks
