Do I need a new scoby?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone, I have not been on the site in a while. I wont even bore

you with the details. But a short version is I gave a scoby to a

friend and she used Earl grey tea. I managed to get my scoby all moldy

one day when I had a momentary lapse of brain function. Well anyway I

got a scoby from my friend and the tea is just not coming out the

same. After two weeks and sometimes 2 1/2 weeks the tea is still sweet

and doesn't have that tingle in the throat kick. Is this scoby damaged

in some way. I am thinking maybe I should just get a new one. My house

is warm. usually around 75 degrees.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

If anyone has a scoby to offer I would be happy to pay the shipping.

I'm thinking I will maybe try making a batch with a new scoby and the

old one and put them side by side and see what happens.

Thanks, nne in New jersey
