However, when I put the scoby into the sweet tea it wasn't completely emerged in the tea (some of the edge was sticking out), is this okay? It only just occurred to me that this might be a problem, any advice? That's completely normal. It doesn't matter where the scoby ends up in the tea. Just leave it undisturbed, and you might get a new scoby forming on the top - it would probably be quite thin. Try your KT after about 7 days and decide whether it needs more brewing, if it is still too sweet for your taste. All the best with blessings!

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Thank you for your advice, Margret! The baby scoby is actually doing quite well it seems, 5mm thick already - I didn't think it'd grow so quickly. > > > Hello everyone > > > > I started my first batch of kombucha on Tuesday and everything seems to be going well so far.
