First time: success... I think.

[Guest guest]

I just made my first batch of kombucha, using green tea with brown sugar and a

bottle of GT original raw kombucha. It rested undisturbed for 22 days (my

kitchen is kind of cool) and now has a nice mother on top. Well, I touched it

and now it's about halfway down.

It smells powerful, pretty fermenty, vinegary but tastes like a tart kombucha.

Is there anything that can go bad on it? I'd like to bottle this, let it sit for

a day so maybe it will get a little fizzy, then refrigerate and drink. But I

don't want to make myself sick if it could go bad... doesn't smell bad unless

you don't like the smell of old beer -- that's what kombucha always smells like

to me.

What could I add for a flavor now? Next time, I won't let it sit so long (and I

have this scoby plus two a friend gave me) so it will be sweeter. But might as

well experiment with this batch. I like it a little sweeter, I think. I'm crazy

for Dave's different flavors.

Thank you!

I'm going to post a picture of my new kombucha under Sally's KT in the files.
