kombucha problem...please help

[Guest guest]

I am new to kombucha, and am on my second " brewing " the first batch came out

vinegary, and flat, after second fermentation, its still vinegary, and still

very flat. now Im brewing my second batch, my scoby is growing a very large air

bubble in the center-like between the old scoby, and the new one, and there is

green clumps of yuck floating in my tea....nasty looking to the point that i

really dont want to drink the tea, even if i strained them out, they look

terrible. and there is mold growing around the bubble...it doest seem to be out

of the tea at all, its beneath it, the mold isnt exposed to the air.

do I throw this out, try to find a new scoby?

Im leaving tommorrow for 3 days, and was getting everything squared away so when

I came back, my kefir is in the fridge, resting, the new batch of scoby would

just about be ready for me when I return, and I was hoping this batch would be

good......what do I do?
