What is the slimy stuff on top of my Kombucha?

[Guest guest]

My husband poured a small glass of Kombucha that we put in a container

last Tuesday and it had slimy stuff in it- is that a SCOBY forming?-

he took it out of his glass and drank the Kombucha- I hope that was

okay??

OT- anybody have any experience with Beet Kvass- if so how long does

it stay good in the fridge?

Perfectly alright, Kari!

We call those slimy-blobby things ooglies ;-0

They can be either just transparent jelly blobs or

have 'tea' colouring with it, sometimes with green/brown

slimy strands - as you suggested rightly, Kombucha beginnings. :-)

As Kombucha is an alive, oho Tonic the THINGS will grow quite quickly.

So, it's a good idea to have a tea strainer handy if you are squeamish.

You might even call them delicacies, and in that case : bon appetite!
