Hi san,

I didn't start getting " thickish " new scobies until my 4th or 5th brew.

Prior to that they were very, very thin. Keep brewing and I think you will

see thicker babies.

Hi San, your brew sounds great, and it's the liquid part of the culture

that really matters (all full of bits of yeasts and bacteria that make up

the 'culture' together with the scoby on top ....

As someone else said today already, thin cultures are quite normal,

especially when a new brew establishes itself.

It sounds, as though your brew is stronger on the yeast side already,

and it would be wise to discard the yeast sludge on the bottom of your

brewing container every time to prevent a yeast overgrowth.

The scoby cellular hat-mat is fashioned by the bacteria in the brew.

It looks as though they need encouraging and you can do that by keeping the

yeasts under control.

A very useful site to help you possibly:

Hope all continues to go well and the scoby growth will be lusher as

time goes on!

kombuchaly,

Margret:-)
