I thought you might enjoy some pics:<br><br><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26832265/Photo%2013-08-13%2018%2022%2053.jpg">https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26832265/Photo%2013-08-13%2018%2022%2053.jpg</a><br>
</div>^ A side view. The disturbing white stripes on the bottom are merely a reflection :) What is looking good, though, are the brown dangly bits. I understand these are mainly yeast and responsible for an apple cider taste in the finished product.<br>
<br><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26832265/Photo%2013-08-13%2018%2022%2037.jpg">https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26832265/Photo%2013-08-13%2018%2022%2037.jpg</a><br></div>^ top view. You can clearly see the original SCOBY with a slight haze all over, this haze should be the forming of a new layer. The longer it sits now, the thicker and stronger this new layer will become.<br>
<br></div>It's been sitting on a liter of sweet tea now for a week, well no longer sweet, cause there is some definite activity. The smell is absolutely wonderful, the closest comparison is probably fresh plums. My plan now is to let it sit for at least another week in this batch, then transfer the stronger SCOBY (and a bit of starter) to a 3 liter vessel with a fresh brew.<br>
<br></div><div>My (very) future plans are to keep a small (3-5 liter) brew of standard black tea Kombucha going. Next to that I want to experiment with a Mate Kombucha. I've also got plans for when I have too much SCOBY, but I'll share those when the time is ripe :)<br>
</div><div><br></div>Thanks again for the SCOBY, Frantisek, and I'll let you know how it turns out.<br></div><div>I don't know if there are others on this list with Kombucha. But if so, I'd love to see/read how yours is going. Let us know!<br>
