Home Brew – Kombucha failed, well kind of


I bottled the Kombucha I made last week today and unfortunately it did not grow a SCOBY. It did ferment the tea and some of the fungus did in fact grow but not into a solid mushroom it is supposed to. I put them in the fridge for drinking tomorrow. Honestly I have no idea is this is going to be even drinkable as it does not smell entirely good.

Either way tonight I am going to try growing another SCOBY in a similar fashion as my first attempt, because there is now more of the fungus it may have a better chance. I also think that I may have bottle too soon. Some of the reading I did after bottling pointed out that it may take up to four weeks for a SCOBY to grow and not a single week like I originally had thought. This time I am going to give it a good month before touching it.
