I know that it has been an incredibly long time since I posted phase 1 of making Kombucha (growing a scoby) but as I always say better late than never!  Right!?  Okay, well some of you may have found this extremely frustrating especially if you grew your scoby but then didn't know where to go from there.  I do apologize. My scoby actually got moldy and yes that can happen to even an experienced kombucha maker person like me. So make sure you emphasize sanitation before starting your batch!
