Hi I'm a brand new kombucha brewer. I am well acquainted fermenter ( sourdough, milk kefir, water kefir, vegetables ect) I stumbled on your channel today because I think I had mold on one of my scobys and you talked me through what to do. Now I'm binge watching your videos lol. Please don't stop making these videos! I love you and I'm learning so much from you! I feel like I know you lol
OK, I found out what happened. I began putting CLOVE oil in my defuser to kill air born fungus like mold. I didnt know it would harm my kombucha, but it did, I will never defuse clove oil again! My scoby hotel smells very healthy today :) The new tea and good starter tea did the trick :)
Thank you. Your video was the most recent bit of information I could find on the subject. I went to the site and did the petition. I will have to wait a few days to do the physical copy but that $9 charge is totally worth it. Thank you and good luck
My sobe hotel got sick. It all smelled like nailpolish remover. I took all sobies out, made a gal of sweet tea, put them all back in the new sweet tea. got a cup of starter liquid from my cb. I pray thell be ok. Could you do a video on awful smells in your brew and how to fix please Liz?
Hi Mary. I am so sorry to hear this. Sounds like you did a great job getting it all fixed. Can you tell me more about the smell? You said nail polish remover? Did the top layer SCOBY look normal? I recently got kahm yeast in one of my brews and too much yeast smell (smells like butt). I don't recall a nail polish remover one though. But that is a great video idea. Kombucha smells what's normal and what's bad
@@KombuchaLiz Taken from page 168 the big book of kombucha..A smell simular to that of nail polish remover is usually created ethyl acetate, an organic compound made up of acetic acidand ethanol. Typicaly this smell is a sign that the yeast are sick or do not have the right nutrition. Here are some of the contributing factors.4 reasons listed. toss thebrewandbstart over with a scoby from your hotel. it was my hotel so I did what I posted. lets pray please.

Hello. So glad this was helpful. I checked the website and still no updates on this. What was the $9 fee for? I don't recall paying a fee.

I lloked up this in the big book of kombuha.
It said the yeast are sick and dying. Toss the brew and start over.
Good to know. Thanks for sharing I'll include in the video.
