| Kombucha Mother SCOBY Rising and baby SCOBY forming on top |

| Baby SCOBY forming with bubbles from fermentation |
My reserve Kombucha has been brewing for 3 weeks and is forming a new SCOBY. My 2.5 Gallon Batch of Kombucha has been fermenting for 1 week. Thus far, a baby SCOBY is forming on top, slightly different than my original SCOBY because it is fermenting so carbonation is occuring, leaving tons of big and small bubbles resting under the growing baby SCOBY. My mother SCOBY has begun to rise from the bottom of the container to the top. this indicates that the Green tea is fermenting properly. It should only be a week more before my batch is ready to bottle and I'll have 2 SCOBYs to brew more batches, (plus a third that is growing from my reserve Kombucha). I cannot wait to begin to bottle and flavor the Kombucha, I was thinking of squeezing my own fruit juice to flavor and adding Chollera and blue green algae for added benefits. Luckily, Whole Foods is having another sale on KeVita probiotic drink 2/$4 or a case (12 for $21) so I am able to not spend too much money to keep my once a day probiotic drink regime in order. Here are some pictures!
