We’ve been making kombucha in a continuous brewing system for a while now, but it’s in a ceramic pot, so you can’t see it unless you look in the top.  Lately, it seems like I will add some fresh tea to the batch and it will be too strong to drink within days.  It’s fermenting way too fast.  So, I finally took the scoby out to see what was going on and this is what I found:

That is the biggest, thickest hunk of scoby I’ve ever seen!!  I tried to separate a slice of it to put it back in the tea, but I couldn’t.  It had grown into one huge mass.  So, I took off a small chunk, put it back in the tea, and I’m going to put the rest in the blender and use it on the garden in my compost tea (I hope that doesn’t ruin my garden 🙂
