I've been doing a continuous brew for quit some time now in a large 1.5 gallon glass jar.
My wife got me another jar to double my production. I took the scoby from the first jar, ripped a few layers off, put it in the new jar with about 4 cups of starter and a gallon of new tea.
Well, it's been 10 days so I went to "harvest".
This entire new batch is slimy. It had a nice mother on top (the old mother was floating in the middle).
It's not liquid like my other batches. It's like a very thin snotty consistency. slimy.
Is that good? It smells ok, I haven't tasted it yet. But I wonder if that old mother sitting in the middle/bottom over cooked this batch? I've never seen booch with this consistency. I can't imagine drinking it would taste very good... lol
