It's time to bottle up my little brew. He has been patiently waiting for 9 days now, and after a taste test, I am happy enough with the flavor to bottle. Of course I'm not really bottling, I have found some jars that should be sufficient, and I get to recycle them :) So these will go into the fridge for a few more days where they will continue to ferment and the flavor will continue to develop. So by Friday I should have some very tasty tea.
And here is my new mother with the original Scoby as well. Yeah I know, this looks like a pile of goo, but it really isn't as bad as it seems. The brown spots are just dead yeast cells that collect on the bottom of the culture as it goes through it's cycle. I have saved a cup or two of the tea in order to start my next batch. The tea is cooling as I type and should be ready for another round in another hour or two.
