I made gatorade kombucha more than once. This pic is from when I brewed it in my mother's favorite flower vase which gave this pellicle its ink spot shape.

the disc is called the pellicle. SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast) refers to the fermentation culture present in all parts of the kombucha. the pellicle forms on its own in a normal brew and isn't strictly needed to start a new fermentation. the liquid on its own works fine as a means of starting a new batch
pellicles are most fun when you use them for creative purposes. here's my pellicle I made from gatorade kombucha. nice thing to leave in your neighbor's mailbox

ITT we discuss about recipes and techniques on fermenting and pickling
This is a slow thread, if you see it on page 10 kindly BURP it so it keeps fermenting properly.
