Like a proud papa I am growing my first SCOBY. I am looking for something to replace soda as I drink way to much of the stuff. Hopefully this will help me kick the habit. Had to drive about a half an hour away to find a bottle of kombucha. They didn't have any unflavored so I bought a green herbal flavor. "seemed like the most organic I guess". Hopefully the flavoring doesn't effect the growth. Left it at home while I'm away at school. I'll be able to check it tomorrow hopefully I will see some growth on what will be the 5th day.
