I recently received a scoby from a friend and began trying to brew kombucha. I used filtered water, 1 cup of sugar, and 6 green tea bags, and a cup of vinegar for starter liquid. The total batch was about 4 quarts. After a few days, I noticed a new scoby growing on the top however when I tried the kombucha it was still extremely sweet.
I have since brewed two other batches and still after almost 40 days the brews are much too sweet to drink. On both batches there is a healthy looking, almost inch thick scoby.
What am I missing??
