I started a flame new setup to grow a new SCOBY, but it looks not like the other time I did it this way. What do you think, will this recover or shall I drain it? These „tentacles“ seem odd

I just found the pictured SVE tea jar/dispenser at the thrift store. Is there anything about these that makes them bad for booch?

Starting F2

I have two scoby colonies with these dark brown spots. Could they be fungi? I removed one of the pellicles and placed it on a plate so it’s easier to see, it’s shown in the last photo.

Believe fermentation has started can see any signs confirmable signs of pelicle yet

The starter was sitting in the fridge for 6 months. Does the test batch look good?
