If the Kombucha Tea went bad, how could I tell?
One way to tell is to look for any mould growing on the surface. Mould usually grows in circular patches, and could be white, gray, green, black etc., and usually hairy. If you see mould, throw it all out, don’t try to salvage any of it because the mould could have infiltrated the colony and will show up again in your next batch of Kombucha Tea. Throw it out if it smells bad too. The bad smell could indicate a foreign bacteria growing in it.
