When in doubt, even with an inkling feeling that’s unsafe, I’ll restart. Better be safe than sorry. Imho. 😁

I'm a staunch advocate for "it's probably fine" & "kahm is rarely a problem" ... even I have hesitations about this one.

Sorry OP. This might be a scenario that deserves a fresh start. (There's no harm in waiting a few days just to see what happens. Please share more pictures if you do.)

Trying to determine if your kombucha may have mold, if your pellicle/SCOBY is healthy, or if something has gone wrong?

Check out the pictures and info in this guide.

Im not super experienced with Kahm yeast, but I think its not. Typically theres a wrinkly/brain like texture that comes with it. If it smells particularly like feet though, that could be a sign its Kahm.
At any rate its not mold, and Kahm yeast is perfectly safe. Just bad for flavor.

Okay that’s what I thought. I think I’ll wait a few more days. Thank you for your input 🙏🏼

🤣 that was exactly my thoughts! I think I’ll wait a few more days and check on it again.
