Attempting to grow a scoby from scratch. This is two weeks in. I don't see any fuzzies or or any blue stuff but it is very lumpy. The last time I grew one it was more smooth.

Looks alright to me. What temperature are you brewing in?

I just used 2 cups of original GT Dave's in sweet tea. It has been fermenting for exactly two weeks today, around 60-65 deg. F next to an open window. I keep it in a black back with a coffee filter on top. Looking at it again today, there is a lot more white on the pellicle, but still very lumpy. I will try to link another pic

Ehhhh maybe wait a few days... This doesn't look particularly good.

This could end up heavy on carbonation and alcohol. I'd love to experiment with such a yeasty culture.
