kombucha brewing

i just finished brewing my first batch of kombucha! i can't believe how easy and fun it was...

i almost feel like i'm doing something illegal...haha, but kombucha is like nature's crack. it's wonderful and effervescent and gives that kick (and that little tingle in your jaw) that red bull gives, but without all the sugar and w/o the comedown.

for those of you unfamiliar with kombucha, it is supposed to look like that. dont be scrrred, it's super healthy and full of probiotics and good bacteria. kinda like yogurt w/ live cultures. that pic was taken on day 3; by day 6 it had formed a full patty on the top but the flash just showed a white blur so i went with the mid-week photo.

Eeewwww ....
What does it taste like (and smell like) ???????? Do you eat the "patty"? What does it feel like? I'd love to know more!

By the photo it seems to me crude liver, but it would be good for proving it
