Today marks the day I attempt to make my first scoby! I'm actually making two in separate jars. I tried kombucha for the first time yesterday (although I had been reading this thread for almost a week now)! I can definitely see what all the fuss is about, I love the flavor!! I bought (what I believe is) all the stuff I need to do CB, as that sounds like the most simple way to do it. I haven't even begun to consider flavoring a yet, but I think I have a little while before scobies are ready for that!
I am very happy to see that there are still a few people around on this thread!
