Kombucha assistance needed! [View all]

I recently revived my Kombucha mother from the back of my fridge after many years!

The 1st batch was fine, but the 2nd batch isn't fermenting.

Any tips from DU hive mind?

TIA!

I might add some previous kombucha, if you still have any? vanlassie Aug 2023 #3
