Strands have grown from the disk of culture like tentacles, after 12 hours. I think the culture is still living - not that it's falling apart. Going to keep an eye on it for anything untoward, like vinegar eels. I have been putting off researching what those really are. I should do that.
@stillinhere sounds terrifying!
Is this the Kombucha? Are eels floating at the bottom of a kombucha bottle? 
@generica @Zoonie CN: wiggly things in liquid - this woman took a video of hers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb6jWGdGhS8
@stillinhere @generica wow, that video is astonishing. Where on earth are their eggs in the whole deal?
@Zoonie @generica From what I've read, these things occur naturally in vinegar making. So if the person cheated and added vinegar, and it was the super-hip raw vinegar, it is more likely to have these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbatrix_aceti They are used for fish food, apparently.
I like my microbes microscopic. 👀
@stillinhere @Zoonie
Omg no. Thank you for the info. Now I feel like I need to look for these in the store-bought stuff
