Ain't that the truth? So much folklore and superstition about how the fermentation process works. I remember being told you can't make Jun with a Kombucha starter because it's a different bacteria, and even if you did get Kombucha to ferment the honey, it wouldn't actually be Jun. And the complete obsession and misinformation around the pellicle!

The pellicle stuff drives me nuts but I feel pedantic correcting people. I need to find an easier way to observe bacteria, because right now I'm relying on sugar content to determine "doneness", which is pretty second order to all the things that can happen around sugar in a kombucha brew.
