I recently brewed my first batch of kombucha, and it turned out great, but I was disappointed with the yield. I took the new scoby, transfered it and some kombucha to a new jar, and filled it with more tea. My original jar looks very healthy and happy, but my new jar looks strange. Is this normal, or should I throw it out and start again?

This is the original, healthy batch for comparison.

It's been fermenting for 1 week. My first batch developed a healthy stoby by this time and was ready to drink after 11 days. It should have plenty of sugar to eat.

I'll give it more time and see if it improves
