If you haven't yet... you really need to go through the 6 stages of grief to ensure your future batches won't carry on this negative energy.
1. Throw it Out
It's probably becoming a health hazard up on your fridge. Even though you have a paper towel over it, you're probably still breathing in the teensy little black mold spores propagating in that thing. Get it outta there.
2. Throw it in the ACTUAL trash
It's easy enough to put the jars out on your porch or a side street that nobody ever really sees you on, and your friends don't even smoke out there that much. Just put it in the trash can or better yet, a dumpster that is sure to be tended to.
3. Create a Better Bucketlist
Obviously, your kombucha isn't what's going to propel you to the "next level". Get in tune! Check in with yourself and realize what is actually possible for you. And then write it down in a journal that you won't lose like all of that sweet bacteria on its way to the dump.
4. Find a Friend to Tell About It
Nobody likes hearing about kombucha failures more than new friends you haven't set clear boundaries with yet. Reach out! Text one of the people you'd like to know better with your phone, and ask them if they'd like to go out for a dinner, on you! They'll be glad to get out of their zone and check out the foundation of your relationship. Once you're sitting down, segway into it after the waiter brings your beverages with something smooth like, "This tap water tastes like total shit. I wish it was kombucha." That'll be a good way for you guys to get started on your journey together.
5. Test the Seams of Your Budding Friendship by getting pretty upset that they didn't get a joke you made about "the dude". Within the minutes following, let them know that everything is ok by responding with "it's fine" while you look downtrodden toward the linoleum and shuffle around a bit. Confuse them, and see what happens. Could be fun!
6. Rescue Several Pets
Everyone knows that animals are great at figuring out if a storm is coming, and there's a real hurricane in your future if you don't get over this whole thing and get back on the horse... and give your good hand another college try at it.
Good luck with the animals!
