Thank you so much for the pointers !
>Cheesecloth, grade 90 as they use for cheese making, folded a few times. Never had flies in anything. It can be washed, sterilized, and reused, which is the big incentive for me. Less waste, more productive life. Possibly can find it cheaper at some fabric stores, where it'll be labeled 100% cotton muslin - just check the grade on it, make sure it's 90.
I think this is the detail I missed, I got a random cheesecloth from wholefoods, and folded it up into three layers, but it clearly wasn't enough.

>you don't need a pellicle (what you're referring to as a scoby) to make starter liquid,
Dang, I wish I had known about this sub and this piece of advice earlier. I bought a $30 starter liquid from a homebrew store, instead I could've just bought a $3 off the shelf booch. Ah well I guess I supported an independent local business.

>start with an unflavored one, either black or green tea doesn't matter & it doesn't matter if you add either to black or green tea.
Yea that's the plan, I'm looking at various online stores to buy cheap bulk full leaf tea.

Also, you don't need a pellicle (what you're referring to as a scoby) to make starter liquid, you could just pick up a bottle of any raw kombucha at the store and use it as your starter liquid. Pellicles aren't necessary to brewing kombucha and can be thrown out between batches if you want. All that matters is the liquid, this is the scoby. Pellicles do contain some scoby on/in them and can be dried for mailing/transportation - this is where the idea that you NEED it comes from, before kombucha became more widely available by retail means. Unless you're looking for very particular strains or types of bacteria and yeast, it's faster and easier to pick up a bottle of your favorite retailed booch and use it as your starter. Just make sure it's labeled as raw kombucha, if it's pasteurized it won't work. Edit to add: start with an unflavored one, either black or green tea doesn't matter & it doesn't matter if you add either to black or green tea. What's important is inoculating your new batch with healthy and desirable bacteria and yeast to prevent the growth of the unwanted ones.
