Bought a $90 kombucha kit that grew mold in 2 days

Followed the instructions exactly, kept it at 75 degrees in my pantry. The scoby looked fine but the whole batch turned fuzzy and green. What's a better starter method that won't waste cash?

Check if you really need a kit at all. My first batch came from a friend's extra scoby and a jar of store-bought plain kombucha, which cost maybe five bucks total. Sometimes the simplest method works just fine without all the fancy gear.

Yeah, I was all about the kits before this.
