Does it smell much while fermenting? I'd like to try this but if it stinks up the joint, maybe not.

Awesome, think I'll give this a shot then. Worst case scenario I have a dirty jar to wash, otherwise delicious fizzy drinks.

My scoby finally arrived! It was warm inside of the Amazon box the pouch came in, so I'm at least pretty sure it's not DOA. Tomorrow after work I can get this party started.

How bad is it if my scoby sank? I'm realizing that my comfortable living temperature is at least ~5-10 degrees lower than what's recommended and that may be a problem. I have the jar on top of my fridge and I've been using the apartment heater in spite of my preference, but it's probably still colder than it should be. No visible mold yet and I haven't finished the first fermentation but I'm starting to think that for this to work I need to build some kind of custom (possibly heated) box for it to live in.

Well that's good. I was worried it had died or something, guess we'll see how it plays out in the next week or so.
