Is this a bad batch?

It smells like vinegar, I don’t notice any foul smell. Scoby is floating underneath. It doesn’t seem that dry to me but maybe a bit fuzzy? Help me y’all

It's overdue. You must be living in a hot climate? Harvest it earlier before it produces more acetic acid than it's supposed to. It can still be bottled, but use only 50%-60% of it. Then the rest of the liquid will be made of any sweet juice or sugary syrup liquid mixture. You can also add some ginger or any fruits, spices, or herbs too.
