Guest guest Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Hi EveryOne, I love the Continuous Fermentation method! Need to find a 3-5 gallon glass container with a plastic or wooden spigot to do it again....... I wrote about Continuous Fermentation in one of the Kombucha Manna Newsletters: http://users.bestweb.net/~om/kmi/news13.html Some of the KMI Newsletters on other topics are also there. http://users.bestweb.net/~om/kmi/news.html Peace, Love and Harmony, Bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Hi Can Kombucha be brewed in containers made of clay? Where I am from, Haiti, theymake large containers made of clay to conserve/store water. They are called there a " Canari " .. They vary in size from 6 liters to 20... It would be easy to mount a spigot in such a vessel... Has anyone brewed KT in a clay vessel? Pros? Cons? Frantz --------------------------------- Never miss a thing. Make your homepage.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Hi Franz and EveryOne, I used a clay vessel that a friend of mine who is a potter made for me to use with the Continuous Fermentation method, wooden spigot and all. It is beautiful but it didn't work out for Kombucha. Some time, possibly around a year after I started using it, little droplets of Kombucha tea began to appear on the outside of the crock. At first I thought I might have spilled some kombucha but it turned out that the drops were seeping through tiny holes in the clay, which was also glazed on both the inside and outside....nothing was stopping the KT and since it could also be leaching from the outside glaze into the inner part of the crock I set the beautiful crock aside and went back to using glass for fermenting KT. After that experience, I will only use glass for fermenting KT. KT is so powerful a substance that it will leach from whatever it is in. Maybe not at first but eventually..
