Re: Re: Covering your fermenting Kombucha

I use calico cloths from bags of oats/flour etc i.e. 5kg bag (1kg is fine)

unthreaded will do more than cover the top, wash it first thou'! (although it

will shrink a bit)...

Also plain white cotton men's hankies make wonderful covers for your KT.

Happy brewing, Myrna

Yes, indeed! I cottoned onto that one a long time ago;-)

even cut up old bed sheets (boiled-washed) to cut to the right shape

and use as covers.

Thought I mention here one of the best tips for the 'bands' to keep

the cloth firmly on the brewing vessel : cutting across the end of old

rubber gloves - the wider the strips the firmer the rubber-band.

I have found nothing better for the job!
