Re: spigots for glass jars

[Guest guest]

Hi Idy

You might want to give infused-vodka a call at 866-510-2121. One of

their option is a plastic spigot for their jars. You can see it at

http://www.infused-vodka.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS & Category=8.

Their web site does not give diminution on the spigot but it looks

like their jars have small holes. Good luck

THanks Ed and Bill again for speedy info. I already wrote Infusion

Jars, Bill, to see if their spigots fit the 1 cm hole in my jar. We

shall see in a couple business days. Can't wait to try continuous

brewing. My goodness, I am just bursting with enthusiasm and want to

make this kombucha taste great and make it easy for me. Hope this

continuous brewing will help ease the load :-) You see, I make ginger

water kefir and milk kefir as well and yogurt. I am really a mad

scientist in our house :-) So I am trying to make as many shortcuts I

can. You can see why.

Ed, thanks for telling me about the recall. It wasn't recalled in our

local COSTCO since they still have it out on the shelves. Too bad

about those jars 'cuz they looked really cool and so perfect for

those who want to brew continuously in glass. It would have been

perfect. Do you sell plastic spigots that would fit the 1 cm hole

diameter? Need one for my smaller thrift shop find.

Thank you again for helping me out. I might have to just do regular

brewing in my many gallon jars, like most still do.

gratefully,

Idy
