RE: Re: in need of ideas for supplies

[Guest guest]

All,

I bought two of these jars a few months ago when I thought I was going to do

a continual milk kefir brew (but wound up realizing that that’s WAY too much

milk kefir). I bought two of them because I justified the cost of shipping

for the price of two rather than one (it was more reasonable).

What I love about these jars – and I have two set up for continual Kombucha

brews (one green tea, one puer-lu tea) is that not only are they continual

brews, but also you can put the lid on it. They come with a soft, pliable

piece of plastic that you put over the rim of the top. This piece has raised

ridges which allows for some ventilation when the cover is on – which

reduces if not eliminates the evaporation (you can see the beads on liquid

forming on top of the cover). You can also fill it to such a level where you

can a GI-NORMOUS scoby!!!

The one thing I would caution is that you use caution when inserting the

spigot. The first one dripped a bit until I screwed it in further (even

though the directions say only 2 or 2 ½ turns) and then it was fine. So test

the spigot first before setting up a full batch…and make sure you let it sit

for 20 minutes or so because mine started to leak after the fact and not

while I was testing it!

P.S. I want to thank Gayle and everybody else for helping me enter into the

amazing and WONDERFUL world of Kombucha Tea – I LOVE IT :-)

I use a lead-free water crock that I found very reasonably online.
