Intro and a couple questions

[Guest guest]

Hey there,

I'm new to the group and just wanted to say hello and I had a couple questions

for the experienced brewers.

I'm on my third batch of kombucha and it seems to be going well. I've read a

lot on various websites about brewing and have found a lot of contradictory

information. Is it necessary to sanitize all the kitchen items and bottles

needed to brew KT? I've heard that it was but I've also heard that regular

kitchen cleanliness is only necessary.

I'm also wondering when there is a danger of glass bottles exploding. I have

only kept my KT bottled for a few weeks at most in my kitchen cabinet before I

transfer it to the fridge. Is this safe? Should I move it to the basement?

What do you all do?

Thanks for any feedback you have!

Be well,

Sharon
