Guest guest Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Hi EveryOne, Kombucha, being acidic, may leach from the container it is brewed or stored in. If that container is made of lead, lead will get into your Kombucha and it has happened with old pottery crocks. If it is less than food grade plastic, then estrogen hormone mimics and other negative aspects of plastics will get into your Kombucha, after all plastics are made from petrochemicals The Kombucha may not care but it will not be good for your health! If you brew and bottle in glass, nothing leaches into your Kombucha. (No one would use leaded glass because it is very expensive like fine crystal. ) Therefore since you and your family ultimately will be drinking your Kombucha. - pay attention to what you brew and bottle in. IMHO you Kombucha will be healthier too:-)) Of course that also goes for the ingredients you use to make it as well. There is a saying thousands of years old, " Farmer be careful what you feed your cow! " After all, who will be drinking the milk or in this case, the Kombucha tea? Happy New Year to One and All!
