Ed,

The question is not the yeast but acidity content of the brew.

Personally, I believe that #1, #2 and #5 are safe for food use

and brewing. I brew in glass, but also in #2 plastic buckets and

I've never had any problems with the latter.

I also use both glass and plastic bottles which I recycle from

previous use (wine and beer bottles and plastic fizzy drinks bottles,

which are constructed to withstand the CO2 pressure of carbonation.

I have myself used have brewing equipment for brewing Kombucha and never

had any problems. By all means try it (as long as it is the safe plastic

numbers (there should be a triangle (probably on the bottom) with a

number in it which would give you the clue.

After having said all that, I still consider glass the best option, though.

See how you go. The decision lies entirely with you.

Best wishes,

Margret:-)
