Re: Glass Jars

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Where can I find those glass jars with the rubber seal and the wire closing

lip on the lid for an economical price? You know, to put bath salts or bath

scrubs in? By the way where can I find bath scrub recipes?

Why don't you just measure the water and see if the jar holds one gallon? I

use one gallon glass apothecary-type jars that I found at Target.

Five pounds of liquid a little over a half gallon. A pint of liquid weighs

one pound, so your jar is five pints.

For glass jars for free many people go to a local deli or restaurant and

ask. Some people us Freecycle.

Walmart and Target both carry gallon size glass cookie jars.

If you were close to me I could certainly let you have some that I no longer

use since I started doing a continuous brew.

Good luck!

By the way, you can brew a half gallon....just won't have as much, but

something is better than nothing until you can get your gallon jar.

Dependent upon your location you may be able to scrounge a steady supply of 1/2

gallons in the shape of pickled egg and pickled onion jars from a chip-shop. I'm

up to 8 now.

If you like variety you can stick a different flavour in each one, started at 2

Hi and EveryOne,

Continuous brew is a bit easier to maintain once you get used to the

Kombucha brewing process.

You will find an article I wrote about Continuous Fermentation here:

http://users.bestweb.net/~om/kmi/news13.html

I used to use the Anchor Hocking 2 gallon glass " cookie jar " glass

jars to brew and they work very well, the 2 gallon size leaves room

for air at the top and you can make a full gallon or more in each jar.

Now I use a 2.5 gallon glass jar with a plastic spigot that I got

online at infused-vodka.com which works very well for Continuous

Fermentation.

Peace, Love and Harmony,

Bev

Try your local freecycle group. I got one brand new sun tea jar and

a beautiful ceramic crock (can anyone tell how I can make sure the

crock does not have lead? I thought I read somewhere that a lead

crock will make a " pinging " noise (like lead crystal) and ceramics

without lead will make a thudding noise when you " thunk " them. Does

anyone know if that's true? I haven't used the crock yet because it

has a metal spout and I need to find a plastic replacement. All the

spouts I've seen online are $10.00 plus shipping, and I hate to have

to spend that much. Any of you KT brewers happen to have a dusty

spare you don't mind parting with?

Getting back to my original point, try freecycle or your local

Craig's List under " free " . I have had great results with them both

giving and getting useful items.

Good luck.

Kathy,

Go to your local hardware store and ask for a lead test kit.

They are inexpensive and easy to use.

Hello ,

I sometimes drink larger amounts as you do. If you feel well on it,

drink as much as you feel your body wants to.

Some people can only tolerate very small amounts of KT, while others drink

it by the bottle ;-)

I go through phases. SOmetimes I drink amounts like you, sometimes I only

may drink a 4 oz glass a day. It can vary a lot.

Sometimes I drink more Kefir, and sometimes the pendulum is swinging

stronger towards the Kombucha.

So, , keep on enjoying your wonderful drink and don't worry.

Just listen to your body!

All things good,

kombuchaly,

Margret:-)

I am also wondering this! I love the taste too, so I drink a couple or

more bottles a day. It isn't bad, is it? (oh! please say no!) hehe

Thanks

[Guest guest]

I don't think it is bad, but i do remember when I started drinking it a

couple of years ago I think I overdid it by drinking it as a cooling

beverage. I think I drank like 4 water glasses of half KT and half grape

juice. All of a sudden I started itching and realized I had hives all over

the body. I took an antihistamine and was fine but since then no longer

drink more than 2 glasses a day.

I think you can drink as much as you want - of course as much as your body

can tolerate: however, I also know that for me it can make me feel

dehydrated and you should most definitely also include water (or something

else) to counterbalance this. KT has a detoxifying effect which I believe is

partially responsible to the dehydration factor - so if you feel thirsty,

then ensure that you're also drinking something else too.

My two cents :-)

...well i am no expert, dont really know. My friend an i were just talking about

this.I am sure if there were any clear colored leaded glass mixed in, it is

minimal. Even these newer Anchor Hockings ( some )is recycled glass.
