Brewing Vessel FAQ
-What container should I brew my kombucha in?
Glass is the best! Kombucha is very acidic and can leach the material of the container into your brew (yuck!). This is why plastic and metal are no gos for brewing (and storing) kombucha. If you want to use a food grade ceramic container just make sure the glaze is safe for fermentation.
-How should I clean my brewing vessels or bottling jars?
You can wash your kombucha supplies with hot water or white vinegar. Feel free to use a bit of dish soap, but avoid antibacterial soap. Make sure to rinse your supplies very well so no soap residue remains.
