RE: How to Make Continuous Brew Kombucha
Hey I was recommended to read you page after asking around in NM server!
I am trying to brew my first Kombucha. I am glad that you mention about this,
The acidic environment of a kombucha brew can leach toxic metals, so I knew I wanted to invest in a brewing vessel with an all stainless steel spigot and silicon gasket.
In my " How to" it mentioned that I should never use anything but stainless steel. Now I know why :-D
finger crossed for my first trial!
Yes, I was even hesitant with the silicon, although I know it is food grade. It is a compromise I had to accept in order to have a spigot. Glad I could help. Best of luck with your first brew! Let me know how it turns out.
Okay, so it's been three days and I don't see any scoby forming ! should I be worried?
Typically you start with a scoby already intact. It is very difficult to grow one from scratch.
I heard so, but since I don't have anyone to help me with a scoby, I need to grow one first :-D * fingers crossed*
Did you put some commercial kombucha in the batch? I've heard it is possible to get one started that way. Best of luck!

I did not and well, I asked over NM discord group, it's failed :( so, I'll have to try again!
If you put some commercial kombucha in, you may have better luck. I would start by adding a small amount of sugar and tea to a commercial kombucha and trying to coax a scoby that way. Or, you can also order a scoby online.
