Kombucha brewing day here on the homestead.<\/p>\n

The top jar is two brand new baby scoby’s for a local friend.<\/p>\n

I started with one large scoby from Delia at Delia’s Pantry. Now I’m up to eight definite scoby’s. Enough to brew for my family and more!<\/p>\n

I bought a big jar of pickles from Costco this week, because I prefer the bigger jars over the 2 quart size.

The large jar shown in the photo is actually my cookie jar!<\/p>\n

Although I love glass, to keep things simple for my family, that includes four teens, I use plastic 2 litre drink bottles for my second ferment and for storage in the fridge.<\/p>\n

I’m the only one that handles the first ferment, so glass is fine. A couple of our children are quite ‘klutzy’ though, so for their benefit and ease of mind, I use plastic after I’m done with the first ferment.<\/p>\n
