Hi,
Great forum! I want a 3-4 gallon brew setup. I was just going to get a 3 gallon ceramic crock with a spigot but then I started researching and there are mixed opinions on spigots (some say metal is better others say bamboo and others say plastic is best)... then I read mixed opinions on tops to the crocks.. do I use a cloth or do I use a ceramic crock top etc...
I liked the continuous brewing concept (hence the spigot)... drink a bit then keep adding the right ingredients but then I was chatting some "hardcore" kombucha company and they were telling me that spigot is a pain in the butt! Of course hes trying to sell me his crocks (of which none have spigots); conflict of interest/profit motive etc...
So Im just curious... what are some good crocks I should be looking at? I definitely want a good size crock (3-4 galloner im guessing). There are 3 people... my GF myself and my brother who will be drinking some everyday and then when we have guests over I want to be able to serve them as well so Im guessing 3 gallons is enough?
Overall... looking for some equipment advice.
Thanks
