Spigot or no spigot you can ferment either way as they are both just containers. I changed over to a continuous system to more easily alter the flavor and achieve good bacteria with each bottling. And you are spot on with less contamination, I like how I don't have to handle the scoby as much...

I figured I would give an update. I bought the container and have been using the CB system for a few weeks now. I have created a small heated environment for the winter time and it's doing well so far. Before I wasn't seeing much growth with the scoby (probably made dormant by the improper...
