I started brewing booch about 3 months ago and quickly switched to a continuous brew setup using an old 2.5 gallon ceramic crock. When I started this setup I switched the old plastic spigot out with a new all stainless one for better flow (and I don't like plastic in general).
I just cleaned out the crock for the first time (it made many batches of great kombucha!) and noticed some discoloration in the ceramic which has me highly concerned that something has been leeching into my brew (which the wife & kids have been enjoying as well). It is not a film (I tried scrubbing) and I cannot feel anything when running my fingers over it... Is this common with these types of containers?
