Grow own Scoby with store bought FLAVORED buch

[lump42]

Mine worked as well. Second batch is taking off like a rocket and within 24h was showing signs of a new SCOBY. I've been using 1/2 gallon (2 quart) mason jars. I use the mason jars for really small hops tests (1/4 oz of hops and boiling wort racked on top and left to cool).

THanks for the input guys. I figured what do I have to lose and bought a $3 bottle of ginger flavor kombucha from that compnay to give it a try. I have a different question. - I used foodgrade tupperware made of plastic. I know there is concern for leaching chemicasl from plastic BUt can I use a FOODGRADE tupperware safely?

Why in the world would you intentionally bleach plasticizers from the acids into your final product? How difficult is it to go buy a 1.3 gallon glass jar, or thoroughly wash a 1 gallon glass jug, or buy a half gallon mason jar?

That is very definitely not the place to save a dollar producing kombucha at home
