I made some great kombucha in bottles so far and now I'm looking for a solution to skip bottling and sell kombucha at a bar or festival.

I'm considering either a fermentation bucket with a spigot or a "kubi", that is a cardboard cube with an aluminum/plastic pouch inside and a spigot.
Or, if I want carbonation, a beer keg.

Does any of these solutions sound doable with kombucha?

Thanks

Aluminium pouch doesn’t sound good with an acidic liquid like Kombucha. It will leach aluminium into the drink. You would be much better off with stainless steel.

... or perhaps the aluminium pouch is plastic lined to prevent this? Personally I would prefer stainless steel though (...or glass or plastic).
