Guest guest Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Hi All Had some friends over for dinner last night and were discussing Kombucha. I showed them some of the Scobie I had started. When I brought out one of the ceramic bowl to show off the fantastic Scobie that was growing Stella made comment on the bowl. She noted that from the pattern that probably from the mid to late 30s. In passing she stated that at that time it was common to use lead in the glazing compound. Is there an easy way to determine if the glazing contains lead? I know from reading and discussions that KT will leach lead. What is the effect of lead on the Scobie? Will the leached lead become part of the culture and imparted to future KT batches? This is the healthiest looking Scobie I've produced, white and thick. I would really like to use it but would error on the side of safety.
