Re: Heads up, all you newbies= On the other side of the coin

Just for the record, I much prefer the CB method, it is much faster, simpler

with much less fuss and bother, does not require bottling, second ferments or

anything else. Except for the first time around I do not have to wait a week

to 10 days. My brews are finished in 24 hrs or less depending on how much was

left in the tank.

This new brew is finally finished and is fizzy and a little frothy right from

the start. I normally had to wait til the 3rd or 4th brew for this to appear

so I am a very happy camper. Thanks again for your prompt response and

support.

My first CB was in nothing but a standard sun tea jar, back in the days when

they were still made of glass and had a reasonable spigot on them. The glass

ones we find around here now have a terrible unusable spigot. The plastic

ones have a good spigot. Am thinking of buying one of each and reversing the

spigots.

At that time the 1 gallon jug wasn't quite enuf so soon went looking for larger

containers. Over the years I have tried at least one each of every type

container I could find, glass, ceramic and even a 5 gallon plastic bucket( food

grade plastic). They all worked, but being curious I prefer the glass since

you can see exactly what is happening at a glance and do not have to disturb the

scoby to do so.
