Guest guest Posted July 7, 2002 Report Share Posted July 7, 2002 yippee for me lol. Hep B is a little more complicated than Hep C, at least for me, cuz there are different things to look at. And being a hepper, I often have trubble keeping em all straight lol. I have hep b, but e antigen and s antigen negative. Which pretty much means I'm not active nor contagious (if I understand it properly). Now I wish I could say that about my Hep C! alley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Square jars should not matter, but I had trouble finding sun tea jars, so I went to a few resale stores and I found quite a few sun tea jars. seagulldc <SeagullDC@...> wrote: Hello all you kombucha experts out there!

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I have a fancy 6 sided scoby which lives in a hexagonal container...... shape doesn't matter. blessings mark Strange question Hello all you kombucha experts out there!

Hi , I should think so, although a round appeals to me as the friendlier shape ;-) I brew with all sorts of shapes: large oval buckets (5 litre capacity) .. fat oval SCOBYs - round shaped pickled onion jars (2/3 litre cap) ... round SCOBYs. Fermentation takes a few days longer than in the larger opening oval buckets. I found an interesting octagonal tallish glass container in a charity shop, probably meant to be a spaghetti container ;-) The octagonal SCOBY from that looks a bit weird, as though the edges have been nibbled off by 'something'. Might go well with Mark's hexagonal scoby ;-) > There's more of an issue with width > than shape, correct? I think so. Brewing different shaped scobys is just a bit of fun, especially when you give them away to friends.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 , I agree with everyone elae, shape is not an issue:) As a matter of fact for the past 5 years, I have been keeping an eye out for a large enough heart shaped container, I think that would be sooo cool !
