These crocks are slight seconds.

The crocks have slight cosmetic damage that does not affect the integrity of the actual crock. All Seconds crocks come with a one year guarantee from the pottery. We currently only have one of these crocks.  

It  has a slight firing crack in the base the crock that has occurred during the firing process. This damage is cosmetic only and does not affect functionality, and has not come through the base so it is fully sealed and only cosmetic. These are non-returnable

The picture illustrates the type of damage.

Benefits of Continuous Brewing.

• Less overall work to produce more Kombucha
• More consistent supply of kombucha (a few bottles every day or every few days rather than having a large batch all at once). 
• A broader array of bacteria and other beneficial compounds in the final product.

Continuous brewing is a traditional method of making kombucha. Thus, in traditional brewing, the culture is fermenting continuously, without interruption, at all times—a constant mixture of predominately older and some younger liquid.

The benefits of continuous brewing are both practical and nutritional. They include:

Less risk of mold and other contamination in kombucha batches, as once established, the liquid maintains a far more acidic environment, more hostile to outside invaders because of smaller amounts of free sugar and a greater population of good bacteria and yeast.

This is just the Crock.

 Muslin cloth large enough to fit your crock with a rubber band to secure it.
