Can I use a new plastic garbage can to store or ferment my Kombucha Tea in?
No. Do not use this type of plastic container for making or storing your Kombucha Tea. These containers are not food-grade plastic and might leach noxious chemicals (like petrochemicals) out of the plastic to contaminate your tea. If you must use plastic, only use a good food-grade polyethylene container that is suitable for storage of wet acidic foods.
