Can I use a plastic container to brew kombucha and plastic bottles to store it?
A. Theoretically food-grade plastic shouldn’t cause any damage to the culture but we always recommend glass when working with starter cultures or food due to the potential of plastic to leach undesirable chemicals. Additionally, plastic is more easily damaged (often without your knowledge) and can result in hidden bacteria which can grow and not only disrupt the culturing process but also potentially cause food bourne illness.
