- My wholesale bottle distributor: General Bottle Supply (www.bottlesetc...)
Or you can buy bottles from Amazon:
Stout bottles: amzn.to/2YwPEeZ
Basic Grolsch bottles: amzn.to/2MPLX14
Ceramic top Grolsch bottles: amzn.to/2HBDIRM
Large liter-sized Grolsch bottle: amzn.to/2Ur3I7Q
-- I use recycled 16 oz. GT bottles and 12 oz. ring-neck and stout bottles, with 38/400 F217 caps.
For 8, 12 and 16 oz. boston round bottles and recycled Healthade bottles, I use 28/400 F217 caps.
I do not use the polycone seal caps because they don't hold carbonation well.

I love how thorough you are. Every single video is enjoyable AND educational. Thank you so much for producing your content
Woot! Woot! The kombucha queen is back! Thank you for all your great tips. You are my only reference and, three years in, you have never failed me and I have never missed a batch. Take care! 😊
You say that the stout bottles with the 38mm openings don't tend to break under pressure. What about the lids (plastic F217 38-400)? I see them bulge under pressure, which makes a great indicator. Do they ever break if left at room temperature for too long? At some pressure, something has to give. What is the weakest link? Are there pressure relief groves in the lid threads to prevent breaking, but stay closed until some pressure (like one atmosphere)? Are there different qualities or materials (PE, nylon, etc) of the black F217 38-400 plastic?
Hey girl! Glad to see you back! I’d love to see your take on ginger beer! I saw it one time on your instagram story and I’d love to see how you make it.
Hi! Thanks to your videos, I have been brewing my own kombucha for a year and a half. I appreciate that you gave me the confidence to not fear the process. It’s pretty forgiving, and there have been no spoiled batches or explosions! Thanks again!
Nice! Thanks for supporting the channel! Stay explosion-free!
Absolutely love it! I completely appreciate the effort that goes into this. Great channel, keep up the great work. James
Thank you for such a great video. You have inspired me to start making kombucha.
You know you are brewing when you blow up your first bottle. Kaboom. Those don't work!
Which bottle was it???
So can you reuse gts bottles AND caps or just the bottles?
I see you did not get an answer. I’ve yet to begin my first batch of Kombucha and have been saving my GTS bottles for reuse. Did you try and get good results with yours?
@@LittleSeasonTribeI did reuse GTs bottles and caps and had good success. Hope that helps!
You should just sale your own starter kits & bottles. You've built such a great following here and could be very successful selling products. Love your videos BTW! So informational and helps build my confidence to start home brewing myself. Thank you for all the info!
Would love to know how you clean the bottles thoroughly if you do get the pulp buildup. Thanks!
A good set of bottle brushes is what I purchased and use.
I use stainless steel pearls, put them in with a little dish soap and water, close the cap and shake like crazy. Works everytime.
A video suggestion/help: Could you try and make a kombucha out of flavored store bought kombucha from scratch (still organic, not pasturized, it has just the flavor)? My local shops don't have non flavored kombucha. I started making a scoby from scratch using a flavored version. The process is reeeally slow. After 5 days I was able to see some crystals for the first time on top of the mixture. Now after a week I'm certain it's not just dust and a scoby is forming but it's painfully slow. I'm not 100% convinced though that my slow process is due to just the flavored kombucha since I also live in a colder climate.
TLDR: Would be nice to see a video of you growing a scoby from flavored and non flavored (as a control group) kombucha for stubborn people like me who need evidence for everything and don't believe when every youtuber tells them to not use flavored kombucha. Just so that people don't waste a week growing a scoby that might never grow or that will grow in like 3 months to a point where a non flavored scoby gets to in a week.
I'm very confused. So we should buy the bottles but get the lids somewhere else? Those cute 8oz size one's that she said is her favorite don't come with a good lid? You have to buy a different lid for those one's somewhere else? Is that correct?
Hey kambucha friends, I have a question, my last batch was 2 years ago and i still have like 5liters and 4 scobys in a glass. Can I use this for next brewing or its 2 y too old? It was covered with a towel.
Can I use corks for f2? I found a great thick bottle.
I always save the ketchup/salad dressing bottles because they are just SO useful and versatile. It's good to know they are pressure safe. I would not have thought that they would be.
Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you for the details
I’m new here! Thank you so much for all the help. I had a question. I’m trying to decide between the stout bottle and the flip top bottle- I keep hearing that the stout bottle will loose it’s carbonation after 2-3 days and the flip top bottles will keep it for much longer. Would you happen to know if this is true? I can’t drink an entire batch in only 2-3 days but I don’t want it to loose all of the carbonation. Have you had this problem using your stout bottles with the black tops? Are the flip bottles better for holding the carbonation longer?
Not true! Stouts work great if you get the correct caps
Good to see you back!!
How many times can you reuse a cap before you change it ? Or is a cap only good for 1 batch?
We have used caps for years with no problems!
Can you dark bottles
You can use dark bottles. :)
