How To Make Kombucha Tea : How to Strain Kombucha Tea

[kombuchakamp]

@wanderingmind25 Great recommendation to use cheesecloth. I don't use metal to strain my KT anymore - if it were stainless steel, no problem but you are right, it is best to avoid contact with any other type of metal. Brew long & pro$per ;)

ya its sad to see a video on kombucha and how great it is and then they use a metal whisk to strain it. hello lead poison!

[kombuchakamp]

@wanderingmind25 The Kombucha touches the metal for such a small amount of time that it isn't possible to get any kind of poisoning from it (also, whisks aren't made of lead!)

[wanderingmind25]

@kombuchakamp its true it only touches for a short period of time but with more and more use it will become easier to leach. As for having no lead, lead is a component of most metals. You could also call it an impurity. Either way you don’t want it in your body if can be helped. I would recommend a cheese cloth to filter it and i personally use a continual brew method and siphon using a medical grade hose.

yes it's true u shouldn't use metal, perfer plastic strainer, wood stirrers, and glass bottles..

Yes its true. Kombucha is very acid and acid reacts with metals. So unless you want your kombucha with nasty metal residue or contaminated, dont' use any metal when handling it. Same applies to vinegar.
