Hey, I've been wanting to start a small kombucha business, however I'm only experienced in making very small batches of kombucha and I need some advice on what equipment I need in order to make enough to sell at a small farmers' market. Right now for personal consumption, I use one 2 gal glass jar for my "scoby hotel," I use several 32 oz mason jars for the first ferment, and I have 12 smallish swing top bottles for flavoring/2nd ferment.
What size/how many vessels/bottles should I invest in? I'm also not sure what material is the best for both affordability and safety - I've heard glass is very safe, but a 5 gallon glass jar is around $70 and a 5 gallon plastic jar can be found for like $20. The only stainless steel vessels I've found were pretty expensive too: usually over $100. As far as bottles go, I have no clue.
Any advice?
