Kombucha Crock 1.3 Gallon Humble House Sauerkrock Tap Stainless Steel Spigot, Cotton Cloth & Rubber Band - White Ceramic Probiotic Dispenser 5 Liter Continuous Brewing Kombucha SCOBY Hotel Jar

I bought the Big Kimbucha Book and they recommended this size for continuous brewing. Even for one person. This is a well made crock with a highly recommended stainless steel spigot. (Also recommended in the book.). This is my first attempt at making my own, but I am confident in this crock from Humble House this it will be fantastic and will last years for good health.

i love this thing. does show hairline cracks but doesnt seem to affect anything. looks great! draw back is the spout just fits in the neck of the bottle so it does create bubbling mess from not being able to let air out of the opening on the bottles.

Easy to setup and get going. Previously I did batches. The only thing I miss is the evanescence I can get in second fermentation. So I’m trying to also serving ferment from the crock. It’s big and well made, would buy again if needed.Only comes with one cover, so try to find another. Cover did keep out fruit flies

This is an update on my previous review, I have changed it to a 1-star instead of a 5-star. Although they did replace my first defective crock, the replacement, also defective, it took about a year for it to crack through again and start leaking my kombucha. I will not order from this company again. I wish I had better to say other than the customer service was great. I am leaving my original review. This is sad that I had to change my original review.Original Review below.This is by far my favorite crock for brewing my Kombucha! I have brewed Kombucha for over 30 years and this crock has made it so easy now. This small business has fantastic customer service, I contacted them for an issue I was having and they responded right away and corrected the issue ASAP. I want to say that if I ever need to purchase a second crock, I will certainly purchase another one from ONLY Humble House! Thank you Humble house you are the best! I wish I could say that you still are the best..

This has been in constant use since I bought it four months ago. It works wonderfully for making kombucha. I just toss it in the dish washer after every batch to sanitize it, and it comes out perfectly clean each time.The spigot is well made and a real game changer when it comes to bottling your product with ease. When the liquid level depletes beneath the spigot, you can simply tilt the entire unit in order to get the last of the batch out.I've never had any leakage issues with this vessel whatsoever. According to some of the other reviews, your milage may vary, but it appears that the manufacturer is proactive in remedying these issues if you happen to get a defective one and contact them.I'm taking off one star because there were some minor flaws on mine. These are purely cosmetic issues that don't affect functionality. You probably wouldn't notice them unless you took a hard look at the vessel. It's minor enough where it doesn't bother me, but at this price point, I believe it's worth noting.I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is interested in efficiently producing large amounts of kombucha for personal use.

Great product no cracks yet hopefully that doesnt change. Stainless spigot does not leak.

Today I received the replacement for my damaged crock. It began to crack after a year of use. I used it for continuous brew kombucha. And it did a wonderful job! It sat quietly doing its thing. Then the cracks. I noticed that several were matching cracks, inside and outside. I wrote to Humble House and explained, including pictures.They were so kind to write back and inquire further. Then they offered to replace it. It took a while. Yet I’m grateful. They knew it was past a warranty period.They’re a family business. I get it. I’m also a business owner, and I try to understand and respond respectfully to my customer’s concerns. Good business is built on good relationships. So, while the crock was cracked, the response was whole hearted. I gave it 5 stars because it worked beautifully, and there’s integrity in the business.

So much to like! It's the perfect size for a week's consumption, and the food-safe metal spigot means you can make "continuous flow" beverage, from week to week. Note that using the spigot means no need for sloppy siphons. The clay makes for a more stable temperature. The lip is designed to attach a cloth cover with no effort. Cleaning will be super easy, when the time comes -- hot water and then some vinegar. The size (5 liters, or a US gallon plus room) means the vessel is easy to carry and store, out of the way. It's also an attractive piece -- my parents used to collect pottery, and they would have loved the look and feel of this. Delivery was swift and secure; it arrived packed in just the right sort of box, without too much unnecessary paper and plastic. The kicker is that when I needed help (on questions about a protective blue film covering the washers and about how to clean), I got complete, cheerful answers within minutes via e-mail. In sum, a 100% flawless transaction. I look forward to buying another one – maybe larger-volume crockpot they now offer. Overall, a great product, almost a work of art, and fantastically good service.
