I’m thinking of brewing Kombucha, but the only jug I have is plastic; is it okay to use that or does it have to be glass? I do have a glass bowl, but I want to use it for other things like making yogurt.

Go to the local health food store where the hippies get food at, and buy a large gallon-size glass jug of apple juice. Make hard cider out of the apple juice, drink that, and then use the jug.
Good to know. I'd seen friends growing kombucha and they used a closed bottle--no wonder it looked so weird.This will not work. Kombucha needs a big wide area, like a bucket or crock. If it has a smal spigot, it will not have enough oxygen and will grow bad bacteria and mold.
thars what I was eluding to stay away from the plasticizers, they tend to migrate out depending on the age of the plastic containerIn my work I have had to test various polymers for properties. PE, even HDPE (high density polyethylene) is porous and oxygen permeable. For liquids, polycarbonates are probably the best. Anything flexible probably has trace plasticizers that are extractable by liquids. (the worst of those are phthalates as these have hormonal effects) Best stick with glass for liquids containing organics and has a low pH.
Yes, age of plastic is very important.thars what I was eluding to stay away from the plasticizers, they tend to migrate out depending on the age of the plastic container

high alkaline of vinegar
Vinegar as sold in stores is 5% acetic acid, not alkali (which is a base.)

THis is a common mistake among people not formally trained in chemistry, organic acids containa hydroxl group which makes them acidic sort of counter to mineral acids.
The science doesn’t support your findings, please state where you got your information that vinegar is not alkaline? Where is your proof?
Your being silly I hope, your making a joke? Certainly you can’t be serious?
