Haha, its not me you have to convince, its the husband! He is sure it will explode. I told him they have improved the design and all that, but hes kinda stubborn... LOL

I like big batches too! I use a 2gal glass jar to make my kombucha in and love it! Ive always thought a crock would be fantastic, but they are pretty pricey.

Have a great night!
