Abstract

See full text

An apparatus used to ferment a liquid during kombucha manufacture includes a bonnet. The bonnet is configured to cover an opening of a container. The container defines a volume to hold the liquid. The container has a lip that defines the opening. The bonnet further includes a filter. The filter is permeable to a gas and has a pore size. The bonnet includes an elastic member. The elastic member is coupled to the filter. The elastic member is elastically engageable with the lip such that when the bonnet is attached to the container the bonnet covers the opening and the elastic member is removably sealable to the lip. When the bonnet is engaged with the lip, a gas can pass through the filter and particles larger than the pore size are kept out of the liquid by the filter during fermentation of the liquid, thereby preventing contamination of the liquid.
