I use this to brew kombucha
I have found the cheapest way to brew, high quality kombucha. Most of these items I got through Amazon. I will give you a list:1) The original scobys - Fermentaholics ORGANIC Kombucha SCOBY With Twelve Ounces of Starter Tea. I got two of these (with repeat brewing and division they've become six over a two month period.2) To maintain a proper brew temperature of 80 degrees - Ohuhu Seedling Heat Mat for Plants. I'm brewing six gallons at a time so I got eight of these. One goes around a gallon jug of water that I use as a control for the other six. I put a cap of bleach in the water to keep it clean and just refill with water as it evaporates. The eighth goes under the middle of the ceramic tile I have placed the bottles on. It warms the bottom of the Grolsch beer bottles I use for the second fermentation. I use large elastic hair ties to hold them against the jars.3) Ohuhu Digital Temperature Controller Seedling Heat Mat Thermostat - the probe goes into the gallon jar with water and that then controls the temperature in the other six brew jars.4) 12" SS Dial Thermometer Homebrewing Brew Kettle Brew Pot - this gives me an analog backup to the digital thermostat. You need to adjust it slightly with an 11mm wrench to that the two correspond exactly.5) HAUSPROFI Stainless Steel Funnel, 13cm 304 Stainless Steel Kitchen Funnel with 200 Mesh Food Filter Strainer - this works perfectly to transfer the brew from the gallon jars to the Grolsch bottles. I also use it (with a strainer on top) to remove the tea leaves from the initial steeped concentrate (I don't use tea bags - I use bulk black tea leaves and matcha)6) ZeroWater 20 Cup Ready-Pour Dispenser Water Filter Pitcher - I use this for my filtered water for the brew.7) 3-Outlet Grounding Adapter, Kasonic [UL Listed] Plug Extender, Heavy-Duty Grounded Power Tap - 3 Pack. I actually used four of these 3-outlet adapters plugged into each other and then the thermostat to control the current to all of the seedling mat heaters.8) Organic Veda Matcha Green Tea Powder - I use this for the green tea part of my brew. I also use black tea leaves in the same brew.9) BAERFO 304 Kitchen Ladle, Soup Ladle,Cooking Ladle for Soup（4ounce/13.5 Inch) - this fits perfectly in the gallon jars I'm using to remove the scoby after the first fermentation and a couple cups of started brew as well as ladling the mix of brew and pomegranate juice into the Grolsch bottles for my second fermentation.10) The cheapest way for me to get gallon glass jars was to buy the gallon pickle jars at WalMart. They cost less than $6 apiece and you get the pickles.I also use half-gallon Ball jars for collecting the filtered water and placing the sugar/tea mixture in to let it cool to room temperature. The first brew takes about ten days or so. I remove the scoby and the two cups of starter kombucha and place that in a glass dish. I then bring the gallon level back up with pomegranate juice. I mix that up and ladle into the Grolsch jars. The second fermentation takes two or three days but you must uncap the bottles every day or you'll have too much pressure build up in the bottles and they'll blow when you uncap them. You then put the bottles in the fridge and cool to enjoy. You make your new batch by pouring the filtered water and sugar/tea mixture into the gallon jar and topping it off with the two cups of liquid you've saved from the previous batch plus the scoby. You then affix a large paper coffee filter on top with a large hair tie or rubber band. After 8 to 10 days you are ready to repeat. I have a journal that I created in Excel to keep track of the brew stages. You can find plenty of YouTube videos offering brewing advice. This setup will generate enough brew to give you about half a gallon of kombucha a day.

Love this Ladle!
For years, I've been using cheap plastic ladles. I finally decided to upgrade to metal. I love everything about this ladle- long handle, sturdy with a large ladle capacity. I replaced all my plastic serving spoons with metal ones too. I love them all!

Fantastic
I waited longer than usual to receive my ladle but it’s wonderful. It’s a big scoop, and heavily weighted. Definitely not a cheap, light one. And I washed it upon receiving it and it’s still gorgeous and totally shiny. Superb!

Happy So Far
This is what I've been looking for. The head is deep and wide enough to scoop out enough liquid. So far it's retained its sheen after 2 weeks of using it at least 4 times.
