can a hole be "drilled" into this for a spigot (for a continuous kombucha brew)?

No. I've brewed kombucha and would suggest you look for a sun tea jar instead of this item. The spigot is already installed.

I would say no. Though it would be possible to drill a hole with the proper tool, the waviness of the glass at the lower edge of the jar will no give a flat snug fit for a spigot to seal against.

Yes. The spigot rotates separately from the threading, so it can be rotated without loosening or leakage.

Yes. I originally drilled one hole and after a few weeks it seemed to plug up and the container actually filled with water from our drip system. I ended up drilling 3 holes in bottom where there is a indentation and it drains great..

I don't think so but it can get a link under the spigot. I love it until it leaks. :(

I built a brew stand for mine. There is one mounting hole you can put a bolt through I have a four legged stand and a diagonal cross bar to hold the burner.

The top part threads directly on to spigot, so as long as you have about 1 to 1 1/2 inches of clearance around the spigot for the control box, it should not be a problem.

Yes, but a hole would have to be cut for the tap (which is the worst tap I've ever seen). Mine had to be replaced to something that didn't break apart every time you pulled the handle and sprayed beer all over the place.

You should be able to fit a Mr Coffee 10/12 cup type decanter under the spigot. The tray also comes out to give you additional room.

Hi Lisa- I am doing the same project, and plan to use this: http://www.amazon.com/genaric-Italian-Bottling-Spigot/dp/B0064OE2NM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1402488554&sr=8-6&keywords=spigot

This is what I would do. Go to the hardware store, get a brass spigot a couple of plastic or rubber gaskets (washers) and a nut that fits the back of the spigot and install it on the barrel. I hope you received the plug that goes into the extra hole. good luck

Yes, there is a rubber seal around the main screw on part. I know some people put an airlock in the spout hole for fermenting foods. Agree the spout hole isn't ideal.

I have one of these stainless pots. The spigot has a 1/2" diameter pipe thread fitting on the end so that you can add additional piping to the unit. The spigot has a ball valve and the inside dimension of the opening in this ball valve is slightly less than 1/2". This is the smallest opening inside this spigot. If your curd will pass thru this opening without trouble you should be fine. One other thing you may need to know. The spigot is about 1.5" off the bottom of the pot so a lot of material will lay in the bottom of this pot unless you tip it at an angle to drain it. The pot is made of very thin stainless steel, but the bottom is thicker material. I had to order a new top when mine arrived because it wouldn't fit properly. This pot is made in China. That's all the info. I have for you. Good luck.

I think so, but would take a bit of stretching. However, the spigot filler works best.

It depends on the size of the hole in the water cooler. I had a glass water cooler and the hole was too small so I bought a specific bit at Home Depot and enlarged the hole so the spigot would fit. Didn't take long. Works great.

I have not seen one, but a pressure cap might work if the size is close enough. You could also add an O ring of the right thickness. Additionally, the spigot port itself may be an IPT size, or close enough to use a test plug. -all at a good hardware store in the plumbing section. You could also cut some sheet rubber and a disk of plastic from a coffee can lid and put them into the cap (rubber to the water jug side and plastic to reinforce it) and cinch that down hand tight. --should do it. But O rings work well, and are a matter of a correct thickness (it is easy to pick one too fat) -and put that on the jug thread side.

That may be a little too much head room for a 1 gallon batch. I've been a big fan of brewing that small but it's been rough finding stuff to work with that size. The spigot, though is actually bit closer to the ground than I was expecting so you're actually still likely to wind up with trub around the valve. Not too big of a deal, but you'll want to let the first few ounces flush out before bottling.

The spigot is almost 1/2 in diameter. I have never clogged it while brewing beer even with all grain and hops
