Ready to brew your own delicious kombucha at home? Join us for this FREE workshop in partnership with Cultivate Community Food Co-Op and renowned Kombucha maker Ian Griffin, where Ian will guide you through everything you need to know to become a confident kombucha maker!
You'll learn the complete brewing process from start to finish, beginning with F1 (First Fermentation) where you'll learn how to brew and sweeten the tea, then Ian will demonstrate F2 (Second Fermentation) which covers bottling and flavoring techniques. Learn the advantages and limitations of both Batch and Continuous Brew methods so you can choose what works best for you. The session will also include tips for setting up a "SCOBY Hotel"* to keep your brewing going strong.
Attendees who are ready to dive in can leave with a SCOBY and starter liquid to begin their kombucha journey at home.
*A SCOBY Hotel is a glass jar where kombucha brewers store SCOBYs (Symbiotic Cultures of Bacteria and Yeast) and starter liquid as a backup source for new brews.
