Hands-On Kombucha Workshops

Kombucha Basics

Start with the essentials of kombucha brewing. Learn how tea, sugar, starter liquid, and a SCOBY work together during fermentation. We cover clean equipment, safe handling, and what to look for as your brew develops. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of the process and practical steps for your first batch at home.

Guided First Brew

Get hands-on practice starting a batch of kombucha. We’ll walk through preparing sweet tea, cooling it, adding starter liquid and a SCOBY, and choosing a suitable fermentation vessel. You’ll learn how to keep your setup clean and where to place it at home. The session focuses on repeatable habits, not complicated equipment.

Flavoring and Fizz

Learn how to flavor kombucha after its first fermentation. We’ll discuss fruit, herbs, and other common additions, along with bottling practices that support carbonation. You’ll consider how ingredient amounts and fermentation time affect taste and fizz. The goal is to help you make thoughtful adjustments and handle sealed bottles with care.

SCOBY Care

Get familiar with your SCOBY and the starter liquid that helps begin each batch. We’ll cover basic care, how to keep a backup culture, and what to consider when taking a break from brewing. You’ll also learn what normal changes can look like and when to pause and assess a batch rather than guessing.

Troubleshooting Brews

Make sense of common home-brewing challenges with practical guidance. We’ll look at how room temperature, fermentation time, and ingredients can affect flavor and progress. Bring questions about a batch that tastes too sweet, too sharp, or simply different than expected. You’ll learn what to observe and how to adjust your next brew carefully.

Private Group Workshop

Plan a hands-on session for a group that wants to learn kombucha brewing together. Choose a focus such as first-batch basics, flavoring, or troubleshooting, then follow a practical demonstration and discussion. This format suits friends, families, or community groups interested in home fermentation. Contact us to discuss your group’s goals and workshop needs.
