In this workshop, we will establish an understanding of the various stages of fermentation when making Kombucha, what a SCOBY really needs, and show you how we get creative with herbs in our brews.
In the second part of this workshop, we will demonstrate all the steps in making mead and sampling various batches. Then we will cover how to make fruit vinegar which you can easily make at home and use in pickling, cooking and dressing.
