This two-part, six hour workshop is an in-depth introduction into lactic acid fermentation and a fermented non-alcoholic beverage, kombucha. In this fermentation series, participants will start out learning the basics of making your own kombucha, sauerkraut, and kimchi. In part two, we'll revisit our projects from part one, and experiment with adding flavor to our kombucha through secondary fermentation.
At the end of the courses, each participant will leave with their own kombucha, sauerkraut, and kimchi, as well as the confidence and skills to start experimenting on your own.
Each ticket covers the cost of both parts of the workshop.
