We will begin with a lecture presenting an overview of kombucha preparation including information about water, teas, sugars, herbs, containers, temperatures, gas exchange, open fermentation versus closed fermentation, and bottle conditioning.  This will take place in our fermentation room so that all participants can see our set-up and our equipment.  Operational and processing issues such as cleanliness, temperature control, and air exchange will be addressed.

Then we will begin a hands-on session.  Each person will make a batch of kombucha to take  home with ingredients supplied by Fun Guy Farm.  We will use our artesian spring water plus all organic ingredients – green tea, sugar, and herbs such as Reishi, Astragalus root, Turmeric/fresh, and Ginger/fresh.  During this production session there will be open discussion with Q & A.

We will close with a tasting of our own anti-inflammatory and immune stimulating Kombucha drinks.  If available we will do tasting of Reishi tea.  This will evolve into general merriment.

We will have books for sale as well as our own Kombucha
