Come for the Kombucha, Stay for the Fermentation

A hands-on afternoon of brewing, tasting, experimenting, and learning the craft behind one of our favorite living drinks.

From your first fermentation to flavoring, carbonation, and caring for your SCOBY, we'll guide you through the process using the same principles we use to create Sunflour's house-brewed kombucha.

No fermentation experience required. Just bring your curiosity.

SCOBY Care & The SCOBY Hotel

How to properly handle, feed, store, and monitor your SCOBY so your culture can keep brewing batch after batch.

The Second Fermentation

How fruits, herbs, spices, and botanicals transform your kombucha — developing flavor while building natural carbonation.

From Tea to Fizz

A little science. A little patience. A lot of good things happening in between.

We'll take you through the entire kombucha journey:

Taste the Difference

Before you start brewing, you'll taste your way through kombucha at different stages of fermentation.

Learn to identify what your brew is telling you — and eventually, how to make it taste the way you want.

A Living Craft

Kombucha isn't something you simply make. It's something you care for.

A culture grows. A brew changes. Flavors develop with time. Every batch becomes a little different — and that's part of the beauty.

At Sunflour, fermentation is part of our everyday kitchen craft. Through Kombucha 101, we're opening up that process and sharing what we've learned so you can bring a little bit of it home.

Start your culture. Brew your first batch. Keep it growing.
