Workshop Description:

Curious about kombucha? Great for beginner and experienced fermenters, this class will guide you through the process of brewing your own delicious and bubbly fermented kombucha at home. Gain hands-on experience in preparing your kombucha, from brewing the base tea to fermenting your beverage in bottle.

In the first part of this workshop, we will:

• Learn about the history and health benefits of kombucha, including its probiotic properties.

• Explore the key ingredients needed for brewing kombucha: tea, sugar, and the all-important SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast).

• Explore the different results of using a kombucha scoby and recipe as compared with a Jun tea SCOBY and recipes.

• Discuss proper fermentation practices, bottling techniques, and troubleshooting common brewing issues.

• Brew our batches of kombucha tea to bring home to ferment.

Then, we will bottle some of my homemade kombucha, and explore different flavoring techniques to customize your kombucha with fruits, herbs, and spices.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a jar of freshly brewed kombucha tea with a SCOBY, and a bottle of finished and flavored kombucha to enjoy later.

About the Instructor

Andrea Hurley

Andrea Hurley

Ceramic Artist and Culinary Experimenter living in Nevada City

Originally from New England, she studied art at University of Southern Maine. After moving to the SF Bay Area to pursue her creative practice, she managed a large community studio in Berkeley where she taught classes in clay and firing techniques in gas and soda kilns. Now living in the woods outside of Nevada City, Andrea produces functional and sculptural objects from porcelain and native clays in her home studio, firing in her experimentally designed, handmade wood kiln. Also at home, there is never not something fermenting. After discovering the wide range of possibilities in fermentation, Andrea makes everything from sauerkraut, kimchi, and miso, to kombucha, shrubs, and wild-crafted sodas. For the past few years, Andrea has also farmed grapes and produced wines and ciders from local Sierra foothill vineyards and orchards. She fostered this knowledge of natural winemaking by working with winemakers in Sonoma county, the Rhone valley, and the Republic of Georgia. As a teacher and DIY polymath, Andrea strives to empower and inspire others to explore the joys of experimentation in creative pursuits.
