Kombucha & Pop Drinks

Kombucha is the gentlest fermentation most people ever attempt. Sweet tea, a culture, a warm corner of the kitchen and a week of patience. There is no boil, no hydrometer and very little that can go badly wrong, which makes it a good first ferment for anyone curious about the rest of it.

What we hold falls into three parts. If you want to brew properly from scratch, the Mad Millie kombucha making kit at 1 litre gives you the culture and the vessel together, and the 5 litre glass fermenter with a tap is the next step up when one litre a week stops being enough. If you would rather read first, and with kombucha that is time well spent, we carry The Big Book of Kombucha, DIY Kombucha by Katherine Green, and Kombucha, Kefir and Beyond by Alex Lewin, which widens out into other cultured drinks. And if you just want the drink without the week, the Mavella instant kombucha powders come in gut, energy and beauty blends.

The tip nobody tells you. Once your brew tastes right, that is the first ferment done. The fizz comes from the second one, sealed in a bottle with a little fruit or juice for a few days. Room temperature, checked daily. Ask us how it is going at Laverton North or Epping. See also cider, ginger beer and kombucha, fermenters and books.
