Join us for ONE or all of Emma;s Fermentation Presentations! Zoom in and create in your own kitchen, or join her live in Portland!

You could buy a $4 bottle of kombucha, or you could make your own for pennies. It's simply sweetened black or green tea with a culture added. We'll make a primary ferment in class. A secondary one will be demonstrated so you can make it at home once your primary has developed. We'll discuss kombucha's fascinating history, troubleshooting, glassware, and SCOBYs. This hybrid class will include the microbiology and the ferment creation. Let us know if you'll attend live or via Zoom! Registration closes at noon on 9/25. Zoom link, materials list, in-person address provided by instructor. SCOBY available @ Adult Ed office Monday-Thursday, 10 AM-4 PM after 9/25; call 934-7922 to set a pickup time!
