Kombucha and Kefir: Fermenting Drinks at Home

James Bayliss-Smith from Nania’s Wildbrew will run a kombucha-making workshop covering everything from properly brewing tea to successfully fermenting at home. James will share the secrets behind Nania’s barrel fermentation process and send every participant home with a kombucha mother culture to get started straight away.

Dr Caroline Gilmartin from Every Good Thing will cover all things kefir, demonstrating how straightforward it is to make this wonderfully healthy ferment at home.
