We’ve talked about fermented foods, but we’d love to dive deep into the biology of kombucha, everyone’s favorite fermented fad. What is the drink? How can you start growing it at home? What is a SCOBY? What makes up the SCOBY? Can we examine the organisms there on a petri dish? What can we make or build with the SCOBY itself? What can we build in terms of art or fashion? Let’s really dive into the biology!
We’ll provide some starters and some equipment for our first few guests who are interested in trying to brew their own kombucha at home. We’ll have some samples, but we encourage people to instead take advantage of the drink specials provided by our hosts, the Empirical Brewery Taproom.
Come, enjoy some great conversation, explore the biology of a strange and wonderful food, and have a great time with us!
