Discover the science of the sparkle. Join us at Surf City Brewing for a hands-on dive into the world’s most famous fermented tea. We’re demystifying the SCOBY, the living "tea beast," and showing you how to transform simple sweet tea into a fizzy, probiotic-rich tonic. You’ll learn the rhythmic cycle of continuous brewing and how to master the "second ferment" to get those perfect, champagne-like bubbles every time.
The Starter Batch: Select your preferred tea base and build your first jar of kombucha, tailored to your own flavor preferences.
Effervescence & Flavor: Explore a curated selection of seasonal botanicals and fruits to brew your own second fermentation.
Brewery Vibes: Enjoy the atmosphere of the taproom while we talk microbes—your ticket includes a glass of your favorite Surf City brew to enjoy during the workshop.
Kombucha 101: The factual roles of bacteria and yeast in tea fermentation and the health benefits they provide.
Carbonation Science: How to safely build pressure and fizz using seasonal fruits and herbs.
Continuous Brewing: Simple, low-maintenance methods to keep your home brewery flowing indefinitely.
Your Living Jars: Your own starter batch of fermenting tea, complete with a healthy SCOBY to get you started, and a swing bottle with your second ferment, ready to hold every batch to come.
The Blueprint: A clear, foolproof guide for managing your first and second fermentations at home.
The Bubbles: All the knowledge you need to swap store-bought sodas for your own signature house brews.
