Kombucha, simply put, is fermented sweet tea. It is made by adding a kombucha culture to a batch of sweet tea and allowing it to ferment at room temperature. Fermenting the sweet tea transforms it into a massively flavorful, tart, effervescent, and healthy beverage that we know as kombucha. The culture used to ferment kombucha is called a S.C.O.BY. During the fermentation, the SCOBY converts sugar into alcohol, which further breaks down into vitamins & enzymes. The resulting beverage is packed with plenty of probiotics, vitamins, enzymes, plus the added health benefits from the tea. WHAT IS A SCOBY? SCOBY is an acronym that stands for Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast and is the living force behind kombucha. While the SCOBY is most notably known as the cellulose disk that grows on the surface of the brew, the term refers to all of the living microbes throughout the liquid as well. When you purchase a SCOBY, you want to make sure that it comes with plenty of mature liquid kombucha, called starter tea. The starter tea lowers the initial pH of your brew and adds a high concentration of microbes to start the fermentation process. Our cultures come with 12 fl oz of mature starter tea, the perfect ratio to brew a strong 1-gallon batch. Each culture is propagated in our lab-controlled environment. The process is closely monitored and documented along the way as our cultures mature. Our process ensures balance, pH, and strength are at the highest standard possible.

Liquid animal rennet is an essential ingredient in the cheese-making process. This coagulant, made from the stomach lining of young calves, lambs, or goats, helps to turn milk into curd and is the key to creating the smooth, creamy texture of cheese. When used in cheesemaking, liquid animal rennet works by breaking down the protein structure of the milk, allowing it to separate into curd and whey. The curd is then drained and molded, shaping it into the desired form. The type of rennet used will affect the flavor and texture of the cheese, making it important for cheese makers to choose the right rennet for their desired outcome. Consistency: Unlike traditional rennet, which is often sold in tablet form, liquid animal rennet is easy to measure and distribute evenly in the cheese-making process. This makes it easier for cheese makers to achieve consistent results every time they make cheese. Higher Quality: Liquid Animal Rennet is made from the stomach lining of young animals, which is considered to contain higher levels of rennin, the enzyme responsible for coagulating the milk. This results in a more efficient coagulation process and a higher yield of cheese. Fast-acting: Unlike traditional rennet, which can take several hours to coagulate the milk, liquid animal rennet works quickly, allowing cheese makers to save time and make cheese in a more efficient manner.
