Thrive Brew Kombucha Podcast

What is new with the Thrive Kombucha Podcast? Jul 14, 2023

We'll be back in just a few short months with all that we have game planning and implementing for you, the listeners and customers. Thank you!

What vessels and tanks does it take to brew a clean crushable kombucha? Mar 23, 2023

We talk a little about our journey through the vessels that we use from 5-gallon jars to 200-gallon tanks.

It's not as simple to just buy the equipment but to know what we want for the end product, how the tanks work, and know how kombucha works, then use our wits to tie them all together.

For us to do what matters to us, requires a lot of ingenuity. We hope this episode inspires you to appreciate the craft.
