# Event Details - **Event Name**: Kombucha 101: Brew and grow your own kombucha! - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 10 Jan, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Sat, 10 Jan, 2026 at 04:00 pm - **Event Description**: Join ChiTownBio president, Andy Scarpelli, as he guides you through brewing your own kombucha, exploring its microbes, and its full utility.About this EventKombucha has become a ubiqitous drink associated with health and wellness, but there's so much to explore with brewing and growing your own! Culturing kombucha is a fun and rewarding project, and in this course, we'll walk you through how you can brew your own kombucha at home so that you can take on this task. Everyone in the course will head home with their own starter culture, and we'll show you how to make your culture in two different ways.But we're a community biology lab, so we're not going to leave it just at growing your own kombucha! We're going to walk you through so much more. We'll have some agar plates so we can explore the microbes that make up our SCOBY. We're going to play around with the SCOBY itself, exploring the materiality of what is made by cellulosic bacteria. What can we make with this gooey blob? What can we make from a potential waste product? Can we turn it into a composite, a leather, or a paper replacement? Let's talk it all out!You don't need to bring anything to the class other than a desire to learn. We'll provide everyone with some some cultures and everyone will be heading home with some basic material to start growing their own kombucha.Courses at ChiTownBio are open to everyone, and we believe that working in a biotechnology future should be accessible to all Chicagoans, regardless of race, gender expression, sexual identity, national origin, or any other protected class.
