✅✅Commercial Kombucha Brewing Consultation:
https://store.kombuchakamp.com/Commercial-Kombucha-Brewing-Consultation.html
Hi – I’m Hannah Crum (The Kombucha Mamma) Author, Master Brewer, KKamp Founder, Community Educator, Commercial Consultant, Trade Association President, and Kombucha Ambassador to the world. I started Kombucha Kamp in 2004 as a workshop in my Los Angeles home. When blogging became popular, I took my educational information online to KombuchaKamp.com and in 2010 launched our ecommerce store with my husband, Alex LaGory.
When I was first blogging, I made lists of the Kombucha brands I’d find online. I love meeting other people who had that same thought process and ultimately, that list and my passion to “change the world, one gut at a time” is what led to founding Kombucha Brewers International (KBI) with Alex in 2014. I serve as president and Alex is chairman of the board.
We’ve also helped numerous commercial Kombucha breweries through our consultation and “bacteria farming” services providing solid advice and quality, organic cultures and starter liquid in bulk for Kombucha, JUN, water kefir and milk kefir. We also consult fermentation businesses, write HACCP plans and even help navigate the complexities of distribution, sourcing equipment, and locating co-packers.
In this “Ask Mamma Anything,” I answer questions related to the commercial brewing of Kombucha. With a projected $1.2B in sales for 2020, there is good evidence that the category will remain popular for a long time.
We are best at helping you work through problems and achieve your goals, which means that people who have a very clear idea of what they want from the consultation will gain the most from it. Alternatively, many people have used the consultation as a brainstorming session and, while we are not permitted to discuss specific techniques of any one company, our general knowledge of the Kombucha industry can also help clarify one’s own vision. All consultations are 100% confidential.
