Process Journal 5 - Introduction (The Redux)

Welcome to my 2015 Personal Project!

Goal

For this assignment, I've chosen to brew kombucha. What is kombucha? Kombucha is a fermented tea drink, produced through a complicated brewing process. It is claimed by some to have a variety of health benefits due to the presence of probiotics in the drink. Often times, the tea is also carbonated a flavored.

Throughout the project, I will research several concepts:

• How to complete the brewing process
• Brewing the tea
• Adding the komucha cultures
• Fermenting the tea
• Carbonating and flavoring the tea
• The chemical processes of the brewing itself
• The purported health benefits of the drink

I will document this process through this blog as well as with videos.

These entries, along with others that document my process, will make up my process journals.

The final product will be a summary video along with the actual product of the brewed kombucha.
