Process Journal 16 - Prior Knowledge

Before I started this project I had learned the basics of the brewing of kombucha. After having some Búcha tea from Whole Foods, my older brother Nathan began to brew it himself. He explained to me the basics of fermentation process (the SCOBY is a 'symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast; the fermentation begins in the jar with a handkerchief over the top, etc.) This was the basis of my interest in the project.
