Kombucha & Vinegars

If you’re interested in crafting your own kombucha and vinegar at home, creating delicious flavors, and saving money, this workshop is for you! Join Trevor Ring of Community cultures in this virtual workshop where you’ll walk away with the basic concepts and understanding of making vinegar and vinegar-based drinks at home. 

Participants can add on a kombucha kit to their ticket, to be picked up at Chatham’s Eden Hall Campus (6035 Ridge Rd, Gibsonia PA 15044). The kombucha kit will come with a kombucha mother and tea to start your first batch.

This is a virtual workshop, but participants will learn how to make two varieties of pickles as well as recipes, ratios, and the confidence of recreating these delicious ferments.

Shopping lists, equipment lists, a prep list, and zoom information will be provided at least one week before the class.

Refunds will be issued up to 48 hours before the class.

Instructor: Trevor Ring

Trevor Ring is a fermentation educator, business owner and microbe lover.

In 2011 and 2014 Trevor apprenticed under the well-known fermentation revivalist, Sandor Katz (author of Wild Fermentation and The Art of Fermentation). That experience naturally led into teaching fermentation workshops of his own. Seven years and many workshops later, Trevor's journey has evolved to selling his own fermented products under the business Tringo Cultures (now Community Cultures), creating a Fermentation CSA, and working for numerous businesses (from kraut to miso!).

Seeing how fermentation can help form community and connect us to our past, drives him to create more affordable and accessible workshops. His goal is to make this education, and magical form of food transformation, accessible to all.

Currently, Trevor teaches throughout Pittsburgh and has been a recurring instructor at Phipps Conservatory. He holds an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach certification, Permaculture Design certification, and holds an M.A. in Food Studies and M.B.A. from Chatham University.
