Naturally Wild & Fizzy Sodas

June 18, 2022
2:00pm - 3:00pm

Join Kaitie Adams in the next perennial class series with The Land Connection and learn how to make naturally wild & fizzy sodas! This class will cover the basics of creating home-fermented, naturally fizzy drinks using fruits that can be grown here in Central Illinois. We'll cover fermentation basics and safety, different flavor combinations, and tips for the best tasting brew. We'll be using a ginger bug and champagne yeast to get the fizzy party started, but will also cover other fermentation starters such as whey, kefir, and others.
