Hi Sudoroomies!<br><br>We&#39;ve been planning some cool bio meetups for Counter Culture Labs, and lots of people were excited about doing one on brewing <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-a-Big-Batch-of-Kombucha/">kombucha</a>. I figured it would be great to do this at sudoroom, and make a joint sudo/CCL party/workshop out of it!<br>

<br>Do any of you have a nice healthy kombucha &quot;mother&quot; at the moment? We want to do some microbiology experiments on the culture in the future, so it should be a natural one that has been propagated for a long time, not something started from a store-bought bottle (those typically use a single strain, rather than the complex mixture of bacteria and yeasts you find in a real kombucha mother).<br>

<br>We have a slot in our meetup calendar penciled in for a kombucha meeting for the week after next (next week is <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Counter-Culture-Labs/events/129899352/" target="_blank">bioinformatics</a>!) I figure that may leave us just enough time to brew a big batch in advance of the meetup, so we&#39;d have enough kombucha for tasting, and enough mother to hand out to anyone who wants to participate and brew their own batch! <br>

<br>So... let me know if (a) you have a kombucha mother we can use, (b) would be interested in brewing up a big batch in advance of the meetup, and/or (c) would be interested in helping to lead the meetup the week after next (exact date to be decided)! I can definitely help out with (b) and (c). Heck, we could even try brewing some mate kombucha...<br>
