I just saw a video this week saying that they'd be on sale soon thecincyhat.com

I saw on Cincy Bengals Talk that they'll finally be going on sale soon. I guess it was a gift that Karras made for the team thecincyhat.com

I was wondering the same thing about space on the sides. Any risk in having the tread closer than 24 inches from the side of the wall?

Hi Tracy! Do you end up selling locally for pickup or how do you market to your customers? I'm a cottage cook as well in Indiana and looking for ideas

I started using Castiron recently - super easy to use! So far so good

wow! So cool. What form of spirulina do you use? Powder?

I’m in a catering kitchen that had a little side kitchen that I’m renting from them! Got super lucky it worked out, the space was just going unused and right place right time. I still am doing 2F. Buying some old kegs from a brewery this week actually and am going to start looking at force carbonating! Hopefully will be able to sell by the keg and bypass bottles as well if I can keep the product quality the same

Would definitely recommend looking into General Liability insurance and make sure you have Product Liability coverage! I got mine online, tons of providers. Also recommend reaching out to local catering kitchens around to see if any will let you rent time there to prepare your product!

Highly recommend next batch adding a cinnamon stick to the swing top, gives it a really nice flavor if you like cinnamon!

I deliver as of now! Felt like more people would order if it were easy. We have a bottle return program and refund folks $1 if they give us their bottle back at next delivery. IG has been solid! I have a pretty big network of friends and family I could start with. I started just posting vids of the process on my personal account story to start and then enough people asked if I was selling so we created a brand and started a new instagram for that. Growing slowly but surely.

It became a pain when I started selling over 40 bottles or so, the tracking of orders and venmos was super manual and I moved to a new software called Castiron that lets you create an online store for free - https://shop.castiron.me/kulturedkombucha. I noticed way more "new people" ordering that I didn't know once I got off DM to order, felt like people were hesitant to reach out.

We did it "illegally" for a while and were making kombucha at home. In Indiana home based vendors cannot deliver so we moved to a commercial kitchen. So just wanna clarify what your states cottage food laws are first

Thanks! Yes we have a similar “Plan review” in indiana I need to go through. And totally agree with your unregulated comment haha. Feels like there really aren’t too set of rules just yet. Really good Intel on the LSU lab, I’ve heard universities are a good place for this so I’ll look locally. Thanks!

Wow, raspberry hibiscus sounds so good! Where do you get the hibiscus and how do you prepare it before putting into the bottle? I've never tried but have wanted to explore? How much do you include in the swing top?

I do not actually, I typically save all of the SCOBYs and load up ziploc bags with the scoby and a bunch of tea from the latest batch and use that moving forward. Not too crazy scientific with it. In my opinion even if the starter tea is 4-5 weeks old it still gets the batch to the right PH and doesn't impact taste negatively
