About the Author

Eric Childs started Kombucha Brooklyn in his Williamsburg apartment in 2007. After sharing his home brew with friends, he was overwhelmed with requests for more, and soon the Kombuchman was born. Today he is CEO of East Coast Cultures LLC, parent company of Kombucha Brooklyn, which develops its home brew kits and liquid alchemy in the legendary Pfizer building in Brooklyn, NY.
 
Jessica Childs is a published molecular biologist, holding a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology from Bard College and a Chef’s Training Certificate from the Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts in New York City. Eric invited Jessica, a fellow fermentation junkie, to help him bottle his kombucha home brew, and from the get-go her experience with fermentation and knowledge of microbiology and healthful culinary traditions fueled the growth of Kombucha Brooklyn and now East Coast Cultures LLC.
