Fizz: Making Natural, Non-Alcoholic Fermented Drinks
Fermentation can produce some fantastic non-alcoholic drinks like kombucha, water kefir, and beet kvass. These fizzy drinks are packed with healthy bacteria and have complex tastes. Some options are now offered in top restaurants and bars, but you can also make them at home. Fermented drinks are a great alternative to wine or beer, perfect for those who want to reduce alcohol intake or boost their probiotics.
This book provides accessible recipes with step-by-step illustrations, scientific background on fermentation, and anecdotes about the origin of these extraordinary drinks.

Portland's most colorful, authentic, and empowering publishing house and distributor, Microcosm Publishing equips readers to make positive changes in their lives and in the world around them. Microcosm emphasizes skill-building, showing hidden histories, and fostering creativity through challenging conventional publishing wisdom with books and zines about DIY skills, food, bicycling, gender, self-care, and social justice.Microcosm has lived in milk crates, in closets, in a mud room, in a windowless basement, in a church, and under a desk at a major credit card company. We've brought our brightly colored books to infoshops, zine fests, media summits, bicycle conferences, parks, street corners, house shows, dirty bars, allnight coffeeshops, art museums, and every corner of the mainstream where we can clear away a little space to set up shop. We set out to save ourselves from not caring, but out there in the margins we've found communities worth always doing it better for. Now we have contracts instead of handshakes, a warehouse instead of a fanny pack full of zines. We have a staff, we have relationships in the industry that send our books to places we wouldn't have dreamed we could walk into ourselves. We're not as drunk or dirty as we used to be. But still, at heart, we've got this milk crate strapped to the back of a bike and we're riding wildly across town to hand you the book that might just be the one that saves your life!
