On Saturday (21st) we went to Olympic National park. I talked to the organizers, we discussed my hobbies. They suggested if I might be able to brew my brews for their crowd in one of the larger events. That is such an honor. I have lived all my life for it. At this pace my learning and exploration with chhyang is going to be quite slow. There's not enough people to drink, not enough motivation to make, not even drive to do it in volume. If I'm making for hundreds of people, however, the scale changes. Not just that, I'll have to think about the end-use experience. What are they expecting? Will I be able to give them what I want? If not, how do we shape expectations? how do we change the final product according to their tastes. These questions and attempts at answering them will allow me to improve my fermentation techniques.
Going commercial is a faraway goal for me. Getting anything at scale is challenging, specially when your potential market is so small. But if somebody gives me the platform to practice my hobbies...yes please, I'd like that very much.
Chhyang and tongba production at scale might be coming in the near future!
