Our bases blend into your existing process with no new equipment, backed by the documentation and the pilot batch you need before anyone signs anything off.
You need to produce something fermented on a line that wasn't built for it
You need more capacity, but can't get it without new equipment or a new site
You're qualifying a new base and you need the right documentation
Batch variation is landing on you, and the starter culture is the suspect
Alcohol is creeping over the limit somewhere in your operation
Your co-packer won't handle live cultures, or you're the co-packer being asked to
You've been quoted for tanks, with no guarantee you'll get the most out of them
You dilute to your target ratio, add flavouring, carbonate and package. Everything else remains consistent.
| What doesn't change | What does change |
|---|---|
| You don't need new tanks, fermentation vessels or temperature-controlled space | The fermentation is already done, so we deal with batch variation before it reaches you |
| You keep your usual CIP cleaning routine, with no extra steps for live cultures | Alcohol arrives under 0.5% and stays there, raw or pasteurised |
| You keep your filling and packaging equipment exactly as it is | Our bases hold for months rather than days, unlocking more room in your production schedule |
| You need no new headcount and no fermentation training | We hold stock on your own continent, so if a retailer moves a date or a forecast jumps, you can respond |
DocumentationYou get full batch traceability, spec sheets, certificates of analysis, and allergen and origin details as standard.
CertificationWe're SQF and GFSI accredited, with Organic, Kosher and Halal certification across our range.
Pilot batchWe run a test batch on your own line before full production. Standard, not an extra.
AlcoholOur bases always finish under 0.5% ABV, so alcohol never pushes your drink over the limit. No held stock and no recalls.
Minimum volumeWe typically start at 10,000 units per run, with some flexibility depending on your category and stage.
Lead timesOur bases are held in the USA, the UK, the Netherlands and Ireland, so orders ship in days from local stock.
Where we supplyWe supply Europe, North America, Asia and Oceania, so wherever you produce, we supply you from your own region.
Shelf stabilityOur bases are strong, long-aged and stored at room temperature, so they last much longer than finished drinks and don't need chilling.
SupportYou get a named technical contact through the entire process of working with us.
A large US kombucha manufacturer was brewing 1,000 litres of their flagship recipe every week, but no two batches tasted the same, and consumers were starting to notice.

A growing US brand had turned down ambient distribution because its product needed cold chain, until a change of base made the listing possible.
Read the case studyOther teams will need to say yes too. We make that easy, with clear support for each of them.
A small pilot batch on your own line is the normal first step, and you don't have to commit to anything before it.
