Caitlin Strongarm removes the lid from her glass jar of kombucha and peers inside. She recently lost a batch to mould. But this one has grown a new scoby: pale, flabby and the sign of a healthy kombucha.
We are inside Strongarm’s home, a bright warehouse unit (a former piano factory) at Omega Works on Hermitage Road, Haringey, that she shares with seven others.
