Monday motivation: start a brew, not just a week.

Fermentation is slow magic. You mix, you wait, you watch. And a few days later, you have something you made with your own hands.

Our Chhaang kits take about 3 to 5 days to ferment. Start today, and by the weekend you'll be tasting the Himalayas.

No special equipment. No experience needed. Just millet, our traditional murcha culture, and a little patience.

I grew up waiting for this steam. 🏔️

In the Himalayas, Tongba isn't just a drink, it's how we welcome guests, warm up long winter nights, and pass stories around the fire.

After moving to the US, I missed that ritual so much I created Yak&Brew, so you can brew real Tongba at home with organic red finger millet and traditional fermentation culture. No brewing experience needed. Just patience and curiosity.

Don't Feel Like Straining Your Chhaang? Try This!

Hey everyone! 👋

Here's a little Chhaang brewing tip from Yak&Brew.

Want a smoother Chhaang without the usual mixing and straining process? Try this alternative method using the reusable fermentation bag included in your kit.

Here's how:

Ferment: Follow our regular Chhaang fermentation instructions until your batch is ready.

Soak: Scoop your desired amount of fermented Chhaang into a clean fermentation bag. Place it in a clean container, add drinking water until submerged, and refrigerate for approximately 24 hours.

Squeeze: Gently squeeze the bag into the container, just like a tea bag, to extract the remaining liquid.

Enjoy: You'll have a smoother Chhaang with less grain sediment.

Make it your own!

Prefer a bolder flavor? Use less water. Want something lighter? Add more water. Adjust according to your taste.

Save this tip for your next Chhaang batch, and share your brewing experience with us!
