Chhaang DIY Kit

Everything you need to brew real Himalayan Chhaang at home, no experience needed. Light, tangy, and refreshing, Chhaang is the cool, bright side of Himalayan brewing, traditionally enjoyed cold, cloudy, and communal.

What's in the box

• 1 lb red finger millet and 1 lb short grain sushi rice (uncooked, 2 lbs total)
• Yeast starter, 1.6 oz (45 g), in your choice of strain below
• 1 reusable aluminum straw (Pipsing)
• 1 organic cotton bag (14 x 12 in) for fermenting and straining
• Step by step brewing guidance

Choose your starter

• Murcha Style: the traditional, slow fermenting culture. Tangy and lightly sweet, with notes of red apple and stone fruit and a gentle natural fizz.
• Easy Everest Edition: a faster acting culture. Clean and lightly sweet with citrus notes and a bright, crisp finish, and forgiving in warmer conditions.

How it works

Cook the grain blend, mix in the starter, and let it ferment for a few days. Scoop the fermented grains into the cotton straining bag, submerge it in warm water, and gently squeeze. Pour and sip, then repeat. Enjoy Chhaang chilled for a crisp finish, or at room temperature.
