A warm trunk sounds like a recipe for a science experiment gone wrong.

It's funny how we get stuck on the idea that things need perfect conditions. My grandma used to make yogurt by just wrapping the pot in a towel and leaving it on the counter overnight. The kombucha in a car trunk is the same kind of idea, just using what you have. There's a whole lot of making do and clever fixes that happen outside of fancy kitchens. It reminds me that a lot of good stuff gets made when people just work with the warmth they can find.

Actually used to think you needed a fancy setup for that stuff. Saw a guy in a parking lot doing kombucha once and it blew my mind. Just a bunch of jars in the back of his hatchback. Totally changed how I see making food now. Guess you just need the idea and a warm trunk.
