[Foodhacking_at_camp] Kvass beverage

Hi all,

I can do a small workshop/demonstration about traditional Russian
beverage "kvass":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kvass
I can show how to do self-made kvass from black bread and kvass from
wort (you can buy it in Russia specifically for kvass).

Though to make this happen I need some help from local people, as I
can't bring everything needed from Russia. Specifically, to make good
kvass we need a warm place for 24h (25-30 centigrades) for
fermentation phase and a refrigerator (~5-10 centigrades) for
carbonation stage. Sieve will be also needed. Is possible to get
access to such places/equipment at the Camp? And is it interesting for
the FooHacking village?

PS Commercially sold kvass often has taste similar to Cola, but it is
much more healthy. This makes me wonder why it is not popular in, say,
US where people tend to worry a lot about their health.
