Fermentation Fundamentals is an easy-to-follow comprehensive course in creating nourishing fermented foods.

We will cover all the basic information you need to know before you begin; why fermentation is all the rage, what actually happens during fermentation and how you control what happens in your ferment, and the minimal equipment you need to get started (spoiler: you don't need fancy kits or expensive sachets of dried bacteria!), plus much more. You'll gain an incredibly thorough knowledge of the process of fermentation so that you can ferment perfectly on your first try! Then we will go through step-by-step how to make a wide range of ferments, from vegetables to beverages to condiments...

You will learn:

  • Kombucha (1st & 2nd ferment)
  • Water kefir (1st & 2nd ferment)
  • Milk Kefir (plus kefir cream, kefir cheese, and "milk-free" milk kefir!)
  • Beet Kvass
  • Sauerkraut
  • Dilly Cucumber Pickles
  • Probiotic Carrot Sticks
  • Tomato & BBQ Sauce
  • Applesauce

...With additional recipes uploaded throughout the year, to keep you fermenting new produce as the seasons change!
