Fermentation has always been about sharing. It is because our ancestors shared their kefir grains or kombucha SCOBY with others that we can still enjoy these great products today.
Plus, the act of sharing fermented foods and drinks can help to spread knowledge and enthusiasm about fermentation. When we share our creations with others, we are introducing them to a whole new world of flavors and health benefits, and inspiring them to experiment and create their own fermented treats.
So, included with each Fermentation Fundamentals course comes access to our private Facebook group. Share your questions, your answers, and your love for fermentation in general with other fermentation lovers!

“I’ve made kimchi several times before, but never really understood what I was doing. So, sometimes it was great, sometimes mheeew. Now I understand what I did wrong. No more mheeew for me.”

Yes and no. YouTube indeed will teach you a lot. However, in our experience as educators the content is usually quite shallow and spread out over different video’s on different accounts, making it hard to get the full picture. Sure, in a 10 minute video you can show a kimchi recipe. But after this, you’ll know just one recipe. You will not understand the concept behind it, which is essential to becoming a better, more creative and more safe Fermenter. Furthermore we offer after care and will answer all your questions, give you a recipe ebook, and a quiz to test your new skills.
