FAQ

What equipment do I need for this course??

This course requires no tool or ingredients. If after this course, you want to get into the actual Fermentation, you’ll be suprised how few tools you need.

I have never fermented before, can I still take this course?

YES! That’s the whole point of this course. To start from the beginning, and teach you the very basics (and advanced knowledge) of Fermentation. No previous experience or knowledge is required, but even if you do have prior experience, you’ll be certain to learn from this course.

Will there be support?

Can’t I just find this information for free online??

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.
