Fermentation Group

The fermentation group is for members who want to explore and improve their skills and knowledge across all aspects of fermentation, including kombucha, kefir, fermented vegetables, sourdough bread, all grain beer and country fruit wines. Some members follow individual projects and bring the results to meetings for discussion and often tasting, while others get to grips with basic techniques with help from the group. Results shared so far have included several flavours of kombucha, various sourdough breads, sauerkraut, kimchi, fermented mushrooms, miso, fermented oats, fermented ketchup, fermented rhubarb, apple cider vinegar and fermented green tomatoes, with an emphasis on using seasonal abundance. The group meets on the third Friday of the month at 2pm at a member's home.
