Fermentation & Brewing

Monthly experiments for the home brewer who wants to go deeper

Fermentation is the oldest food technology in the world and the home fermentation scene in South Africa is tiny but serious. This box is for the person who already makes kombucha or sourdough and wants to go further — kimchi, kefir, water kefir, wild ales, tepache, kvass.
