The Art Of Fermentation: A Brief Guide

Fermentation. The process behind a loaf of bread or a glass of wine. An ancient practice, that seems quasi-mystical to beginners and experts alike. There are many benefits behind fermentation, especially in an age that favours antibiotics to treat illness. Bacteria is often thought of as harmful, but there are also beneficial bacteria that can counter illness and maintain health. Fermented foods, also known as probiotic food,make these forms of bacteria available to us. A person with diverse gut bacteria has better immunity to diseases and is healthier in general. This doesn't mean that fermentation is a cure to all ailments, but can still be beneficial over time.
So, how does one go about starting their fermentation adventures? I was lucky to attend sessions conducted by Mr. Sandor Katz, an expert in the field. Using my notes from those sessions I compiled a brief guide on the basics of fermentation which I've included here.

I hope this guide was helpful and will enable you to start your own fermentation adventures.

Shining On: An Original Poem
Did you do the whole design layout with the yellow boxes? It's very pleasing to read like this.
Thank you for reading my post!
Yes, I did the layout myself, putting my design skills to use with notes from a workshop .
Everything I post is original content.
The photographs from the kimchi section are from the first batch of kimchi I made myself!
It's a little time consuming to save and upload each page separately, but I'm glad you liked it.
It means a lot to me that my effort was recognized.
I Like it very much. Wish I could reward it more.
Have you had an invite to the homesteading community yet? We are a group of homesteaders, gardeners, preppers and other like minded people who try to support each other, however we can. Here are the links if you'd like to have a look:
Thank you! Just the fact that you stopped by and left a comment means a lot. That kind of encouragement is the best kind of reward. I actually found you through the homesteaders community on discord. I've also found a lot of helpful and inspiring posts there. Glad to be part of this wonderful community. Looking forward to sharing inspiration!
Haha! Just goes to show you I don't get on there often enough! I struggle to find the time, but even in my brief visits I learn so much.
Have you tried using the #homesteadersonline tag? When we don't get onto discord we'll often check there to see who's writing.
Yeah, I get that. I'm not there frequently either, but always find something of value when I am.
Thank you for the tag suggestion. I'll add it to my next relevant post.
I've been using permaculture and sustainability mostly but it makes sense to use a community tag that others can access easily.
