Come join us Monday, May 5 from 7:00-8:30 at Rockaway Brewing Co in LIC.
This month we are thinking of building blocks of Fermentation - you are encouraged to bring in to trade or gift a "foundation" to others in the group!! If you don't have a foundation (yet...) come in with an empty jar or baggie and an open mind and get ready to ride down the fermentation tracks to a happier fermented place!
Below are a few ideas of "foundations" along with some weblinks to techniques/recipes:
SALT / brine - lacto ferment veggies - https://homesteadersofamerica.com/fermenting-basics/
SOURDOUGH STARTER - bread - https://breadtopia.com/basic-all-purpose-sourdough-bread/
KOJI - miso and nato - https://www.fermentingforfoodies.com/homemade-miso/
SCOBY - kombucha - https://www.liveeatlearn.com/the-simple-guide-to-kickass-kombucha/comment-page-8/
GRAINS - milk kefir - https://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-milk-kefir-cooking-lessons-from-the-kitchn-202022
water kefir - https://www.feastingathome.com/water-kefir/
Come join us with just your curiosity or bring along something that you have fermented and be prepared to enjoy fermented goodness brought by others! YUM!
Come and share in TASTINGS, fermentation ideas, techniques, questions, motivations, etc!
New to fermenting or it's been awhile?? Come and check us out! We meet the first Monday of the month in Long Island City.
We are an eclectic and enthusiastic mix of happy nerdy fermenters.

Try something new...
Go down a different path...
Start with a new ingredient...
Raise a familiar ingredient to a fermented height that you have never done before...
Get nerdy with us - and get ready to share in our enthusiasm!
Let's be creative and play it by ear with thoughtfulness and consideration of each other in this new time.
