Fermentation in the news! I’m toying with the idea of making weekly posts on different fermentation stories making it into the news whether it’s a newspaper writing a story on something relating to fermentation, a new recipe I might find interesting, or even health related involving fermentation.

Today I wanted to cover how to make ginger beer, how to make lacto-fermented soda, and some of the benefits of drinking ginger beer (or ginger ale). The history behind ginger beer is long and somewhat obscure but there’s no doubt of it’s popularity and it’s great taste. Also, once you know how to make …

What can you do with leftover pickle juice or any of the fermented brines that we’ve all come to have in abundance when you get into fermenting? I mean you don’t just pour it out do you? Do you?!? This is something I quickly began to think about as soon as I had multiple jars …

Today I do a book review on Nourishing Traditions by Sallon Fallon and Mary Enig. This book has been held in high regards by many homesteaders, fermentation enthusiasts, and generally by several people who want to eat more naturally and back to the earth. While I don’t agree with everything in the book, I feel …
