And other fermented goodies....do you partake?

I have had my own kefir grains for done time now but have gotten out of the habit of drinking it. They are currently dormant in my fridge. The taste is a little difficult for some to take ad it's essentially fermented milk but it gives you great pre and pro biotics.

I'm getting a scoby in the week to start brewing my own kombucha. I've tried canned stuff but I worry that the process of canning takes away a lot if the goodness.

Have to admit I've never tried kvass....it's a beetroot fermentation I believe.

I'm also being gifted a sour dough starter which I'm excited about!

I had water kefir but I was rubbish at looking after them properly because I was away from home so often. Fermentated beetroot? but I fancy having a go at making Kimchi. Good luck with your sour dough and kombucha

Kimchi is spicy isn't it? I'm not good with spice!

I want to try and make my own saurkraut

I make sauerkraut with my allotment veg. It does reasonably well in the crockpot. I also do yoghurt, that works well. I made sourdough yeast from grapes which worked okay for taste.

Kefir had a colony, if that’s the right word, for over 3 years, take it daily, really helped my stomach problems
