Come join us Monday, Aug 3 from 7:00-8:30 at Rockaway Brewing Co in LIC for our monthly meetup! Share in TASTINGS, fermentation ideas, techniques, questions, motivations, etc! SUMMER! SUMMER! SUMMER! Enjoy the all-too-short season of delicious local fruit! Watch carefully - between the high sugar content of fruit and also the warm temperatures this year - fermentation happens quickly! Lots of options (think salt, sugar, honey...) as ingredients with fruit for a variety of different outcomes: Here's a link to Farmhouse on Boone with 2 fruit ferment methods - the first one includes a salt brine, while the second is a sweet sugar brine - https://www.farmhouseonboone.com/how-to-make-fermented-fruit Or go down a different path and create fruity syrupy dark HONEY magic in a jar - https://insaneinthebrine.com/honey-ferments/ Check out Cultures for Health site for some good advise about ferments in the heat - https://culturesforhealth.com/blogs/learn/blog-fermenting-in-the-heat The possibilities are endless! Surprise us with what you can create! New to fermenting or it's been a while?? Come and check us out! We are an eclectic and enthusiastic mix of happy nerdy fermenters. Join us at any level with your curiosity and questions or with your fermented goodness expertise- you will be amazed at how you fit into and enjoy the group! Try something new...
