RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

That sounds dope. Where did you look for information on this? I've gotten into fermented foods more recently in my life and I love them.

Forums and blogs mostly; at the end of the day there's a lot of similarity between fermenting and brewing and they are both really basic. If you use a search engine good keywords for alcohol are 'hooch' and 'pruno' and for vegetables 'lacto ferment' and then add in whatever you are trying to ferment and you'll usually find lots of other people who have been doing it and love sharing their techniques.

My favorite right now is the Ginger Bug because i can't quite seem to get it right and carbonate tea with it and that makes it interesting as the rest were very simple.
