Been following r/fermentation for some years but haven't fermented anything myself.. had the opportunity to try some homemade mead once. Definitely want to give that a proper attempt.

Had a roommate try to make kombucha once but I'm pretty sure it spoiled 💁

Oh, I love kombucha too!!! And it's actually quite easy to make. I've been making kombucha for many years and hat tons and tons of scoby stacking 😂

People are more afraid that something bad will happen because we have been trained that mold and fungi etc. can be toxic. But if everything is done relatively cleanly, nothing can actually go wrong. Observing and trusting your taste and sight... and things will turn out well. Maybe I'll offer a workshop in English one day...

I would like to encourage you to try it 👍🏼

Yeah that's kind of how I think of it too.. it reminds me of houseplants.. I got into them last year and I post on Reddit plant subs and find a lot of people making very common and simple mistakes.. it seems to be that way in the fermentation world too.. a bit more paranoia and fear than real risk.. but there is certainly risk.. I've worked in a lot of kitchens so I generally operate in peak sanitary conditions.. tough to imagine anything less.. your jars of bubbly stuff give me life 🤣 I should start growing mushrooms 🍄 lmao

You call it exactly right...To much paranoia and not trusting enough our instincts and senses...Of course, it's with everything the same...by trying we make experiences and so we learn and improve :)

Haha....I want to grow mushrooms too 😂
