Adventures with Fermentation

A month ago I attended the first session presented by Andrea Fabry about Fermentation. She inspired me with her story and I'm now hooked on fermentation. In this past month I have fermented:
(1) Water Kefir
(2) Dairy Kefir
(3) Yogurt
(4) Ginger Bug/ Ginger Ale
(5) Cabbage Juice Tonic
(6) Sauerkraut
(7) Zucchini and Garlic
(8) Cranberries and Ginger
(9) Rejuvelac
(10) Kombucha
(11) Applesauce/ Fruit Leather
(12) Creme Fraiche
(13) Beet Kvass

I hope to revive this blog and post about all the fun I'm having in the kitchen with fermentation. Andrea's website is http://justso.co/. Check out her dramatic health story.
