FARMcurious Fermenting Set - a Simpler Way to Culture

Posted on Tuesday, May 13, 2014 | By Alycia Lang |
Sauerkraut 128You can hardly turn on the news without hearing about a new discovery about the "human microbiome", that collection of bacteria living in an on our bodies. Study findings tell us that a more diverse collection of 'gut bacteria' will help with everything from a weak immune system, irritable bowel syndrome and even obesity! So why isn't everyone loading up on fermented food? Asking this question to anyone who would listen in the past year has led me to believe that these are the issues that seem to turn people away.

  • Fear of yeast and mold growing on top

  • Space limitations

  • Expense of fancy fermentation setups

  • Lack of knowledge on how to do it

  • Unwillingness to have something 'smelly' in the house

  • Not sure whether they like to eat fermented things or how to use them
No one seems to question the idea that eating more probiotic, live-cultured food is probably a good idea. However, convincing the larger part of the population that it's perfectly safe and normal to eat something that's been resting under a slimy layer of mold is another battle altogether.

Fermenting Set - 1 black, 1 zincEnter the FARMcurious Fermenting Set with ReCAP.

The set will allow you to:

  • Ferment batches in standard wide-mouth mason jars without risking explosion

  • Minimize the risk of growing nasty yeast and mold in your fermented food

  • Ferment smaller batches with more variety, allowing for more experimentation

  • Avoid having to commit a large storage space to single-use bulky fermentation crocks

  • Experiment more and explore more varieties of fermented yumminess

  • Reduce off-putting funky fermenting smells
Plus, it's not single purpose! When you're not fermenting, use the ReCAP lid without the airlock to tote around smoothies or coffee! We're promoting the FARMcurious Fermenting Set through Kickstarter and we've already reached our tier 1 goal, guaranteeing its success. We still need your help sharing the project though.
