In this 3 hour workshop on every full moon, this season the guest will be taught the ancient art of fermentation using traditional methods and materials with Chef David. This journey into history will take the guest through the origins of ancient fermented beverages such as Mead, Cider, Castimoniale, Tej, Beer and Wine all from a time before Sulphites and other additives. We will make a recipe together and everybody leaves with their own 1-gallon jug of must, airlock, appropriate yeast or scoby and the recipe for their own fermented beverage to try at home.

Objectives: 

Our guests will learn how to ferment different foods and will be given the tools to continue the process at home.

Level Required:

All Levels. Must be 18 years or older.

Course Language:  

The teacher will be giving the course in french and will be able to translate the difficult parts. However, if you need full-time translation, thank you for noticing us. We cannot promise it, but if several students need it, we’ll arrange something.
