Very lucky to have found this site that sells organic milk kefir grains as local stores have all gone out of stock! Everyone must be in a kefir frenzy right now. Fast shipping, kefir arrived safely with simple instructions, easy to follow. First try was a bit over-fermented, but that's probably because of the 39C heatwave. Afterwards, I reduced the fermentation time to suit my family taste and kefir grains are growing nicely and we have milk kefir everyday! Very excited to continue this healthy habit.
The sourdough starter is now producing some excellent bread. Sourdough can be tricky to get correct, it took us until the 3rd loaf to get the best looking loaf. Definitely the French starter is a milder flavour, which is exactly what we were after
I am so happy with this starter. It has that perfect San Franciscan flavour - just the right amount of tang. Incredible to think that it is 130+ years old in origin. Previously I had been using a 5 year old starter and they are incomparable.
Packaged beautifully and loved the instruction postcard that came with it.
The 106-year-old French starter is incredible. It quickly produced strong dough. The flavour is beautifully balanced. My first loaf had a crisp crust, open crumb and my kitchen smelled amazing.
There’s something special about baking with a culture that has been alive for over a century.
Sandy was so helpful and really responsive by email. I highly recommend The Fermentation Station.
This is my favorite fermented drink - tastes great, ferments quickly and easy to prepare. Love it with added ginger, turmeric and pepper post fermentation. I will always have some on hand to drink every day. I was more than satisfied with the way the grains settled in and started quickly fermenting.
The Scoby arrived in perfect condition and hasn’t missed a beat
The Scoby arrived in perfect condition and hasn’t missed a beat. I started with a small batch (1 liter of tea) then moved to a bigger batch(3 liters). The scoby is growing nicely and the kombucha tastes like it should. Next step is to do a second ferment to add different flavors. Would highly recommend buying from The Fermentation Station, excellent products and service
