Family affair

It took a few goes to get it right but now every morning me and the pets have milk kefir for breakfast

Great product

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

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

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

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
