Best gift I have purchased
I purchased the French Sourdough Starter Kit as a gift for my daughter Felicity, and she has absolutely mastered it! The kit was beautifully presented and came with everything she needed to get started. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and within no time she was baking delicious, crusty sourdough loaves that taste amazing.
It’s been such a joy watching her enthusiasm grow and seeing the wonderful results each week. This kit has truly sparked her love for sourdough baking — a perfect gift for anyone wanting to try something new and rewarding. Highly recommend!

Making great Kefir
Arrived quickly and very much alive, I'm now making fresh Kefir daily! Super happy with the purchase. I've tried powders before, but they weren't as effective as these live grains.

Hi team
We had some questions when the kefir grains arrived and Sandy from the Fermentation Station was super prompt with her responses which helped a lot.
I can recommend The Fermentation Station highly.

Stick with a sharp end
It's a wooden-handled metal stick with a razor on the end. Makes a neat slash in your sourdough. Hooray etc. Comes with spare blades. Came with the Sourdough Master Kit which has mostly useful items, and some less useful clutter (pen, sticky labels).

Speedy
Not just in shipping but also in how quickly these started multiplying. I'm already fermenting 1.5 litres of sugar water every 2 days.
