Fermentation isn’t the problem — uncertainty is
Most fermentation advice is vague or contradictory. That’s fine until you’re standing in the kitchen with a jar that doesn’t look, smell, or behave as expected.
This guide replaces guesswork with clear, conservative rules. It explains what actually controls fermentation outcomes — salt, acidity, temperature, oxygen, and time — and how to interpret what you’re seeing with confidence.
What you’ll learn
- How salt, acidity, temperature, oxygen, and time affect outcomes
- How to tell normal changes from warning signs
- How to identify mould correctly (and when to stop immediately)
- How to interpret smell and progression without panic
- When to continue, correct, or discard — using conservative decision rules
- Storage guidance and secondary risks (pressure, re-fermentation, shelf life)
Who it’s for
- Home fermenters who care about safety and consistency
- Beginners who want clear boundaries (not vague reassurance)
- Experienced fermenters who want a conservative reference tool
- Anyone who has ever thought: “I’m not sure about this.”
Who it’s not for
- People looking for recipes
- Anyone who wants shortcuts or “trust your instincts” guidance
- Anyone who isn’t concerned about risk
