NYC FERMENTS - SEPTEMBER MEETUP!

Come join us LABOR DAY Monday, Sept 7 from 7:00-8:30 at Rockaway Brewing Co in LIC for our monthly meetup! Share in TASTINGS, fermentation ideas, techniques, questions, motivations, etc! SUMMER! SUMMER! SUMMER! Enjoy the all-too-short season of delicious local fruit! Watch carefully - between the high sugar content of fruit and also the warm temperatures this year - fermentation happens quickly! Lots of options (think salt, sugar, honey...) as ingredients with fruit for a variety of different outcomes: Here's a link to Farmhouse on Boone with 2 fruit ferment methods - the first one includes a salt brine, while the second is a sweet sugar brine - [https://www.farmhouseonboone.com/how-to-make-fermented-fruit#](https://www.farmhouseonboone.com/how-to-make-fermented-fruit#) Great ideas for techniques and also using your fermented summer fruit - https://www.fermentingforfoodies.com/fermented-berry-sauce/ Or go down a different path and create fruity syrupy dark HONEY magic in a jar - [https://insaneinthebrine.com/honey-ferments/](https://insaneinthebrine.com/honey-ferments/) Check out Cultures for Health site for some good advise about ferments in the heat - [https://culturesforhealth.com/blogs/learn/blog-fermenting-in-the-heat](https://culturesforhealth.com/blogs/learn/blog-fermenting-in-the-heat) The possibilities are endless!
