We thought vinegar was not the sexiest topic when talking about fermentation. Little did we know! Upon writing the episode and diving deeper into this product we discovered there is so much more to this tangy liquid than one could imagine. We talk you through what acetic acid bacteria are, how balsamic vinegar is made and we teach you how to properly pronounce chinkiang vinegar!

#8 beer
Beer is what brought our fermentation guru Ivana to fermentation! Discovering how different yeasts can turn the same wort into two completely different beers blew her mind. In the episode we talk about how temperature influences aroma development in yeasts, how to make a delicious alcohol-free beer and how to make a bad tasting one ;-)

#7 sourdough
THIS should be your New Year's resolution: start making your own sourdough bread. We visited our favourite sourdough bakery in Amsterdam, Maarten Langeslag's, "Fort 9", and picked his brain on how to make the perfect starter and most of all: how not to be afraid of sourdough and just start!

#6 rotfest fermentation festival
For this episode, we went to one of the funkiest events of the Netherlands: Rotfest. During the day we cornered some interesting macroorganisms to ask them all about what fermentation means to them, their worst ánd their best ferments. We discovered black garlic-citric miso, pigeon feather distillate and hybrid soy yogurt that tastes like the real deal.

#5 cider
We are from an apple-producing country, but we produce ánd consume very little cider. Why is that? We walk you through different types of European ciders (including some Dutch ones), how it is made and how yeasts can be either introduced from a pouch or as a WILD fermentation. Cheers!
This podcast will alleviate your fears of microbes! We will tell you more about fermentation by combining science and practice in a bi-weekly episode introducing a new fermented product. We will build your knowledge from the very basics all the way to futuristic fermentations.
