I started mine by using a bottle of GTs Kombucha from the health store and various instructions found online. It worked fine for me.

My first scoby baby will go to my neighbor. Not sure how many extras to expect to have.

I've never had Kimchi. What recipe did you follow?

I just found my Nourishing Traditions hiding book on a bottom shelf. :D

Working on a batch of lacto fermented sauerkraut.
I just tasted my last batch of sauerkraut. I was going to have some for dinner tonight but it is real salty. Suggestions anyone?

Yes, just take out what you want to eat for supper and put it in a colander and rinse lightly until it tastes right. Use less salt next time.

Yes we have done that also. Just rinse until it tastes right. It takes a few tries until you get the hang of using the salt.

My first ever attempt at fermenting (sauerkraut) has just been placed in the cellar.
