Fermentation Masterclasses

We run regular monthly classes so you can learn how to make sauerkraut, kimchi and a range of kombuchas, plus occasional special guest classes. Head to our Eventbrite page for the full range of classes and dates.

Kombucha Workshop

Ruth from Edinburgh Fermentarium will be hosting this workshop to teach you how to make Kombucha for yourself at home. For more details and booking info please visit our Eventbrite page.

Kraut & Kimchi Workshop

Learn how to make kraut and kimchi and how to feel confident to make them at home – a brilliant use of leftover veggies! For more details & booking please head to our Eventbrite page.

New Nukazuke Fermented Pickles workshop

The Edinburgh Fermentarium founder, Ruth Munro, will introduce participants to the delicious and nutritious world of fermented vegetables. This technique has been used for centuries in Japan – and the result is a tangy treat that not only packs a punch in the flavour department but is full of health-promoting nutrients and bacteria.

"This is a relatively new process for me. I learned all about it on my trip to Japan last year. I'm currently obsessed with it. The vegetables transform within only 24 hours. It's really amazing"

Ruth

Participants will make their own Nukadoko (fermented rice or wheat bran bed) to take home and ferment Nukazuke Pickles. Nukadoko are often passed down through generations and traditional manufacturers maintain and use them for over 300 years.

We will also make a small jar of Misozuke.

Towards the end of the class we will enjoy a small Japanese style meal with rice and lots of ferments and pickles
