Celebrate Home Fermentation Day This Saturday, 1st August!
Whether you love the gentle bubbling of an airlock, the satisfying crunch of a gherkin, or the creamy tartness of freshly set yoghurt, Saturday 1st August is a day made just for us: Home Fermentation Day!
Originally started in 2002 this global celebration to honour fermentation in all its living forms is a dedicated day to get into the kitchen, roll up your sleeves, and harness the magic of beneficial microbes—transforming simple, raw ingredients into something delicious, probiotic, and deeply rewarding.
What Are You Fermenting This Weekend?
To celebrate, we’re inviting all home fermenters—from absolute beginners to seasoned pros—to start a new project or raise a glass (or jar!) to the craft.
No matter which path of fermentation calls to you, we’ve got everything you need to get things bubbling:
- Raise a Glass to Great Beer: Grain, hops, yeast, and clean heat—nothing beats brewing your own pint. Explore our range of Beer Brewing Recipe Kits to brew your next classic style.
- Master the Honey Brew: Honour the roots of the holiday with handcrafted mead using our comprehensive Mead Making Kits.
- Craft Your Own Wines: Prefer the vine? Craft full-bodied reds or crisp whites right from home with our Wine Making Ingredient Kits.
- Tangy, Probiotic Kefir: Elevate your daily routine with fresh, gut-friendly kefir using our Kefir Making Cultures.
- Silky Homemade Yoghurt: Ditch the store-bought tubs and craft creamy, custom batches with our Yoghurt Cultures, Equipment, & Kits.
- Artisanal Cheesemaking: From soft, fresh chèvre to aged hard cheeses, step into the world of dairy transformation with our Cheesemaking Cultures, Equipment, & Kits.
- Fiery Hot Sauces & Tangy Veggies: Bring on the lacto-fermentation! Pickle seasonal produce or ferment your own signature hot sauce using our Fermented Hot Sauce & Food Kits.
