I haven't done this yet, but it's crossed my mind a number of times. What is the initial investment? I am lacto-fermenting cabbage this year, other vegetables, and some fruits too. The stuff is out of this world, very easy and very cheap to make. Can you put me on your Beer Thirty list? It might inspire me to make some marigold wine sometime, some brew, etc.

United States of Budweiser?

You have been added to the ping list.

You can get started with basic “get started” equipment for $70 to $100. This site ships for free and is good to order equipment from.

It is easy to brew up a good beer. Boiling water and adding ingredients at the proper time. It is probably best to start with Extract kits. The waiting for the beer to ferment and age is the hardest part.

Lacto fermenting of food can be very healthy and does not take a lot of time to do. Do you use whey?

Your remarks here got me to try lacto-fermenting for the first time.
Packed some of my grated turnips in a brine and i was astonished at how good they were after a week. Neighbor loves them too.

Many thanks!
