It’s time to raise a glass and send off Alcohol season! 

That means we have entered Rot season! You can read more about our plans for this season on the syllabus.

We’ll be starting Rot season off strong with an event at e5 Bakehouse on Monday 6 June! This class will be an introductory session on at-home fermenting with a discussion about traditional fermentation methods and how you can incorporate small ferments into your home kitchen without a huge investment into materials and ingredients. Tickets include a your own ferment to take home! Learn more and buy tickets here.
