Making Fermentation Crocks (2-part Advanced Workshop)
Thursday August 21 and Thursday August 28th, 5:30pm-8:30pm
Skill Level: Advanced. Participant should be able to easily center 3+ pounds of clay and pull walls for a larger form.
Want to make your own kimchi or sauerkraut in your very own fermentation vessel? In this workshop, we will cover making water-seal fermentation crocks. Fermentation crocks feature a “moat” around the rim in which the lid sits. The water in the moat allows CO2 gasses that accumulate during fermentation to escape, but does not allow air carrying potential contaminants to enter the vessel. It is a functional airlock, perfect for fermenting tasty and high quality vegetables!
