The Lacto-Fermented Sodas Guide is officially out! A deep dive into living sodas made with Ginger Bug, Water Kefir, Whey, Amazake, and Kvass — all naturally carbonated, low-sugar, and driven by microbes, not machines. It’s for bartenders, chefs, fermenters, and everyone else!

YOUR ADS MAKE MY EYES BLEED. Too many Dubai designs still look stuck in the early 2000s — rushed, cluttered, and overdone. Not a lack of creativity, but of training and taste. In a city built on innovation, visual design should feel future, not flashback.

Working on the new menu featuring jiu niang – a complex ferment that is produced by the combination of yeast and molds (both Aspergillus and Rhizopus). #fermentation

Fermenting mirin with whiskey and koji. The fermentation process of mirin is based on the enzymatic action of koji. Just combine the ingredients and wait 😃

Kicking off our fermentation webinars this Sunday at 2 PM GST. Exciting!


Traditionally, kisel was a fermented oat-based dish, eaten warm as a porridge. Over time, it evolved into a velvety tangy beverage made from fermented oats and berries. When powdered starch became widely available, the fermentation step was often abandoned, sadly.


Mirin is versatile. It’s perfect for glazing proteins, enhancing soups, or adding complexity to marinades. In bars, this mirin may serve as a natural sweetener, helping you crack no-added-sugar cocktails.


Fermenting yogurt from amazake is a two-step fermentation process that leverages the enzymatic activity of Aspergillus oryzae (koji mold) to break down starches into fermentable sugars, which are then metabolized by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) to produce lactose-free yogurt. #koji

Parents today: Text me when you get there, text me the names of the kids who are there, text me when you're coming home. Parents in the 90s: Bye.
