Fermentation & Pickling Masterclass — Sauerkraut, Seasonal Pickles & Kombucha

Join Nellie for a hands-on fermentation and pickling class where you will learn how to make sauerkraut, seasonal pickles and kombucha at home.

Fermentation and pickling are two of the most wonderful ways to preserve seasonal produce and bring brightness, flavour and goodness to your everyday meals.

In this 2.5-hour class, we will make a simple seasonal sauerkraut, a seasonal vinegar-based pickle, and explore the wonderful world of kombucha. You will learn the difference between fermenting and pickling, how to prepare jars safely, how to store your creations, and how to troubleshoot common questions.

In this hands-on class, we will take the mystery out of fermenting and pickling at home. 

In this class, you will learn how to:

Make a simple seasonal sauerkraut

✨ Understand how vegetable fermentation works

✨ Make a seasonal vinegar-based pickle

✨ Understand the difference between fermenting and pickling

✨ Prepare jars safely

✨ Understand sterilising, bottling and storage

✨ Care for a kombucha SCOBY

✨ Understand first and second fermentation

✨ Flavour and bottle kombucha

✨ Taste kombucha at different stages

✨ Troubleshoot common fermentation questions

The class also includes practical information on jars, sterilising, bottling, storage and troubleshooting, so you leave feeling confident rather than confused.

You will go home with your own sauerkraut, a seasonal pickle, a flavoured kombucha made in class, and your very own SCOBY to continue brewing at home.

This class is perfect for curious beginners, food lovers, gardeners, preservers and anyone who wants to make the most of beautiful seasonal produce.
