And don't forget - Monday 9/8 is our September meetup!
Come join us on Monday, Sept 8 from 7:00-8:30 at Rockaway Brewing Co in LIC.
September is here - and just like the start of a new school year, it's the perfect time to regroup, learn, and set ourselves up for success!
Our interactive theme this month is to Bring a ferment and come teach the group how to make it. Whether it is your "go-to" that you make all the time, or something new that you are experimenting with - bring it along and tell the group how to and why it works! If this is too intimidating, just show up with an idea of what you want to make and challenge the group to come up with a recipe/technique to guide you!

Also feel free to bring any extra fermentation vessels, excess ingredients (like kefir grains, sourdough, koji, brine, scobys, etc) to start someone on a new journey!

The possibilities are endless! Surprise us with what you can create and be prepared to enjoy fermented goodness brought by others! YUM!

Share in TASTINGS, fermentation ideas, techniques, questions, motivations, and more!
New to fermenting or it's been a while?? Come and check us out! We meet the first Monday of the month in Long Island City.
We are an eclectic and enthusiastic mix of happy nerdy fermenters.
Join us at any level with your curiosity and questions or with your fermented goodness expertise- you will be amazed at how you fit into and enjoy the group!

Try something new...
Go down a different path...
Start with a new ingredient...
Raise a familiar ingredient to a fermented height that you have never done before...
Get nerdy with us - and get ready to share in our enthusiasm!

Let's be creative and play it by ear with thoughtfulness and consideration of each other.

With bubbles for all,
NYC Ferments
