Candace and Patrick have been fermenting in one form or another for 25 years (50 collectively!). They started off with Homebrew before it was popular and moved on to Hard Ciders, Perry’s, and Meads when they landed in Oregon. Sourdough, Kombucha, Kimchi, Saurkraut, and a host of of other concoctions have lived in their kitchen. Their love of fermentation may have started as a scheme designed to get their hands on cheaper beer, but it has bloomed into a deep and abiding love for the microbial colonies with whom we share this planet and our meals.
