Part II of the Institute of Domestic Technology’s Fermentation Fest begins with a lecture on Friday, April 26. The next day will feature a hands-on workshop. Here’s the description from the IDT’s website:
Full-Day Hands-On Fermentation Workshop: $195 (Includes lunch, snacks and a take-home fermentation jar)
Saturday, April 27th, 10 ~ 4pm | Greystone Mansion Vintage Kitchen (Beverly Hills)
Sign up here.
Our full-day fest of all things fermented continues in spades by diving into a hands-on sauerkraut making session. You’ll make your own batch of sauerkraut and go home with a custom glass fermenting jar (included for each participant).
We’ll move on to a traditional Korean kimchi recipe using easy to find ingredients as well as a walkthrough of selected authentic Korean ingredients for those of you ambitious fermentors.
Lunch is included and will include delicious fermented ingredients and beverages.
The Fest continues with a fermented dark whole-grain rye bread recipe made with wild yeast starter. We’ll finish the day with a quick brine-based daikon radish fermented pickle and the signature Institute Flavor Bar™ packed full of spices and flavorings to make your pickle unique.

I love the jar in the photo. Where can I get one (or 10)? Thank you.
Erik just grabbed that pic somewhere, and doesn’t know its source. That type of jar is called a wire bale jar, or sometimes a lightning jar (I’m not sure if those terms are synonymous–they could identify different wire closures). They used to be used for canning. I don’t know if they’re sold new anymore–you can find antique ones, though. I believe the Weck jars have sort of taken over in their place.
But if anyone knows different, I’d love to know!
