Find a workable first step for fermentation

I am interested in fermentation too. I like the idea, but what is the smallest version you would actually try?

Jonathan Gilmore, one short attempt, then a decision about whether to repeat it. I do not want to announce a regular commitment before trying it. My plan has to fit this: I usually have more time in the morning.

Alexandr Čermáková, that sounds more doable. I would leave the second date undecided too. I would like to try something similar where I am. Would you mind comparing what needs adapting?

I can work with that distinction. With fermentation, I am just starting. That would be useful. We should compare the conditions instead of assuming the same arrangement works in both places.

I would also like to make weekday lunches less repetitive. I have tried making a little space for fermentation; the difficult part was keeping the session small enough to repeat.

Jonathan Gilmore, that gives us two related aims to compare. I would like to reduce food waste with a useful leftovers routine. One thing I should say upfront: I usually have more time in the morning.

For this wish, Alexandr Čermáková: Would a YouTube explanation help, or would a short written note be easier to follow?

For this wish, Jonathan Gilmore: I would choose the format around the actual question. A video is not automatically clearer, and I would want the essential information available in words too.

I think the company is the part I would keep, even if the rest changed. For my own plan, I share my free time with family responsibilities.

On “Find a workable first step for fermentation”, that helps me separate the purpose from the details. I can alter the activity without losing the reason for wanting to meet. The help I would value is someone interested in swapping family recipes.
