Sauerkraut for Beginners
2024-04-24 18:00 - 19:30 | Make Hamilton, 69-71 Argyle Street, Birkenhead, CH41 6LQ, United Kingdom
Fermentation has been around for centuries, and it has certainly been making a comeback these past few years. However, it can sometimes seem a bit daunting and there is a common misconception that making ferments from scratch should be limited to seasoned fermenters and experienced chefs.
This workshop aims to make fermentation accessible to all, so that you can confidently start your own projects at home. We’ll cover the basics of lacto-fermentation, learn about health & safety measures, and end with a little tasting session exploring various ferments made with local or foraged produce.
You will make and take home your own unique jar of sauerkraut, and get to experiment with different flavours using herbs and seeds (foraged or grown on-site). You will also receive an information booklet with all the information you need to start your own lacto-ferments at home.
Fermentation is a healthy and creative way to add more veg into your diet. It is also a fantastic way to capture seasonal flavours.

About the Teacher
Diane is a classically-trained pastry chef, now making sourdough bread at Fika+ (Chester), and working on the field at Cheshire Market Gardens. Passionate about sustainability, she makes a point of using locally-grown produce as much as possible, often turning to foraging & fermenting to minimise waste and use ingredients to their full potential.

You may know how important honey bees are for pollinating food crops and the environment, but you may not know about the amazing life of bees in their hive. In this short course you will gain insight into the life of a honey bee colony, and understand what beekeeping involves.
During this workshop you will learn in a hands-on way about the life of a honey bee colony, exploring the ins and outs of a hive and running through the stages of hive activity through the year. A demonstration hive will allow you to also experience the textures and smells of the inside of a hive.
We will talk through the equipment needed to keep bees, and for those who are thinking about it, talk through steps to keeping your own bees.
After refreshments, we will be pulling on protective bee gear, and gaining some hands on experience with the Make Hamilton bee hives. You will have the opportunity to hold a frame of live bees, and gain confidence in handling a colony.
Through the session, we will talk about the products from the hive, and you will have the chance to experience these including honey combs and extracted wax. Each person will leave with a jar of our Hamilton Honey!
The session is led by John, who started keeping bees over 15 years ago, and is responsible for looking after the hives at Make Hamilton.
The session is very interactive and will respond to the questions and interests of participants.
All equipment/ potective bee suits will be provided, but please come wearing long sleeved tops, full length trousers and closed shoes (i.e. no sandals).

John started keeping bees over 15 years ago, and is responsible for looking after the hives at Make Hamilton, as well as other hives across the Liverpool City Region. John harvests our Hamilton Honey which you can find in the cafe at Make Hamilton.
