If you’re on the look out for interesting things to do in Melbourne that are also good for your health, your search is over. Take fun fermentation classes or pickling classes in Melbourne and enjoy the benefits of your new fermenting skills.
Fermentation can cover a wide range of processes. Kefir, kombucha, and kimchi have made waves in recent years for their pro-health benefits, but they’ve been around for thousands of years. There are other forms of fermentation, like pickling, bread-making, and alcohol-brewing, that have been popular in Western cultures for generations. They all have one thing in common: live cultures. If you want to learn more about this fascinating process, you’ll love a fermentation class.
With the wide range of ClassBento classes, you can take the best fermentation classes in Melbourne. This is a skill that should be taught by people who have been doing this for years, which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the best fermentation teachers in Melbourne to help you navigate this microscopic world.
Fermentation is an exact and precise science, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t many different ways to do it. You can take a kombucha class to learn how to make fermented kombucha tea with a kombucha scoby. You can learn how to make water kefir, you can learn how to pickle vegetables. You can explore the world of pickled foods with fermented cabbage, fermented beetroot, and other fermented vegetables. You can even try your hand at alcoholic fermentation with a fun beer fermentation class. Whatever class you choose, you’ll learn how to care for live cultures to make the fermentation process successful.
These fermentation classes and pickling classes may not be the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of fun things to do in Melbourne this weekend, but you’ll soon realise why these classes are making everyone’s list of top 10 things to do in Melbourne. They’re great Melbourne workshops for groups of friends, and they make excellent experience gifts in Melbourne for your health-conscious loved ones.
In a fermentation class, you’ll learn useful information about the different kinds of fermentation processes. Your fermentation teacher will walk you through the basics of yeast fermentation, how to care for a scoby, the nuances of alcoholic fermentation, or any other fundamental information that you need to get started. Then, you’ll get the chance to ask questions, try your hand at pickling or preserving, and even take some materials with you to keep the process going at home.
Health benefits of fermentation and pickling
You’ve probably heard of some of the health benefits of introducing the best probiotic live cultures into your diet. And with the knowledge of how to ferment your own foods at home, you’ll notice the difference in how you feel physically and mentally as you go on the fermentation journey.
Custom classes
Want to learn or experience something specific? You can easily contact our teachers and arrange a custom workshop at your preferred time and to suit your skill level.
If you’re looking for a unique and memorable event these workshops are perfect things to do with friends on the weekend, for aged care groups, team building exercises, indoor things to do, and kids weekend activities. We've got a range of teachers who cater specifically to larger events, and we can customise classes to meet your needs. Get in touch today and we'll put something together for you.
