25.01.2022 There’s a rainbow of veggies @harvest_launceston this morning, just perfect for pickling and fermentation. Carrots, beets, cabbage, cauliflower... all are great fun to ferment at home. While you a here, why not also enjoy a kimchi pancake from Korean Pancakes or a Reuben full of sauerkraut and melty cheese from @meatbreadcheese Not only are they both warming winter treats, but studies are showing that fermented cabbage is great for boosting immunity. .... . . #veggies #carrots #cabbage #kimchi #sauerkraut #fermentation #fermented #fermentedfood #tasmania #tasmanian #buysomethingtasmanian #fermentas #fermentationtransforms See more

22.01.2022 Is there a better breakfast on the run that coffee & a pastry?* What’s your favourite breakfast pastry? * Bonus fact: both coffee beans AND dough rely on fermentation to make them taste delicious....

22.01.2022 Asia is home to a whole world of fermented grain that we’ve barely scratched the surface of this week. Tasmania is, however, home to our very own miso & koji makers, Meru Miso. Chris & Meagan’s first week in Tassie was also the week that FermenTasmania launches, so we feel very connected to their journey. Their business is going from strength to strength even during Covid. They make an amazing range of fermented goodies available online and around the country. It’s also wort...h checking out their website and social media for tips on adding umami - the mysterious fifth flavour - to your cooking. #grain #rice #miso #koji #Tasmania #tassiestyle #Tasmanian #buysomethingtasmanian #fermentation #fermentedfoods #fermented #fermentas #fermentationtransforms @ Tasmania

22.01.2022 Introducing you to our hardworking colleagues. Years ago I bought 2 tablespoons of these mystical crystals, and it was love at first taste. Back then I never im...agined where we would be today with 100's of kilos of these microscopic buddies multiplied from that first batch! These little beings of antiquated lineage have the ability to transform the ordinary into something much more: a sparkling probiotic elixir. With some nurturing they do this tirelessly, and we at Love Your Guts contibute to the dance, becoming an integral part of the process. The world is very different from that of our forebears, and our lives have become increasingly busy with little time left for traditional, oldschool nourishment. Gone are the days of when we grew our own food, long days filled with planting, harvesting, preserving, fermenting and at the end sharing a well-prepared meal and perhaps listening to stories told by our elders. It's wonderful when we're able to find a bit of the old world that fits into our busy lives, and for us, kefir is that something - a probiotic drink that offers something for everyone. Cheers to our microorganism friends and old-world magic! See more

21.01.2022 Do you like a bit of sparkle? We love a glass of fizz with sparkle. We even love a knockout sparkly frock. Mostly, we love the sparkle you see inside of people. Curly Haslam-Coates from @vintagetasmania is full of sparkle, inside and out. Better yet, she helps other realise their own sparkle and encourages us to spot it in people of all shapes and sizes. This is why she’s a finalist for this year’s Champion of Diversity & Equity in the Australian Women in Wine Awards.... Want to return the favour and cheer her on? Join us @breadandbuttertasmania on Tuesday, November 24th as we live stream the awards. Don’t forget to frock up & sparkle for your chance to win a @bellebonnetas Sparkling Rosé.

21.01.2022 It’s National Family Business Day. Many of us know that family business can be testing but it’s also incredibly rewarding... and fun! But did you also know: 70% of Australian businesses are family businesses.... 50% of Australians are employed by a family business The best way to celebrate #NFBD20 is to buy something from a family business you love. @chatto_wines @van_dieman @familybusinessaustralia #tasmania #buysomethingtasmanian #foodbusiness #familybusiness #fermentas #fermentationtransforms

20.01.2022 How are you celebrating Christmas? We’re quite taken by these festive sourdough delights by @30minutefoodie ... #christmas #festivefood #sourdough #baking #fermentation #fermentationtransforms #fermentas

19.01.2022 WE NEED YOU! Are you a Tasmanian fermentation business? Would you like to take your taste of Tassie to the world without leaving your desk? Thanks to the support of the Tasmanian Government Trade Team, we are working on a free online platform to take your business, products and stories to all the markets you can’t visit at the moment. You will hear more about this exciting project in the new year, but meanwhile we want to hear from you. If you are interested, and are not on o...ur database, please send us a message so we can keep you updated. And if you know a Tasmanian fermentation business that needs to be celebrated on a global stage, please tag them or get them to contact us. Cheers, Team FermenTas #tasmania #tasmanian #buysomethingtasmanian #fermentation #foodbusiness #fermentas #fermentationtransforms

19.01.2022 We are thinking about all our friends and colleagues in lock down again. We love this thought from Sharon at TheFermentary: ‘Don’t shove your feelings down or put on a happy face to make other people comfortable. A good wallow works in two ways: it gives you time to process what’s happening and also, I believe, it helps you move through it faster.’... Keep an eye on their page for their online Ferment Together events. We’ll also share them here, so please let us know about any events you have coming up too.

17.01.2022 Always look on the bright cider life. This week we are celebrating all things fermented fruit. There is some obvious deliciousness here - wine, cider, liqueurs and spirits. But maybe you’ll also discover something you haven’t thought about - olives, cashew cheese, tibicos, and more... @williesmithscider ... . . . #fruit #wine #cider #tibicos #waterkefir #fermentedfruit #lactofermentation #Tasmania #tassiestyle #Tasmanian #buysomethingTasmanian #fermentation #fermentas #fermentationtransforms See more

16.01.2022 Fire was the first force of nature harnessed for cooking. Yeast was the second. So why does the myth persist that Indigenous Australians didn’t use fermentation? In Tasmania, at trawtha makuminya (big river country in Tasmania’s central plateau) we are still talking about one of the oldest fermented drinks in the world - wayalinah, the fermented sap of Eucalyptus gunnii.... @uniofadelaide have been studying the microflora in its sap and have found unique species of yeast. These ferment a drink that tastes like nothing else in the world, yet still has a distinct ‘cider-like’ quality. This taste is why European settlers named these trees Cider Gums. You can read more about wayalinah in @maxallendrinks latest book, Intoxicating: Ten Drinks that Shaped Australia. We’ve also put a link to an @abcnews_au story on his visit in our bio. @gettyimages & @abcnews_au #naidocweek #naidoc2020 #tasmania #tasmanian #fermentation #fermented #fermentationtranaforms #fermentas

15.01.2022 Feeling the cold this winter? Fire yourself up with some Tasmanian whisky. Sixty-five percent of the character of whisky comes from the time it spends in the barrel, so where it sits is quite important, and the quality of the barrel, says Bill Lark. But it also seems that here in Tasmania we have a greater diurnal temperature range and seasonal variation, and what that means is the whisky is moving in and out of the charcoal layer of the barrel more frequently; that helps ...in the cleaning of the whisky, making it richer and smoother. So this combination of the barley and the climate produces a distinct flavour, a Tasmanian whisky flavour, sort of like the terroir that you would talk about with wine.

15.01.2022 ‘Farmhouse brewing has always been something that kinda just existed, rules and regulations and corporate tax breaks be damned. In fact, from the beginning of time, all beer was in a way, farmhouse ale. You took the ingredients you grew, you created the beer where you could.’ ~ Aaron Goldfarb in October. In Tasmania, we have two brewers who exemplify the craft of #growingbeer taking the grain from ground to glass. Two Metre Tall and Van Dieman Brewing are both passionate farmhouse brewers who like doing the unexpected and the extraordinary. And, in true farming style, they are also training the next generation of Tassie brewers in the process.

14.01.2022 It’s been another big news week from the year that keeps on giving. So we think the most important question is, what are you drinking this Friday?* @newnorfolkdistillery ... #2020 #rum #tasmania #tasmanian #buysomethingtasmanian #fermentation #fermented #fermentationtransforms #fermentas * Note: we’d like to be enjoying a New Norfolk Distillery rum or two, but we’re actually drinking coffee!

14.01.2022 What is the potential of our Australian native grains? We know that, being indigenous to our land, they are suited to our environment and that they taste great. Now, a new study from the University of Sydney has also shown that they could be economically viable commercial crops. "We know these grains are edible they taste delicious we know that they grow well, we know environmentally and culturally, they are very significant," study leader Dr Angela Pattison said. "[We ar...e] not just looking at nutrition or at the agronomy. What we have to do is look at it from paddock all the way through to the plate."

13.01.2022 It’s #nationalrecyclingweek and we’ve been talking about one of our favourite topics: how we recycle food waste. Australia makes around 7.3 million tonnes of food waste each year. That’s about 300kg per person, and represents 5% of our greenhouse gas emissions. But what if we harnessed fermentation to recycle it? We can use food waste to make new foods & drinks, nutricuticals and isolated compounds and even green energy.... This week we joined @bioenergyaustralia to talk about Tasmania’s bioenergy future. We are particularly excited to be including an anaerobic biodigestor in our Fermentation Hub site to turn our waste into green energy & fertiliser. Does this interest you? Get in touch and we would love to talk more about the opportunities for our industry. #tasmania #greenenergy #biodigestor #fermentation #fermentationtransforms #fermentas @theohiostateuniversity

11.01.2022 Love stollen but not on such friendly terms with gluten? If you are in Devonport tonight, you are in for a festive fermented treat.

09.01.2022 You know that fermentation makes our food more delicious and more nutritious, if for no other reason than we keep telling you. But what if we told you that fermentation has a secret superpower?? Yes, that’s right - fermentation can also help us fight food waste. Whether it’s turning seconds veggies into kimchi, waste cherries into cider or whey into bioenergy, fermentation is an integral part of creating a circular economy.... One of our favourite stories comes from Endangered Distilling Co. who are turning waste bread into premium vodka. So don’t feed the ducks, drink up instead.

04.01.2022 "It seemed I was a mite of sediment That waited for the bottom to ferment So I could catch a bubble in ascent. I rode up on one till the bubble burst, And when ...that left me to sink back reversed I was no worse off than I was at first. I'd catch another bubble if I waited. The thing was to get now and then elated. - Robert Frost, In A Glass of Cider We’re joining FermenTasmania and Harvest Launceston in celebrating all things fermented this month. Each week delves into a different theme, and this week it's FRUIT! Rich in natural sugars, fruit provides the ultimate food for microorganisms and bacteria that transform it into new flavours and fun. The Apple Isle that is our island state famously ferments apples into award winning, incredible ciders. Tipples like Surges Bay Orchard organic SBO ciders, Plenty Cider contemporary Derwent Valley drops or Lost Pippin traditional varieties (you can find them through the Drive-Thru!). Our cold climate fermented grape juice is word famous, and our resident vignerons and winemakers Bream Creek Wines and Quiet Mutiny are helping to proudly fly the flag in Bacchus's honour. Coffee is transformed into our everyday saving grace from fruit to extracted bean with the help of a complex fermentation process - at Farmy you'll find South Roast Coffee (Cubed espresso) and Tasmanian Coffee Roasters (Clique Coffee Roasters, again available through the Drive-Thru!) And, don't forget about olives from the lovely Lauriston Grove, or fruity fermented fizz from Wagtails Kombucha (also available to order online)! Next week we'll be exploring 'VEGIES'.... !
