Ferment the
Unexpected.
One person, a garage floor in Vilnius and a hydrometer. Fruit wine, mead and cider — measured, written down and published, including the batches that failed.
What is in the archive
Every batch with its own readings, and next to them the tools that help decide what to do with the next one.
Coming to the channel
Slow, detailed episodes about what happens inside the demijohn — each one built on a real batch from the diary.
Recipes from the diary
Measured, written down and tasted. With the real numbers — and with the batches that did not work.
The archive is the point. A failed batch with its reason written under it is worth more than a photograph of a full bottle.
