the fermented drinks
semester
The Fermented Drinks Semester is a comprehensive, five-part course in mastering beverage fermentation. Kombucha, water kefir, milk kefir, and ginger bug sodas—these fermented beverages are time-tested, probiotic, naturally carbonated, and great for gut health.
in five information-packed lessons, you'll learn everything you need to confidently make vibrant, healthy fermented beverages!
The Fermented Drinks semester is all about removing the guesswork from fermentation, helping you master the processes behind kombucha, water kefir, and more. Our goal is to help you confidently create safe, beneficial, and absolutely delicious fermented drinks right in your own home kitchen.
Our course breaks down each beverage into easy-to-follow lessons and topics. With each lesson, you’ll gain a new appreciation for the microbes that work their magic and ferment fruits, juices, and sugars into nourishing beverages.
Have you ever wondered why some of your kombuchas explode out of the bottle or why your ginger bug soda came out flat? You may be unsure if your milk kefir is safe for your kids.
If you’ve ever felt uncertain or unsafe about making fermented drinks at home, you are not alone! This course gives you all the skills and tools you need to control fermentation outcomes (and feel good about it!).
Store-bought fermented drinks are costly. Just one 16-ounce bottle of kombucha is $5!
By joining The Fermented Drinks Semester, you’ll gain lifetime skills and knowledge to craft these drinks. Making these beverages at home gives you control over ingredient quality and the fermentation process at a fraction of the cost.
Fermentation can feel intimidating. Maybe you’ve tried before and found inconsistencies, and you don’t have time to troubleshoot. Perhaps you don’t want to waste money on ingredients because you haven’t been able to guarantee good results.
The Fermented Drinks Semester will teach you everything you need to know to get consistent, healthy results every time.
You also get one-on-one email support from Kaitlynn, so you can ask specific questions, send pictures of your projects, and get help with any of your fermented beverage creations!
this course is for those who want to nourish themselves and loved ones with vibrant, probiotic-rich homemade beverages. Whether you’re a complete beginner or you’ve been experimenting with fermentation for a while.
If you’re ready to eliminate the uncertainty, save money, and embrace traditional methods, The Fermented Drinks Semester will provide you with the support and knowledge you need to succeed.

hey future fermenter
Hi, I’m Kaitlynn! I’m a microbiologist with a BSc in Microbiology from LSU and certification in Food Safety and Preventive Controls. My passion lies in food microbiology, gut health, and the fantastic world of fermentation.
With years of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of microbial ecosystems, I’m here to make the science of fermentation approachable, accessible, and empowering for you.
Along with my husband, Jon, we operated a commercial fermented foods company for 7 years. We fermented vegetables in American white oak barrels and supplied prestigious stores such as Whole Foods Market. Ironically, during that time, I was called in the opposite direction— to teach fermentation, so people don’t have to buy.
My mission here is to teach you everything I know about fermentation. All nourishing food is, in one way or another, connected to microbes. In this space, you’ll learn to adopt a holistic perspective on the microbial ecosystems that influence our food, lives, and the planet.
