In this virtual workshop you will learn to make your own vinegar with award-winning author Kirsten K. Shockey (Check out her website here: Ferment Works  and instagram: @KirstenShockey and @thefermentationschool ).  Kirsten will lead you through a few different techniques from basic apple cider vinegar to vinegars where the herbs are fermented during the vinegar fermentation for a deeper infusion. Grab the supplies listed below and make a starter in the comfort of your own kitchen.
