Questions
Before you start
Do I need any experience?
None at all. This kit is built for a first-ever ferment — the guided plan walks you through every step, and most people have a finished jar within two weeks.
Is the Madre app really free with this?
Yes. The access card unlocks the matched plan for this kit at no cost and with no subscription. Madre is our partner; we simply include the guidance with the provisions.
Do I need anything else to start?
Just cabbage and salt from any grocery store. Everything reusable is in the box, and the app guides you from first shred to finished jar.
Can I reuse the kit for other ferments?
Absolutely. The jar, weights and tamper work for kimchi, pickles, curtido and most vegetable ferments — extra lids, weights and airlocks are always in the shop.
