Journal of the Institue of Brewing Open Access 2012 and earlier) – Journal of the Institute of Brewing. Journal of Fermentation Technology Open Access. Technical but might be helpful. Directory of Open Access Journals Open Access to a lot of On-Line Journals. Using the search function is crude but easiest. National Center for Biotechnology Information Some Open Access. This provides info on US government-funded papers that are supposed to be public access but there are still kinks. It doesn’t have as many fermentation articles as one might like but it’s helpful. You can set up an automatic search and alert. Japan Science and Technology Information Aggregator A Lot of Open Access. A lot in Japanese but still a Lot of Good Stuff that You Can’t Find Elsewhere. Also, just because a journal is behind a pay-wall doesn’t mean, usually, that you can’t take a look at the abstract for it. If you find a couple of articles that you’re interested in, then your state library or state university library may be able to help you get a copy of the article. Brewing & Fermentation Textbooks - CRC Press The CRC Press has a number of very good (and expensive) books on fermentation. You may not be able to afford them but you might be able to borrow them through inter-library loan. Rate us on iTunes. Thanks for your support!

Branden is joined by the authors of Fermented Vegetables. Kirsten and Christopher Shockey have been fermenting at home, and commercially, for a long time and their experience shines in their new book featuring sixty-four vegetables and herbs in krauts, kimchis, brined pickles, chutneys, relishes, and pastas. Even if you have been fermenting vegetables for years, be sure to listen in for tips on using leafy greens and herbs (fermented shiso leaves are delicious) and more.
