Our cultured community members share their experiences with Kraut Source!
If you'd like to tell us your story, please email email@example.com
Kraut Source is truly unique. It's definitely my go-to fermenting device. It's aesthetically pleasing, so you can have your ferments out in a visible place without them looking like mad science experiments.
Sean Timberlake, Punk Domestics
My husband and I use anything and everything from our extensive home garden. Since Kraut Source has come into our home, we're eating fermented foods daily and feeling the results. My husband and I both feel more energetic, clear, more trimmed and less bloated, and generally more "clean" from the inside out! Quality/craft store-bought ferments are quite pricey, so the initial cost of purchasing the system has more than paid off. We're very happy with our investment!
Deanna T, Instagram follower
My family and I live an almost zero-waste lifestyle so making healthy food at home is a big part of our life. Kraut Source is a staple in our kitchen and the two units we have are in constant use and proudly displayed on our countertop. I'm so glad I'm now able to have fermented foods in my family's diet every single day.
Elisa Sheehan, graphic designer, painter, and mom
I wanted to learn more about the fermentation process and creating a healthier diet. I feel that the sealing process that Kraut Source provides really supports the fermentation process and the spring-loaded press allows for easy submersion of the food being fermented. Our family loves Kraut Source and all that it has done to change our diet.
Justin van Westen, Instagram follower
Fermented foods have made a comeback in the mainstream marketplace recently. I've noticed that many of these "specialty" items carry a hefty price tag. With Kraut Source, I make my own ferments at a fraction of the cost with fresh, organic, and seasonal veggies from my local farmer's market. Kraut Source makes fermentation accessible and approachable to both the novice and accomplished cook.
Karen Pavone, blogger/photographer of Farminista's Feast
Kraut Source is sturdy, durable, and not made of plastic that bends and cracks over time. My primary use is for the fermentation classes I teach. I want every student who leaves my class to be set up for fermentation success. Students are excited to get such a beautiful piece of equipment. No one ever has any issues with their ferments!
Stacey Clinesmith, Your Beeting Heart
We've been following Kraut Source since the crowdfunding days. We have three Kraut Sources at home because we can tear through a lot of kraut in a couple days. We also love the minimalist, recycled, and conscientious packaging. We look forward to sharing Kraut Source with all Canadians!
Dani Smythe, owner of Crop Food Growing Revolution
I loved the idea of being able to make kimchi, pickles, sauerkraut, and other fermented foods in small batches at home. I love how easy Kraut Source is to use, and how you can make smaller or bigger batches just by varying your jar size. It takes the risk out of fermenting foods, but retains all of the health benefits.
Rik Panganiban, self-proclaimed kimchi addict
As a culinary nutritionist in Toronto and author of Fermenting for Dummies, I had to get a Kraut Source. I love red cabbage for a beautiful purple kraut that I can put on anything!
Marni Wasserman, Culinary Nutritionist
I love the efficient spring-loaded weight, elegant design, and the low profile. But my favorite part has to be the little tink sound the unit makes as CO2 escapes--not only is it adorable, it also tells me my ferment is active. I now have FOUR for making sauerkraut, curtido, kimchi, and new pickles!
Nicole Novak, Instagram follower
Fuss-free fermenting! Won't need to worry about molding or messing up. Stainless steel is solid quality and the plantable insert is creative and sustainable packaging. Most genius idea ever!
Hailey Zhou, UC Berkeley student and the Pickle Princess Kombucha Kween
I've always loved cooking healthy food and experimenting with new ideas. Some friends gave me samples of their sauerkraut they made using Kraut Source. I never liked sauerkraut before but this was so good. Everything was colorful and delicious!
Debbie Harald, creative cook

We had a lot of Whoppers left over from our sister Stephanie's wedding. She had a huge candy buffet bar at her reception that turned out so cute. We love Whoppers and wanted to find a great way to use them in a recipe. We came across this Whoppers blondie recipe that you will just love. Bet you can't eat just one!
Whoppers Blondie Bars Recipe
2 1/3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons malted milk powder (optional)
1 1/2 sticks (14 tablespoons) butter, room temperature cut into cubes
1 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, light or dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup Whoppers, coarsely chopped
1 cup chocolate chips, semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
3/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter.
2. In a medium bowl whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and malted milk powder together.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until completely combined. Scrape down the bowl, add the eggs and vanilla, and beat until combined. (This can also be beaten by hand if you don't have a stand mixer)
4. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture one half at a time and beat until combined. Add in the malted milk balls, chocolate chips and nuts and beat until just combined, about 10 seconds. The batter will be very thick.
5. Turn the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. (damp fingers may help spread it around)
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted come out clean.
7. Let blondies cool for about 20 minutes before cutting and serving. They are delicious served warm or at room temperature. Makes about 20 blondies.

The Three Man Alliance was formed in 1121.
Inciting Incidents Edit
Following a series of minor squabbles in court, the Scorpion dispatched the tactician, Bayushi Tomaru to deal with the Sparrow Clan. Tomaru was caught off guard when his army was opposed by the Sparrow, aided by Wasp archers and Fox shugenja. Forced to retreat, [1] Tomaru was later publicly rebuked by the Scorpion Clan Champion Bayushi Shoju. The site of the battle is known as Mitsu Otoko Rengo Heigen. [2]
Aftermath Edit
The Wasp Clan daimyo proposed an alliance amoung their three clans to prevent the Crane or Scorpion from attacking each other through the lands and routes in the territory of the three clans. [2]
Date code Edit
Sparrow Clan used a modified calendar based upon the year of their founding. It was not uncommon for the other members of the Three Man Alliance to use it, particularly the Fox. The Tsuruchi use it some as well, although not as often as they once did. [3]
Fall of the Alliance Edit
During the Clan War the Mantis Clan Champion, Yoritomo, summoned the leaders of Three Man Alliance, Suzume Yugoki, son of the Sparrow Clan Champion, Ryosei from the Fox, and Tsuruchi from the Wasp. Yugoki made no objection when the other leaders joined the Yoritomo's Alliance, but the scarcity of bushi within the Sparrow Clan forced Yugoki to stand aside. [4]

Seven hundred Sainsbury's staff were at the five-star Celtic Manor Resort near Newport on Thursday night.
Police called to the hotel in the early hours of Friday made one arrest.
A Sainsbury's spokeswoman said the problems involved a "small number" and it was "extremely concerned by the reports," which would be investigated.
"We will fully investigate the incident and take appropriate action against staff, where necessary."
It is believed that supermarket managers and staff from across the UK were at the hotel for a retail awards champagne reception and dinner.
Breach of the peace
A spokeswoman for Gwent Police confirmed its officers were called to the Celtic Manor in the early hours of Friday morning.
One person was arrested in connection with a breach of the peace, she said.
Following reports of drunken behaviour at the event, the supermarket group promised an investigation.
Sainsbury's' spokeswoman said 700 people attended the event and that the problems were caused by "a small number of people".
The Celtic Manor Resort will host golf's Ryder Cup, one of the world's biggest sporting events, in September 2010.
A spokesman for the hotel confirmed there were "incidents" there on Thursday evening and Friday morning.
He would not comment on how much damage there was to the hotel, but said: "The incident has been dealt with and I can't comment further as this would break the confidentiality agreement we have with our clients.

Korrio – ISN Stars of Coaching – December 2013
January 3, 2014
Matthew Driver is arguably one of America's brightest soccer minds. He is regarded as an innovator with a creative spirit and a deep respect for the game and its traditions. Driver has devoted his life to the sport and has contributed to the careers of players from all walks of soccer life. He has been involved in every capacity, from coaching to management to marketing and administration, in addition to serving as a well-known author, tactician, and presenter.
"I was told at a very young age that I would be more successful as a coach than I would be as professional player," Driver recalled. "I showed great promise as a player and displayed great leadership, but I decided if I wanted to continue my lifelong love affair with the game and continue to make an impact, I would have to go into coaching. It was at that time that I began to immerse myself in learning from clubs, federations, methodologies, and coaches all over the world in order to help shape my coaching philosophy."

Description: Beautiful essays by Fanny Howe, a poet praised for her "private quest through the metaphysical universe . . . the results are startling and honest" (The New York Times Book Review) Fanny Howe's richly contemplativeThe Winter Sunis a collection of essays on childhood, language, and meaning by one of America's most original contemporary poets. Through a collage of reflections on people, places, and times that have been part of her life, Howe shows the origins and requirements of "a vocation that has no name." She finds proof of this in the lives of othersJacques Lusseyran, who, though blind, wrote about his inner vision, surviving inside a concentration camp during World War II; the Scottish nun Sara Grant and Abbe Dubois, both of whom lived extensively in India where their vocation led them; the English novelists Antonia White and Emily Bronte; and the fifth-century philosopher and poet Bharthari. With interludes referring to her own place and situation, Howe makes this book into a Progress rather than a memoir. The Winter Sundisplays the same power as found in her highly praised collection of essays,The Wedding Dress, a book described by James Carroll as an "unflinching but exhilarating look at real religion, the American desolation, a woman's life, and, always, the redemption of literature."

text: A buddy of mine told me about Lime and Sulfur for fungus on tree's and shrubs. I have a peach tree that is damaged by leaf spot. The fruits are twisted and the leaves have many black spots all over them. The customer wants to save these tree's. What is the best procedure to use when applying an organic fungicide such as Lime and Sulfur? Should it be applied with an organic oil such as Natur'l Oil or just alone? How many times should you apply a product like this to be most affective? Also, I have seen a lot of apple tree's and other leafy bush's like Amelanchia Grandafloria "spelling," having like a blister. Looks red on one side and then almost like a pimple looking blister on the other side. These blister's are usually yellow. In general if the plant was planted correctly what could be done to help these plants using natural products? I have recently ordered from Groworganic.com, Neem soap, Hexan, Natur'l Oil, Cold pressed Kelp, Fossilized sea dust, Lime and Sulfur, and Hemp gloves ~ Any techniques that can be shared to optimize the use of these products would help.
