[foodhackingbase] Introduction and Question

[Kai Du]

I now tried some kombucha straight from the jar and it is really 
delicous! I harvested the rest and mixed the kombucha with some honey to 
receive a fizzy drink, which I guess I prefer.

I tried to make my own soy sauce some time ago and I wondered, if 
anybody would be interested. I wrote some blog articles about my 
experiment in German. I would shorten and translate it to English, if 
you like. It was a wild fermentation and the results I found quite 
interesting.
