The information on Old School Ferments is for educational and informational purposes only.
I share what I’ve learned through years of home fermenting — including recipes, methods, and safety practices — but I’m not a doctor, nutritionist, or food safety certifier.
While every effort is made to ensure accuracy, fermentation involves living microorganisms and natural variables. Conditions in your kitchen may differ, and results can vary. Always use your best judgment, keep your workspace clean, and discard anything that smells or looks unsafe.
By using this site, you agree that you are responsible for your own food preparation and consumption.
Old School Ferments and its owner, Dusty Smith, assume no liability for any injury, illness, or loss that may occur from applying information or recipes found here.
Any product links or recommendations are based on personal use and preference. If affiliate links are used, I may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you — which helps keep this site running.
When in doubt, consult your local food safety authority or extension service before consuming homemade fermented foods.
