"That feeling"

[Sherpa]

When you are trying a new fermentation experiment and you have no idea what exactly to expect along the way and you keep wondering "hmm is this ok? is this how its supposed to be?" is strangely one of my favorite parts of the process, especially when you find out that everything went smoothly in the end. Our ancestors who developed these methods had even less to go on, in many cases their results were delicious mistakes. My oh my how wonderful this world we are a part of is and oh how blessed we are to be participating in it!

Good point, Sherpa, I never thought of it that way. I find the process to be a bit scary and nerve-wracking, especially when it comes to that first taste, but there is definitely a sense of excitement and accomplishment when things turn out the way I hoped.
