Things I ferment at home

Updated: July 5, 2026

Kimchi

One large gallon jar filled with kimchi that's in the process of fermenting and a smaller one about 1/3rd the size that's also filled with kimchi. A gallon jar of kombucha also sits on the counter.

Recipes

Tapey

Tapey is rice wine that’s made in the Mountain Province in the Philippines. I enjoyed drinking this, and it has a similar taste to makgeolli which I also love.

A glass jar filled with brown rice sitting on the counter and waiting for the rice to ferment into rice wine. Beside it is a jar of kombucha as well that's being fermented.

Recipes

A glass container with cooked rice that's already dusted with bubod. It's ready to go into fermentation.

Making more bubod

I wasn’t successful making tapey with the yeast balls that I got online, so I’m attempting to make more with my last remaining bubod by following this tutorial.
