Fermentation has always been a part of my life.
Growing up, my Japanese mother fed us all sorts of fermented foods and extolled their health benefits. When the opportunity arose to work with Microsoft on an IoT product for the kitchen environment, I knew there'd be magic when fermentation is paired with technology.
How might we help health-conscious DIY'ers integrate and use technology to ferment better?
How can we design a Kombucha brewing cap/bottle that monitors and regulates Co2?
