This is something that is gaining great popularitiy and resurgence again, but there are many strains of cultures that have dissappeared or are hovering on the brink of extinction.

Home made sourdough bread, beers, pickles, keffir, relishes and other items top this list.  Please share any of your favorite recipes here or sources for where to get ancient cultures.

I have been culturing my own keifer for about a year now. When I get tier of it I put it in the refrigerator and let it sit. Or I freeze the grain until I need them again.
I have also been culturing my own Kombucha. It is pretty easy too. I started it with a bottle of kombucha drink that I bought at the health food store.
A good place for more info is www.gemcultures.com. They sell kiefer grains and other fermation culturs.
