Ferment Crock
Hobbyweight 1tracker · keeps what you put in
Fermentation is farming for people with one shelf, and every jar has its own opinion about schedule. The Ferment Crock tracks each batch — kimchi, kraut, kombucha, hot sauce, miso, or Experiment — with its start date, days in, and a bubbling report that runs from Quiet to Alarming. It remembers when everything went in so you can decide when it comes out.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here — go on, put something in it.

Questions people ask
How do I keep track of multiple ferments at once?
Each batch gets its own entry with the kind of ferment, when it started, how many days it has been going, and how vigorously it is bubbling. Six jars, six entries, no guessing which one is the old kraut.
Is my fermentation log private, and does it work without internet?
Yes and yes. It is a single HTML file running offline in your browser — no account, no cloud, nothing leaves the page. Your hot sauce experiments answer to no one.
What does the bubbling status mean in a ferment tracker?
It is a simple scale of what you observe: Quiet, Promising, Vigorous, or Alarming. It will not tell you what to do about Alarming, but it will tell you when it started.
