FermentLog

Why This is an Opportunity

The fermentation hobby community is massive, passionate, and currently using terrible tools. This is a simple CRUD app with beautiful data viz that would spread like wildfire in subreddits like r/fermentation, r/kombucha, and r/mead.

Key Pain Points

  • You made the best hot sauce of your life six months ago and can't remember exactly what you did differently
  • Tracking temperature and pH over a 3-week ferment in a notebook is chaotic and you lose the notebook
  • You want to share your process with the community but screenshotting your Notes app is embarrassing
  • Comparing two batches to figure out why one was amazing and one was vinegar is basically impossible

Original Discovery

Home fermenters (kombucha, sourdough, hot sauce, kimchi, mead — it's a whole world) obsessively track their batches in random notebooks and Notes app entries. FermentLog is a gorgeous batch tracker where you log ingredients, temperatures, pH, tasting notes, and photos over time. Compare batches side-by-side, clone your best recipes, and share your fermentation timeline as a public page.
