We ferment stuff!

What do we do at FermU?

At FermU, we ferment various products for the section’s events and its members. Most commonly, we brew kombucha, bake sourdough, and make yogurts in different flavors, but we also have plenty of room to experiment and get creative. Within the committee, we also host events, such as beer brewing courses where participants can learn more about fermentation.

The committee is led by the Ferminator, the master of the committee who oversees the daily work. Supporting them is the Vice Ferminator. In addition to the master duo, there are seven committee members called Microbes. As a committee member, you get to learn a lot about fermentation and experiment with different recipes together with a wonderful group. This committee is perfect for anyone interested in fermentation and who enjoys trying new things. No previous experience is required, just a willingness to learn and to spread joy to the section through fermentation!

Ferminator

As the Ferminator, I am responsible for carrying out the Microbes’ ideas and ambitions within the committee. FermU is one of the section’s newest committees, which means the members have a lot of creative freedom. I make sure the Microbes get their fermentation dreams fulfilled and delegate tasks among them whenever we have projects underway.

As Ferminator, I handle budgeting, operational planning, lead weekly lunch meetings, delegate responsibilities within the committee, and manage a large part of the overall planning. Supporting me in this is my Vice Ferminator, who acts as my right hand. As Ferminator, I also serve on the The Committee Council.

Vice-Ferminator

As Vice Ferminator, it’s important to act as a bridge between the Ferminator and the microbes. In this role, I do what’s required of me and make sure everyone’s voice is heard. As Vice Ferminator, it’s important to be attentive and help where needed, and I also work more internally within the committee, for example with internal events.

Microbe

As Microbes, we handle the hands-on work in the committee. We are also the ones coming up with ideas and thoughts for our next fermentation projects, the sky's the limit! We bake sourdough, brew kombucha, and test new recipes together with the rest of FermU. No prior experience is needed, we learn from each other (but mostly from the Ferminator)!
