The name Happyblob comes from the mix of our initials, H & B, and the “blob” (a.k.a. the pellicle) that forms across the top of the container during fermentation. If you’ve never seen one, it looks a bit like a thick fried egg and has the texture of a very chewy candy. Yes, you can eat it. Yes, I’ve tried it. No, it’s not my favourite.
