A quiet, aromatic Sunday evening gathering for those obsessed with the invisible work of microbes. We are meeting near Koriat Kuchenmanufaktur to trade active starters, troubleshoot sticky hydration issues, and discuss the peculiar patience required for a proper Berlin rye. It is an informal exchange of jarred life forms and baker’s logic. Like most NoPlans meetups, we start with high hopes and a loose schedule, treating the 8:00 PM start time as a suggestion rather than a mandate. We are here for the shared smell of yeast and the reality of a Sunday night well-spent before the Monday morning rush.
