## Description

This MCP server provides precise biological modeling for fermentation processes. Use `calculate_ferment_schedule` to determine primary fermentation duration and target pH based on ambient temperature. Use `calculate_salt_requirement` to find the exact mass of salt needed for your substrate, and `estimate_shelf_life` to predict stability in cold storage based on final pH levels.

## Tools

### calculate_ferment_schedule


### calculate_salt_requirement
Determines exact mass of salt needed

### estimate_shelf_life
Predicts stability in cold storage

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How long will it take to ferment sauerkraut at 22 degrees Celsius?
```

**Response:** 
```
At 22°C, the primary fermentation for sauerkraut typically takes 3 to 5 days.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I have 1000g of cabbage. How much salt do I need for a 2.5% concentration?
```

**Response:** 
```
You will need 25 grams of salt for 1000 grams of cabbage at a 2.5% concentration.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Will my kimchi stay stable for 3 months in a 4°C refrigerator if the pH is 4.0?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, with a pH of 4.0 and storage at 4°C, the kimchi is expected to remain stable for 3 months.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I know when my sauerkraut is ready?**
You can use the `calculate_ferment_schedule` tool to find the expected duration. Once the target pH is reached, the fermentation is complete.

**How much salt do I need for my vegetables?**
The `calculate_salt_requirement` tool calculates the exact mass of salt needed based on your substrate weight and desired concentration.

**Can I predict how long my ferment will last in the fridge?**
Yes, the `estimate_shelf_life` tool predicts stability in cold storage using the final pH and storage temperature.
