Yeast balls are they easy to buy.

Yes and no. Yes when you find them they're about $4 for 6 and the buying process is similar to other things.
No they're not the easiest thing to find. I couldn't find them anywhere online, just check a few Asian food stores and ask for yeast balls for making rice wine. There's no way I could have found them by just walking around the shop.

It's called "the art of fermentation" great read, it covers heaps of different foods that can be fermented for flavor and nutrition. Definitely worth a look.
