Sure, just so it is covered with liquid. I had one strain that did that now and then. The drink was the same, but if it happens often, maybe the jar has been...
Greetings, I've just discovered this site, and appreciate all it has to offer. Kombucha and kefir, I've been making for some time now, but I'm very new to...
If you know that she has serious dairy allergies then whey might well be the cause. You probably know about the gluten free/casein free diet for autism? Some...
... I have children who are sensitive to dairy. I use regular kefir grains to ferment things like apple juice or coconut milk. (These don't survive and I...
Hi Everyone, I fermented beets for the time this past Saturday close to midnight ... yes, this is the kind of thing I do when I can't sleep:) ... and by Monday...
Hello, My assumption of the cause is your beet was well ripen and full of sugar it could get. And probably yeasts were rich in population and temperature was...
Your oozing is because they are fermenting. I learned the hard way to make sure I left more than 1 inch head space, placed the jars where I could see them in...
Thank you, Sally and Suzanne, for your responses. I will gather information on the GFCF diet for myself and my daughter-in-law, and proceed with extreme...
You can ferment veggies without whey (or kefir) just using salt and the little lactobacillae that are all around us. I would try straight fermentation without...
What Sally said. I make fermented vegies a lot and have heard the experiences of many others. There are some that use whey, or a starter, and love it. Some of...
You can use Ball jars to ferment foods (I do) but it is a very, very bad idea to put the lids on tight. They will ooze, or worse, explode. It's happened. I use...
I've been reading Heather's web pages on making sauerkraut and I notice that she is very keen on wilting the cabbage first. I've just started my second batch...
Like many things it's a matter of personal preference, and what you are using it for. It sounds like you identified your own and answered your own question. ...
I should probably clarify: The cabbage I buy is rather fresh. I wilt it *on purpose* using salt/vinegar, because wilting it first makes crunchier kraut. That...
I was wondering if any one here had tried yerba mate and what was your thoughts. Do you use the bombilli or the gourd or what do you do...am just trying to...
I like mate quite a bit and drink it pretty regularly. It is supposed to be high in antioxiudents and is, to me, more stimulating than regular balck tea. Some...
I myself do not like mate, I drank some when I was in Argentina, the argentinians put so much mate in the gourd to me it was strong and sweet, but I guess it...
heather, do u put the salt and vinegar over the whole cabbage or cut it up some? don't want to get it wrong. thanks, diana -- "Let the beauty we love be what...
So would say the only thing about it that helps is the antioxidents...is that like in tea? I thought that it was different...I wonder if it would work in...
antioxidents would be good but do not have a clue about yerba mate kumbucha. if you go to this web site http://www.happyherbalist.com/herbal_teas.htm it gives...
Ronni, Really enjoy my Yerba mate tried it for my adrenals so went in knowing that what ever it tasted like would drink it anyway, was pleased with the taste....
For kraut I often buy the sliced cabbage from Costco ... a huge bag costs $4 or so, and it is sold to businesses for cole slaw. Anyway, I toss it with vinegar...
Heather, I'm almost shocked. But then again we all have our own ways and priorities to content with. I suppose, at least, you are using a raw vinegar, and that...
Yerba Mate works great in Kombucha. I used 1/2 green tea and 1/2 Yerba Mate a lot. I fon't remember where I saw it suggested, but I tried it and it's great. ...
Mate is great! It definitely is an acquired taste, but man oh man it will grow on you. In fact I am having some right now. There is a lot of information...
Hi, I was wondering if anyone here has made koji using brown rice instead of white rice. would like to know if that works or not. I have made it using white...
... Shocked, eh? I suppose I could tell you I grow all my cabbage in a greenhouse made of pure glass, insulated from the mercury/etc that might be falling from...
I actually love the idea of buying precut cabbage cheaply, and I really do applaud what you are doing. Most folks probably aren't purists nor can afford to be....
Thanks! I was feeling a bit defensive and that likely came across ... My ideal, also, is that people can grow their own vegies, or at least someone near them...
