... ********** Did you use whey, or did you just use a salt brine? Whey has been known to produce mushy results. Salt brines usually are not a problem if you...
I know what you mean about whey and I try to stay away from it whenever possible. I don't remember adding any whey (I guess I should keep notes), but probably...
Storage is "supposed" to be done at 32-50F. So you are on the edge. Personally, I don't like adding brine. But, Heidi has been successful with brine, so that...
Hi all, I'm a new member and fairly new to making fermented foods. I picked up "Nourishing Traditions" about two months ago and I've been trying to make some...
Hi and welcome. You seem to be doing brilliantly. I find recipes are exhausting and nailbiting first time around and then suddenly somehow get easier. It's as...

I am sooo glad you posted this!! I also did that recipe and was overwhelmed with bread, felt it was too dense and the crust too hard. I also used glass...
Ok, I don't have your recipe but I do make sour dough regularly and it is sooo easy. I have been making my own bread using my wheat grinder to get fresh flour...
Lisa, Your thrills and chills adventure with fish sauce is not at all off topic in my opinion. It's always great to hear people's stories, especially in...
Well, there is nothing like the perverse thrill of watching someone react to something you have already judged to be good or bad. With that said, I get just...
Hi there, I have been lurking but have not posted yet. I love all things fermented, veggies, breads, beverages,etc. and hope to learn lots more from this...
The BEST root beer I've made was when I followed the directions on some root beer extract. I made it for my wedding. It was wonderful! When I've tried to make...
AWWW my dear friend Cathy from TN.... I've done sourdough breads before. One I did was so sweet it was more like sweet bread. The bread that is being...
It's worth mentioning that in the old books, where people were "catching" wild yeast, not all the yeast tasted the same. In fact one article I read said...
I'm a bit concerned that making sourdough seems to be a monumental task. I make sourdough bread every day and it takes me about 5 mins to make rye and 12 to...
