You're welcome. While the recipe is ok, the story leading up to it refers oddly to a pro-dairy story. I skimmed it and don't see anything on fermented...
Thanks for your suggestions, John. I will try doing it this way. I am always up for experimenting! I guess I am a bit confused about your comment about...
Sorry to be missing in action. I had problems with my ISP for awhile. Anyway, my second batch of millet rejuvelac bubbled just a little at first, but then...

I live in New York City and it can get very hot here. I do make kimchi all summer in my unairconditioned kitchen, and don't have any problems. I haven't...
It's a great idea, but you might need to fiddle with the temperature adjustment and see if you can keep it warm enough or if you are going to have to wire in a...

I haven't tried kimchi in the summer but sauerkraut get a bit mushy if its fermented to warm. I fill my 2 gallon harsh crock every 6 weeks but there is rarely...
Sounds great then. If I had the money/space I'd do it for sure. Right now where we've moved to is such that I can do ferments year-round without an issue....
Usually, all you need is a tub of water. Water is an amazing element. It doesn't have to be a BIG tub of water, just enough to hold what you are fermenting. I...

... Kefir is a good source of B12 when the milk used is a good source of B12. Kefir can, by chance, synthesise B12, depending greatly on what bacterial spp are...
Yeah! If you have room, old refers are great. It costs money to recycle them (getting rid of the freon) so people are happy to give them away. Sometimes they...
Hi Ross, I am familiar with the first two sources and understand that there are no plant sources of b-12. Before you worry--I take a supplement. I was...

Thanks for the information, Ross. I have heard people claim that eating fermented foods either provided one with B-12 or made gut conditions for absorbing B-12...
