... OK Ross, I'll buy that! Now that I have a good gluten-free beer available I can use it to wash down these oddities. Redbridge is available at our corner ...
... Trust the man, I agree that red wine helps most things slip down rather well, although I must say that my first encounter with thousand year eggs was...
I tried to get an answer in the kefir_making group, but haven't had much luck getting the beast to respond to my questions. Anyone here know the answer to...
Hi Jasmine, I must have had my kefir grains for a few years now. And they have pretty much been dormant. I simply leave them in whole raw cows milk in the...
Monika, Wow, thanks! This makes me feel much more confident about the whole endeavour. I was really wondering how anyone went anywhere if they were a kefir...
Hi- I came across this lovely recipe whilst writing a piece on Indian Food Bloggers for India Abroad, and just wanted to share it.. hope you enjoy! ... mangoes...
I keep coming across worrying news from the Mayo Clinic about Kombucha. Here is one mention of it in their 2003 newsletter, where they say it might be toxic to...
I've looked in the files, but cannot find an answer to my question. I made some pickled cukes (basically using Sally Fallon's recipe) with garlic and fennel...
As tempting as it might be to reuse the brine, it may or may not work. The thing is, ferments actually pass through several phases, and if you just add ...
IIRC I think it's been discussed off and on, if not here then on the NT list. I think the consensus was that it is a very chemically active ferment, almost a...
Both of the types of kefir grains are bacteria, and they do know how to go dormant. I had a jar of kefir I was mailing to someone during the summer, when it...
This recipe is similar to some pickles that I like to make. For my version I don't use sugar but do add oil and crushed black cardamom pods.. Richard ... From:...
... Whilst I agree with Monika that they can actually survive well in the fridge for weeks, my kefir grains travel with me when I'm away for that long... :-) ...
Nice one, Jasmine! This is exactly what my wife has been hassling me for recently :-) The comments about the pile of sugar yet lack of sweetness, plus the ...
Hi Heather, Thanks for your insight :-) It doesn't taste overly salty, so I can add more salt. Now you've given me an idea to use the leftover brine, I'll try...
Oh thank you for posting that! I just tried it, and even fresh, it is AMAZING. I have some sitting out in the sun now, to see how it ages. I didn't have...
I made some pickles raw apple cider vinegar for a quick tart sweet fresh taste. There was also garlic, spices, grape leaf, sea salt, agave. I poured some...
Hi, I've never made kefir and would like to try. I live in CT and was wondering if anyone can share either water or cow's milk kefir with me. I'm not sure I...
If all microbe action stopped in the fridge, you'd never have spoiled food ... cold temps slow down ferments, but they don't stop it. Some ferments are ...
I have been with this group for awhile but i do not think I have posted. I am interested in making tempeh using frozen tempeh as a starter. Does anyone have...
G'day Angela, ... You might want to try this list, there's at least one person from CT: http://www.torontoadvisors.com/Kefir/kefir-list.php -- Ross McKay,...
... G'day, I think you'll have some trouble there as most frozen tempeh has also been pasteurised. However, if you can find some that isn't, then look for the...
I just made my first batch of fermented pickles today. I followed a recipe from Making Sauerkraut by Klaus Kaufmann. In the recipe it said to boil the salted...
It's better to cool it first: if it is too hot it will cook the pickles, plus it might kill the bacteria in/on the pickle skin. Though I'm not sure exactly...
Hi GB, I would not recommend using frozen tempeh for making a new batch. Firstly unless the mold has produced spores, then the mycelium will more than likely...
I just made my first batch of kombucha. It fermented for a week. I put the old mother & a couple of cups of kt in a zip-top bag & put it in the fridge & am...
Hi Stephanie, I would have put the old mother back in the jar with the new baby. The new baby was probably thin, and it's Mom would have helped it to do a...
Why bother rinsing mamma off if she was stored in her own brew? My own Kombucha is strong and powerful stuff. I leave the mamma and the baby together till it...
