Re: Fermentation support thread :D
So my beet kvass is suppose to be ready today so I just tasted it and it seemed watery-not strong enough. I wonder if it's either I didn't use big enough beets or if it needs to go longer than two days....

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
sub, I need to start more ferments. I need stuff Isaac will eat/drink. I can get goat's milk tomorrow. I have water kefir grains coming Sat. so I can hopefully make fermented coconut cream...and I'm hoping it is good.

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
Finally coming back to this thread! I just got a copy of Wild Fermentation.
I've been trying to figure out how to make kefir from coconut milk. Do I buy milk grains or water grains? I'm worried about the cow's milk residue on milk grains... (I'd like to try with goat's milk eventually, but I'm not sure yet if the baby can tolerate me drinking goat's milk.) |

in this picture he has milk grains. You can rinse them really well with filtered water. But I think water grains would work, too, but you might need to add fruit. Water grains need fructose, I think. I'm not an expert on water kefir by any means. |

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
I'd love to hear how it goes. Strangely pickled herrring was one of my favorite snacks as a child, actually I liked it as an adult too but I've never ever seen it sold in Virginia anywhere.

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
Today I got a whole bunch of blueberries and peaches from the farm market. A lot of them we will just eat or freeze but I'm hoping to try some fermentation too. I think I will go ahead and get some whey from some yogurt - my DDs are not really reacting to dairy any more I'm still trying to avoid it for the most part but it might be worthy of experimentation.
I want to try the berry preserves if I can get the appropriate kind of pectin. http://gnowfglins.com/2011/07/08/fer...rry-preserves/ I'd really like to make some sort of peach butter, I'm iffy on making peach chutney, I am the only one in my family who will eat chutney and I only eat it on curry, which I never make because no one else will eat curry either I checked Nourishing Traditions and am googling but not coming up with much besides chutney for peaches though.

In post 89 I have a recipe for fermented apricot butter, I bet you could use peaches, just skip the soaking.

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
my family made all kinds of fermented fish, but i'm too scared plus ours was fresh out of the lake and i'm afraid to do it with something from the store. i adore pickled herring and also the dried fermented fish we make. caribbean salt fish is good too.

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
I started a batch of pickles yesterday - the "bubbies" recipe someone linked to a while back. I didn't have enough for a full batch of cukes, so I threw some squash from my garden in there too.
By this morning, the jar had already overflowed and leaked onto the counter. I squished my grape leaves down and let some of the trapped gasses escape. Trapped gasses is good, yes?
