These Lacto-Fermented Green Beans that I pickled for about 8 days are soooooooo good!... and probiotic... I didn't know if Green Beans would make good pickles because I've never seen them sold in stores... I'll definitely make more.

S.C.O.B.Y. or as my Mom calls it, "Pancake". Just finished a batch of Kombucha and making a new batch.

About 3 weeks ago, I threw away my old Kombucha SCOBY because I was having trouble with it and getting bad batches... I bought a new (wider) one-gallon jar and started from scratch... I grew this new SCOBY from a bottle of store-bought plain Kombucha adde

Made four bottles of Kombucha: Ginger, Blueberry, Apple Ginger and Mango... They're going to second ferment for a few days to get bubbly...
joeysplanting:
Kombucha is finished brewing so I started two new half gallon batches... and made a bottle each of Blueberry, Mango and Ginger Kombucha with the finished brew.
joeysplanting:
My Cauliflower Pickles and Kimchikraut turn out so good... especially the Kimchikraut... I have to make some more soon because these will not last long!
joeysplanting:
My last batch of Kombucha went bad and moldy for some reason... but luckily, the backup Kombucha Hotel I made had two healthy SCOBYs... So I made two half-gallon batches with each one. I also took some of the tea from the Hotel and bottled it with crushed

After finishing making the Lacto-Fermented Cauliflower Pickles, I had the stems and a few florets left, so I chopped those up and julienned some Carrots to make a Cauli-Brocco-flower Slaw.

Just made another quart of Beet Kvass, but this time using Red Beets. I really like the first batch that I made with Golden Beets. It was hard to describe the taste, but as I drank a little this morning, it reminded me of V8. I love V8! This will brew for

My very first batch of Golden Beet Kvass is done brewing and ready to chill in the refrigerator. I tasted it and I like it. It's not what I expected it to taste like, but it's good. If you like Beets, you should like this because it's very Beety and sligh

When they say Water Kefir Grains (Tibicos) grow rapidly, they aren't kidding. Within a week, my initial batch has multipled by about 4 (see older post a week ago)... and I now have more than I need.

My first batch of Water Kefir has fermented for 2 days at room temperature and seems really happy feeding on the sugar water, raisins and lemon. It's hard to see, but there are a bunch of bubbles. I'm taking the solution and bottling it with some fresh Ki
