Was idly looking at Christmas presents and saw a book about Fermentation from NOMA restaurant which I thought would be good for my foodie brother, but then I realised I also quite wanted it.
Does anyone here ferment anything at home? Kimchi? Kombucha? Got a good sourdough starter on the go?
I guess we could widen this to include smoking foods and cheese-making, if we’re desperate. This is not, repeat NOT, a homebrew thread, though references to homebrew are allowed.
My landlady is always doing stuff but really badly. Never properly sterilising and always attracting flies. Fair play though cause she’s got some weird fruit thing going in the kitchen at the moment with no lid on any I’ve not seen a single fly or wiggly looking thing
Put 2oz flour 2oz Water in a pot - cover LOOSELY with lid
Next day - add same and stir
Next day - add same and stir
Next day - add same and stir (should be seeing some bubbles now)
etc
Once it’s going you can stick it in the fridge when not in use but it will likely take a couple of days feeding to get it back to full strength.
