#homebrew #lactofermentation

Nukatsuke. A Japanese traditional way of indirect pickling. Wet, salty bran is lacto-fermented for four weeks until very sour. Then fresh vegetables can be buried in the Nukadoko for 1-2 hours to get freshly and crispy, thus sour-salty snacks.

Eating good things #homemade tonight, I can almost make a sentence only with hashtags : it's #tartar steak with #lactofermentation veggies (carrots and green beans) and #sourdoughbread and #meringues (but not ready in time). It was really good, the bread was amazing, though it's a long time I didn't make normal bread (not like the brioche like usual Sunday bread)

After the rousing success of #sauerkraut-in-a-bag, I decided to try #lactofermentation carrots-in-a-bag. It's only been a couple hours, but it's already bubbling away. (it did get a jump start from a little sauerkraut juice)

Oui c'est le mois d'août mais c'est aussi une météo bien trop froide alors let's go pour la choucroute du mois d'août, que j'ai intelligemment baptisé la "choucr'août" ! #faitmaison #choucroute #lactofermentation

Getting back in the swing of things. The jars left to right are tomatillo-jalepeno salsa, blueberries, red onion, and dill-szechuan pickles--all lacto ferments.

Time to make sauerkraut! (vertical photo)

What is #lactofermentation ? Why should you care? https://johnicarney.medium.com/put-your-bacteria-to-work-c26521529a70 #fermentation

#lactofermentation pickles done! I couldn't wait to eat so I took photos a bit late.

Got some pickling cucumbers at the farmers market yesterday. They'll #ferment for about a week. #lactofermentation

Bought these colorful mini peppers at Costco #today and I'm #fermenting them. I first got started in #fermentation by making hot sauce; these are *not* hot peppers, but they should be good as a snack, in salads, and what have you. #lactofermentation

I got a mess of nice, firm pickling cukes in a produce box last week, so decided to ferment them. One jar destined to be 5-7 day half-sours, and the majority in a kimchi vessel intended to go a few weeks longer.

I was out of grape leaves, but figured maybe this time the freshness of the cukes would be enough...

Nope. Another fail. Mush. I can ferment pretty much everything but cucumbers. 😭

We hauled out my grandfather's apple wood #sauerkraut stomper today and it gave me all the feels about why I love using vintage/antique #kitchenalia and #handtools.

It's made from wood trimmed from trees on his #AnnapolisValley, #NovaScotia farm, and has been used for #krautmaking for several decades. He passed along his knowledge of how to make kraut and, when he died, my grandmother passed along his stomper.

@ptec3d That's quite the mission statement, but one I believe is shared by many (myself included). Further: it's a mission statement that we'll all have to adopt if we want a liveable planet.

Not sure what I have to offer at this moment, except words of support...

I despise the throwaway culture which has been imposed upon us by Big Business/Big Packaging/Big Oil, and I firmly believe wasting food is a crime against humanity. As such, I've taught myself a bit about preserving food - specifically #lactofermentation and #dehydration - in a small effort to keep my fruits/vegies from just feeding the lorikeets, or simply rotting where they fall. It is a practice that only benefits me and a few friends & family members, but sharing my limited knowledge and experience with others *might* be useful in the bigger picture? It's all stuff you can find on the internet anyway, so the offer is possibly redundant.

Anyway, those are my thoughts for now. Stay tuned: I might have more.

Cheers!

C'est parti pour 3 heures.

Toot me if you happen to share any of these niche interests:
1. #lactofermentation: From authentic sauerkraut & preserved lemon to #kimchi gimjang & a 5-year miso. What can I say? I really enjoy #foodscience.😀
2. #animalrescue, #feralcatrescue, #tnr, community outreach/education programs: Advocacy work in conjunction with shelters & related rescue orgs on behalf of feral furry friends who need spaying/neutering + medical care.
3. #homeimprovement #productengineering (no more room to write 🤣)

@snarkysteff I had a few Fresnos left over after putting together this batch of giardiniera, so a small batch of fermented chilis for me.
