G’day tooters. It’s currently about 16-17c but it feels cooler, we’re heading to a top of 27c & it is very overcast. No rain forecast & I can’t see it on the radar either, but it has that feel about the day. Very quiet & still outside too - even the birds are quiet after their noisy dawn chorus. I was awake in the predawn just on 6am having had another good sleep - there really is nothing quite like your own bed. Touch wood 
it continues because it’s wonderful when I’m sleeping well.
My sourdough had risen beautifully overnight, so I’ve dealt with that & put it in the banneton basket. It’s now in the fridge, settling & resting. I’ve decided to leave it until tomorrow morning before I bake it. I decanted my kefir before bed last night as it had done its thing & it’s back in the cupboard working its magic again & the drink is in the fridge for later today.
Wishing everyone a lovely #Thursday, stay safe out there

What's your #morningroutine?
Regardless of when I wake up, I stay in bed 'til 7am. I then strain my #kefir. Feed my #sourdoughstarter. Check my other #ferments. Feed the #dog and take him out to pee. Eat oatmeal with chia and flax seeds, banana and fermented apples. Drink a cup of kefir. Do my #duolingo. Hop on the #bike. Shower, get dressed and then out the door to run errands.
Yo, how do you make sure not to get #botulism when making flavored oils? I have some #fir needles that I straight up stole from a privately owned forest and I want to put them in some oil and then spray it all over my food like a maniac. But I don't want to be killed by some little stupid #bacteria. All the boring websites say either get ph-value of below 4,6 or get some salt, which makes sense for #ferments or get 121°c for 3 min if #canning. But what about in oil? It is #anaerobic, so risky
What...‽ You can even ferment legumes‽‽

Kefir, ginger bug, sourdough starter, sauerkraut, lacto-fermented apples. #ferments #fermentstodon #lactofermentation
My #kefirgrains are happy and healthy AF and now I have too much to know what to do with them all. #kefir #ferments #fermentationproblems #fermentation
Apple was helping his mother bake bread for the first time.
He watched as she mixed flour, sugar, water, yeast. She kneaded the dough, and then let him try.
‘That’s it. Press it down with one hand and then the other. The you can mush it together.’
A few minutes later she said that was enough. It was time to let the bread prove.
‘How does the dough rise?’ Apple asked.
‘Well, the yeast #ferments from the sugar.’
Apple looked puzzled.
‘The yeast eats the sugar and lets out gas. The gas makes the dough rise.’
‘Bread rises from yeast farts?!’ Apple was thrilled.
No sé si hay por aquí a estas horas alguien a quien pueda interesarle, pero finalmente he escrito sobre el #kéfir en mi blog. ¡Espero que os aclare alguna duda!
#Sunchoke #fermentation #recipe continues apace. Inspired by #kimchi— it’s sunchoke leaves, carrots, scallions, and some seaweed to keep it vegan but still a little fishy.
The paste is chili, garlic, ginger, and some stinky bob for a little cilantroyness. It released a lot more liquid than I expected! But the sunchoke leaves definitely shrunk down. Now it’s in the crock; I’ll check in on it in a week!
Me pregunto cómo estará el primer chucrut que he hecho en mi vida. Lleva 18 horas fermentando y se veía así cuando lo dejé en el mueble. Espero que no sea muy problemático que haya parte de col sobresaliendo (a parte de las hojas para presionar hacia abajo), pero no lo pude prensar mejor. 
In locales in the higher latitudes during Cold seasons that don't enjoy direct fossil fuel subsidized provisions of fresh veggies... fermented vegetables are a really important source of vegetable nutrition.
Folks living in higher latitudes and using primitive outdoor toilet facilities might recognize the functional relationship between nutrition and minimizing body heat loss. For an example, take the patterned practice of eating lots of fermented cabbage during the cold season.
Tonight we ate some #sauerkraut that I made this fall. If I die, y’all know why. Because I’m totally an #amateur #fermenter 
Also apparently fermenting is way safer than #canning and #botulism is crazy rare in #ferments? Hope so!
#introduction - hi everyone!
brand new to this, traditionally a lurker rather than a sharer but maybe that’ll change!
my things are #plants, #mushrooms, #ferments, #sourdough, #kitchenscience - anything to do with #mould or #fungi is my jam 
if that sounds like you then come say hi!
My interests at the moment include #Running #Runningpunks #Couchto5k #HilaryMantel serious doses of #DIY #renovations and #ferments
