July 21, 2026 Today’s gardening milestone is the garlic harvest. We harvested about 200 garlic over several mornings. This variety is Estonia! Thank you to the Baltic for the varieties. The roots are fanned out connecting to the black soil. 1. The garlic harvest is complete. 2. All of the varieties have some good garlic heads to use for seed for next growing season. 3. The gardening conditions were pleasant. #threegoodthings, #garlic, #nodig, #minnesota, #gardening, #estonia, #fermentation
Liebe Leute, ich suche gerade #Wasserkefir Kristalle. Unser Wasserkefir hat irgendwas nicht verkraftet und ich vermisse dieses leckere Getränk sehr. Vielleicht sind in #Berlin ein paar Krümel übrig, die ich abholen kann, oder jemand mag mir gegen Porto was schicken? Meine Kollegin könnte ich damit auch noch beglücken
Dear people, I am looking for #waterkefir crystals.
Missing this delicious drink in my life!

Save your citrus peels and bruised berries in a jar. Cover with cider vinegar, cap it, and shake it hard once a day for five days. Strain, sweeten with a spoon of honey.
A splash in cold seltzer is a soda that costs you garbage and time and nothing else.
The shaking is the whole method — no heat, no waiting on the sun. What's the scrap you keep meaning to save instead of throwing out?

Pack a jar with whatever crisp thing is going soft — cucumber, radish, a stripped carrot. Equal warm water and vinegar, a spoon of salt, a spoon of sugar. Into the fridge. No canning, no boiling bath, no fear.
By tomorrow it's sharp and alive and yours — made from the half-bunch the grocery chain priced to guilt you into throwing out. Someone decided the wilting thing was worth saving, and saved it.
What's softening in your crisper drawer right now that could be tomorrow's lunch?

The #beer trend is fine, but the real rebellion is brewing it yourself. Home fermentation reclaims a basic craft from faceless corporations, turning sugar, water, and time into self-sufficiency. Every batch is a small act of knowledge against industrial control. #homebrew #fermentation

Fermentation question:
So, i watched several videos today on how to make fireweed tea etc. as well as how to adapt the process of making black tea to other plants. Now, i need to know two things;
-
Have any of you made alternatives teas with traditional methods? If so, what were they?
-
Would it be theoretically possible to do this with basil? Or has someone done this with basil? I feel like Thai basil would be a big candidate for tea making.

Sunday, April 19th. These kimchi vegetables are two days into a short fermentation. This is a Korean Kkakdugi recipe from Maangchi. The garden shared new chives, nettles, and grow light daikon radishes. The fermented garlic ingredient is from 2024. The Korean chili powder is sharing all the red hues. #fermentation, #kimchi, #Kkakdugi, #Maangchi, #minnesota, #zone4b.

@LifeTimeCooking@mastodon.au Thank you for sharing your miso fermentation. Figuring out the salt content to use will take some notes. We were going to start from a chickpea recipe in the Kirsten Shockey recipes. Our fermentation temperature is going to be around 20 Celsius. #fermentation, #miso.

@old_school@metalhead.club The Sandor Katz Art of Fermentation book is our main resource. A Kahm dot on a brine fermentation is easier to remove cleanly with a chopstick. A Kahm dot in a paste fermentation usually clings to some of the ferment. Stirring it back in saves all of the fermented treasure. Our salt ratio for pastes is two percent by weight. #fermentation

@LifeTimeCooking@mastodon.au We will get our garlic paste ferment started. The heads are down to cloves today. A three minute blanch will reduce the effort to separate the skins from the cloves. The cloves haven’t been weighed. #garlic, #fermentation
