Fermentation

[Deleted User]

General Thread for all kinds fermented fruits , Sauerkraut , Pickled , Hot Sauces , etc. I mostly made this thread to talk about Kombucha / Jun .

I like adding champagne yeast and making it more alcoholic


So I've recently got into Kombucha to lay off drinking beer .I decided to start brewing to save money and because I can't find what I like to drink at a reasonable price.
{quick run down of the process}

I started with a gallon jar that I quickly out grew.

. After using a bunch of artificial sweeteners like the big brewers do I think I prefer to use regular sugar tbh . I've also started fermenting other things like kvass of all kinds ( bread , beet, berry )
the longer you toast the bread the darker the drink will be , I accidentally burnt the one on the left lol

Also making jun which is the same as kombucha but instead of sugar and black tea its honey and green tea , its alright needs to be mixed in with other things it just tastes like sour honey to be honest.

this is all my old setups I use bigger and better jars , and tools now.

One of these days, I like to make some mead and sake at home. when it comes to alcohol drinks, I like something that’s sweet and flavory
