I have awesome friends. Someone sent me a copy of The Art of Fermentation. Pretty much the bible for fermenting. I've read it via the library but you know I'm gonna add marginalia all through this bad boy. #friends #fermentedlife #fuckyeahferments #foodie

Look at the change in that color!!! It is almost all pink and the liquid is a gorgeous shade of magenta. #fermentedlife #sauerkraut #citysteading #cityfarm #fuckyeahferments

Five 100g balls of pasta. This is the semolina. The semolina blend worked much easier but the 00 dough was silky smooth. Now for the tasting. #citysteading #urbanoasis #foodporn

Egg pasta. Left is with 00 flour. Right is 50:50 semolina and all purpose. These will rest for an hour. Then both into fettuccine. The 00 flour required extra water to come together. 400g flour, 4 eggs, splash of EVOO, and a tsp of salt. #urbanoasis #foodporn #citysteading

Pretty layers. #fermentedlife #sauerkraut #lactofermentation

Still active. About a pint of the juice off my last batch of sauerkraut. I'll add 1/4 c of this to each of my lacto-ferments today and it'll get those all active and happy and making great delicious food. Sauerkraut, carrots, and ginger carrots. I want to try to make lacto-fermented onions too, but today will just be pickle solution. Nom nom nom. #fermentedlife #urbanoasis #citysteading #brew #activecultures

I racked the hydromel last night and the clarity has improved greatly. You can't see.it.in this.image but the clarity is at the bottom of the label. It is clear and.golden colored. I tested the ABV and it is just over 12%. Testing was green and rocket fuel like, very harsh. As it aired off the gates it mellowed a bit, but I suspect this won't be ready to drink until November. #fermentedlife #homebrew #mead #citysteading #urbanoasis

A little over a pound of fresh currants washed and stemmed ready to partially freeze for juicing These will go into some of tomorrow's #kombucha also plan on juicing some ginger to add in some.of the bottles as well. We'll see how that compares to other versions I've made. #fermentedlife

Tomorrow's kombucha! Testing out a white peony sample we had laying about. Smells strongly of flowers. Added 2 decaf black tea bags for added tannins. Suspect this is going to be a winner. #kombucha #homebrew #tea #fermentedlife #urbanoasis

I might be feeling pretty miserable with poison oak right now but stoked for new tea. Picked up a new rooibos/roobois to make #kombucha this brand smells great, less harsh than the last. Gonna make a cup to drink first then make the booch. @evelinetimeless it is spelled right!

The blackberries I planted were mislabeled!!! They are black raspberries!!! So delicious. Gone before this pic posted. The other berries are white currants.qhen ripe they have subtle blush. Milder then red or black currants. Delightful. #urbanoasis #citysteading #cityfarm I need to isolate them and move them to a better location!!!

In a few days my currants will be dead ripe and ready to flavor a batch of kombucha. Not enough yet for mead. But there will be in the future. Staked the white currants and found a branch hidden under some grass and ivy loaded with fruit. Gorgeous. #urbanoasis #citysteading #cityfarm

Might be the best #kombucha #homebrew flavor ever. Lakewood black cherry juice and lime juice. The roobois is out of this world and the puerh is delightful. Can't wait to try the decaf. #inmymouth #noms #fuckyeah #citysteading #urbanoasis

Farming kombucha. #kombucha #homebrew #citysteading puerh always ferments up like this. Tasty AF. one of my faves for kombucha.

A little fuzzy, but you can see the difference in the colors of a fresh batch of roobois with a fermented batch. Massive color shift. Super tasty. #kombucha #homebrew #citysteading flavored with black cherry juice and lime juice.

Small 2.5g carboy and two 1 gal glass jugs, plus a large 5 g carboy and a 6 g bucket, cooker, hoses, and other supplies. Mead making will happen. Might go with flip top bottles instead of wine bottles. And I might try some in beer bottles. Looking forward.to small batch brewing.
