Using the NOMA ideas I created a specialized scoby to make a ginger spiced kombucha. I started out with what was a small quart sized ginger bug inocculated with a healthy dose of starter from my pellicle hotel. I added a lot of ginger to that and a cup of black tea. I let that work for a month and a half, almost 2 months. I then brewed a ginger spiced tea with a couple of bags of decaf black and a half cup of sugar. Plus spices cinnamon, allspice and star anise. It reminds me of chai spices but with a sharp ginger bite. Its sour and sweet and spicy. It might be one of the better kombucha batches I've made. If you want to make experimental booch read NOMA. The SCOBY is resilient and will survive a lot. #fermentstuff #fermentedlife #fuckyeahferments #foodie #urbanoasis #citysteading #cityfarm #foodporn

Scorpion peppers, garlic, thyme, and inoculation brine. I'll be adding a bunch of Maine wild blueberries and brine. It'll ferment for awhile. I suspect it will be good on chicken. The smell of the chilis, garlic and thyme is amazing. I'm tempted to pick up a few more peppers from this guy and make an herbed chili garlic sauce. #fermentedlife #fermentstuff #citysteading #urbanoasis #foodporn #lactofermentation #citysteading #cityfarm #fuckyeahferments

Raspberry reaper mole sauce. Headed off to the fermentation shelf where it will sit for weeks. 5% brine. Took a taste and my mouth is still burning, but pleasantly. When it's done this will be delicious but fiery. The cinnamon and cocoa are really nice with the sweet sourness of the red raspberries. 2 reapers and 2 Moraga. The heat lingers. Using a sanitized and salted cupcake liner to keep the sauce from growing kahms yeast. #fermentstuff #fermentedlife #fuckyeahferments #urbanoasis #foodporn #lactofermentation #citysteading

Waste not want not. A ferment made up of the cores of the apples I made my apple butter with. I added a lemon and its zest, plus ginger and spices and some sugar. I added a ginger bug to get it fermenting. I did add a bit of Nottingham ale yeast to the ginger bug to push it toward yeast and not LAB. #fermentstuff #fermentedlife #fuckyeahferments #urbanoasis #foodporn #citysteading

Plum mead. The base of this is 3lb commercial plums and 2lb wildflower honey and the juice and zest of one meyer lemon plus safale yeast. After this ferments for a week or two I'll pull the commercial plums and add plums from my dad's farm for their flavor. They'll go into a mesh bag for easier removal. The taste of the must is delightful, but too sweet. #fermentedlife #fermentstuff #citysteading #urbanoasis #foodporn #inmymouth #brewferment

Bottling some kombucha. Using this old 2 gal water dispenser to mix the kombucha a juice rather than putting a little bit into each bottle much better and way easier. #fermentstuff #fermentedlife #fuckyeahferments #foodie #urbanoasis #citysteading #cityfarm #foodporn

I've never felt so seen... by an algorithm. All these small woodstove are dirt cheap, in my area and perfect for heating a small home with wood. If I only had the money for one and a space to put it. Sigh.

My basic Halloween pumpkin spiced ghost pepper hot sauce finally has positive pressure from fermentation. It took 2 days for the ferment to get going. I was a bit worried about it. The thai hab hot sauce is looking really good. The kombucha is ready to bottle tomorrow night. Let's hope the idiot dogs don't interrupt my sleep tonight. #fermentstuff #fermentedlife #fuckyeahferments #urbanoasis #foodporn #lactofermentation #citysteading
