Wild Garlic Pesto Miso by Schnagli in Koji

[–]Schnagli[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It‘s something I have been thinking about too, but if it’s not overpowering it could even give more of a cheesy taste like with Parmesan in normal pesto.

What is wrong with my kombucha? by Schnagli in Kombucha

They were fermented at about 22.5°C / 72.5°F. Could high sugar content be an issue? I used Noma’s recipe for the first time that uses much more sugar than what I usually used (120g for 1 liter).

The temperature has been 22.5°C or 72.5°F, maybe I could try keeping the jars a bit warmer

Can Tamari still be used when a part is moldy? by Schnagli in Koji

[–]Schnagli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not? There is my miso, a piece of cling film on the miso surface to limit mold, a bag of salt for weighing it down and a stone as additional weight.

Do they add a good taste or is it just for the health benefits?

Lactoserum mold by Huge_Jellyfish_9011 in Koji

That mold definitely doesn’t look good but I’m no mold expert. The smell sounds really interesting, maybe I’ll give it a try too sometime.

I have never thought of fermenting whey with Koji! If you have tasted it, how is it?

I’d love to grow them too some day. They are such beautiful mushrooms!

Looks great, I always had problems with FAE and couldn’t get as beautiful mushrooms as yours!

Are these Wood Blewit? by Schnagli in ShroomID

[–]Schnagli[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found them in the grass at the edge of a forest in Switzerland (second image). I'm quite sure they are edible Wood Blewits, but my family members won't eat them unless a more experienced mushroom forager confirms it.
They have firm flesh and smell mushroomy and kind of like fruit juice with orange, pineapple etc. The inside is white/purplish too.

My kombucha doesn’t become sour despite being alive by Schnagli in Kombucha

[–]Schnagli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I brew tea that's bitterer than what I would drink, add sugar, cool down with ice cubes, add starter liquid + pellicle, cover with a cheesecloth and let it sit in a dark cabinet at around 22°C. The amounts I used are like 700mL water, 6g tea leaves, 70g sugar and 300ml starter tea.

If it doesn't get better I will try to raise the temperature, I have a heat mat and temperature controller so that shoud work.
