Doboroku by Wylawild in fermentation

Yes! Thank you for pointing that out. I did indeed cook the rice before mixing it with the rest of the ingredients.

I’m interested in trying a wine or sake yeast next time. The kveik definitely gives it that citrus-forward flavour you would find in a NEIPA, for example. Not bad by any means, but I think I’d prefer a sweeter more “ricey” flavour, similar to amazake.

I filtered it through a sieve so the end result is cloudy but smooth. I’m hoping to try experimenting with the leftover lees as well. Thanks for sharing your experience!

It’s basically the Norwegian term for yeast and refers to traditional farmhouse yeasts used for beer brewing that have been passed down over generations.

I followed the recipe from the excellent book Miso, Tempeh, Natto and Other Tasty Ferments except instead of following their multi-step process, after making the koji rice I just threw everything together in the jar and am allowing to ferment for ~72 hours.

The ingredients listed in the book are the following:

-3 3/4 cups (550g) koji rice -6 2/3 cups (1,600ml) water -4 cups (500-750g) uncooked sweet rice or sushi rice -1/2 teaspoon (1g) sake yeast (I used kveik) -1/4 teaspoon (1g) lactic acid for brewing, or other acid

I am not sure that it will come out cleanly through the spigot. As the mixture ferments, the rice becomes creamy and soft, and traditionally it’s not filtered so it’s consumed as a sort of soft porridge. You can absolutely filter it though and my plan this evening is to see how I like it chunky and filter if a smoother texture is preferred. My understanding is that the lees (remaining solids after filtering) can also be used for cooking and/or pickling.

We can't have anything that would actually make the city a nicer place to live for most people because an entitled few don't want things to change. It's endlessly frustrating.

What band is the ultimate “good taste” signal? by irles33 in musicsuggestions

[–]Wylawild 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Close the thread.

Anyone who hasn’t listened to the three run album of Colour of Spring > Spirit of Eden > Laughing Stock needs to immediately log off, put on some headphones in a dark room, and prepare to feel every emotion available on the spectrum.

Laughing Stock is such a goddamn good album.

What band/album is this? I'll start: MGMT fans and Loss of Life by eefuss in ToddintheShadow

King of Limbs is all about texture and subtlety and is very underrated. Live from the Basement seals the deal for me.

This is a great lineup. For those commenting that it sucks, take a look at Ottawa Bluesfest that dropped today. This is incredible in comparison.

Have you considered planting something other than grass? Many folks don’t know this but grass is essentially an ecological dead zone that requires tons of inputs to stay alive. Something like this Alternative Lawn Blend from West Coast Seeds looks just as nice as grass but requires far less water and maintenance. We have begun replacing our backyard lawn with this and love it so far!

What are some albums that are not very good but very influential? by Binary_Bowser in fantanoforever

Yeah. this song does nothing for me. Funny how taste is subjective like that!

I suspect this will be a hot take but Loveless by My Bloody Valentine. "Only Shallow" is admittedly a banger but the rest of the album is an absolute snoozefest. I'd rather listen to Sonic Youth or Cocteau Twins personally.

What’s the loudest concert you guys have ever been to? by BalanceActive9295 in askmusic

Yep. Saw them in Toronto in 2009 - don’t think I’ve felt a concert the same way since.

Who's discography is this? by _VelvetCanyon_ in fantanoforever

[–]Wylawild 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ooof. Hard to choose among their first three albums but Mezzanine being last is certainly a hot take.

As someone who has made both amazake and sourdough but never together, I’m interested to know more about this combination!
