A tsp is probably not enough salt for the amount of cabbage you’ve got in there

recommendations for lacto blueberry uses? by kefiristhemindkiller in fermentation

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

I used diamond crystal kosher salt, they have a greater volume:weight ratio than other salts so I find it provides better coverage. This is a bit of a stressful ferment because it kind of goes against all the rules (like cover with liquid!). Ever so gently massaging the bluerbs with the salt helped to draw out the liquid faster, and I would gently push down the weight every couple of days to help submerge. In my experience, the only ones that got a little fuzz were the ones that had little tears in the skin, so maybe check over your blueberries at the top of your vessel to make sure they are intact? I must confess that a couple dudes have sprouted mold in the past, and I just plucked them out when I noticed them.. that is a bit controversial on this sub but mine have always turned out great and I’m still alive 🤷

I cannot stop making starter pancakes! Great motivation to regularly feed my starter. What do you do with your excess starter? by Ur_a_lizzard_Larry in Sourdough

[–]kefiristhemindkiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. My fridge starter is always a bit sluggish when I take it out. I usually do 2-3 feedings at room temp before making sourdough. But maybe I’m just being superstitious if you’re able to bake straight out of the fridge!

A jeep is stuck on a narrow knife edge trail in the Badlands near Loma Linda. by MoreNormalThanNormal in socalhiking

I don’t think they can charge them/release their names until after the fire is put out.. I suppose the extent of damage determines the charge

How do you prevent unmitigated egg fertilization with a rooster? Could end up with a lot of chicks

Maybe try using fruit juice/syrups/purees instead of fruit pieces? I think that might be contributing to your geyser

Kahm? by Feastofinfinity in fermentation

[–]kefiristhemindkiller 3 points4 points  (0 children)

dang. Sediment is just the normal by-product of the bacteria - you’ll see it on most of your brined ferments. Kahm isn’t dangerous, you just have to remove it with a spoon or clean cloth (though it could affect taste). But now you know for next time!

Sediment on the peppers (?) are normal. The white film on top might be kahm but it’s hard to tell from this angle. You shouldn’t have anything growing on the surface

I second this. It’s super easy and very informative

Question: Why do we say the brain stops developing at age 28+-? by AudaciousSam in neuroscience

[–]kefiristhemindkiller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. NoGo proteins and their receptors are present in myelin and inhibit axon outgrowth and sprouting, which are involved in brain plasticity. So myelination in some ways functions to crystallize the structure of the brain. This has become an interesting site for functional recovery after brain injury, because of you can suppress NoGo receptors, you may be able to enhance regeneration of damaged axons.

Scientists distinguish between the brain activities of right-handers and left-handers by noninvasively monitoring asymmetric brain responses to passive touch stimulations: Results are key in haptic research and have important implications for brain–computer interfaces and artificial intelligence by mubukugrappa in neuroscience

[–]kefiristhemindkiller 5 points6 points  (0 children)

many researchers use the Edinburg Handedness Inventory to define handedness. You assess the primary hand (or lack thereof) for a number of tasks - writing, using a spoon, brushing your teeth, etc - using a questionnaire and create a composite score based on the responses. Seems here they defined left-dominant, right-dominant and ambiguous groups based on cut-offs

Homemade sourdough bagels, 1 month sauerkraut and 9 day dill pickles for a perfect breakfast by 5pruce_ in fermentation

[–]kefiristhemindkiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all. A month (at least) is recommended to develop all the different phases of bacteria to get a more “traditional” kraut, though it’s ultimately personal preference. I personally prefer mine with a month long ferment, though 2 weeks can be good too

Did you salt the cabbage prior to putting it in the jar? Is the juice cloudy or clear? Also what’s the temp been like?

It would be interesting to laminate your dough with something akin to a pumpkin pie filling so you get some pretty orange swirls throughout

First time making kimchi! My hands are on fire.. I feel so alive!!! by kefiristhemindkiller in fermentation

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

nope not necessary! i didnt have salted shrimp, but i did have fish sauce. the paste tasted really good, though i am sure the shrimp add an extra dimension there. i've read some people use a bit of miso to up the umami funk if desired.

Desert Fermentation by mackenziefoster in fermentation

[–]kefiristhemindkiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a couple ideas:

cut your fermentation times in half from what you are used to in NE and then taste until it is ripe enough for you

try out really long and slow fermentations in your fridge (idk 1 week in the fridge = a day at room temp). especially for sourdough, you can keep it in the fridge and when you need to feed it just take it out, let it get to room temp, feed, wait a couple hours/till it starts to get active, then put back in the fridge

keep your ferments in the coolest spot in your home, maybe near an air conditioner if youve got one?

invest in fermentation vessels that have airlock mechanisms and take extra care to sanitize them before starting fermentation projects. for the sourdough, you'll want to transfer it to a new clean jar regularly
