  • Lovely. How do you pour the liquid from the jar onto the bottles, with funnel and some filter? I’m also making exactly the same thing right now.

    But there’s this one weird thing - has anyone experienced panic attacks after drinking ginger bug sodas? I did my first gb a few months ago and it was interesting experience but at the end when I’ve drank almost all of it I’ve experienced a very unpleasant sensation. I’ve decided to try again recently and now feel something similar - after drinking a glass of gb tea soda I feel uneasy and very thirsty and even disoriented :/ The first time it was even much worse. I have to say I’ve had a glass of beer yesterday, maybe it has to do with this too… Just curious if someone had experienced the same



  • To the contrary, lacto fermentation increases concentration of vitamins in food:

    “Fermentation is indeed a process which allows an increase of content of some vitamins in food. For instance, over the last decades microbial fermentation has been increasingly investigated as a valuable alternative for natural folate (vitamin B9) production, and as a sustainable technology based on renewable resources [25].”

    “diverse functional food components in the developed fermented cucumbers, such as active peptides, free amino acids, organic acids, oligosaccharides, exopolysaccharides, and vitamins may increase, but detrimental microbes, oxidants, and hypersensitivities may decrease and eliminate using innovative fermentation processing technologies (Liu, Wang, & Deng, 2023).”

    Basically the lactobacilus and other beneficial bacteria eat primarily the carbohydrates, they don’t consume vitamins

  • Hi I have a small piece of aloe vera that’s been cut off a bigger plant and it’s spent about a year or two in a pot with some soil and it looked fine until recently I realized that it started to rot and it has no roots but there are new bright green leaves growing from the center. Would it be a good idea to wash the rot off and keep it in a jar like this to wait for the roots to start to growing and then replant it into new succulent soil? Sorry for a random question but you seem to have expertise in this
