Perfectly explained.
Thank you!
so cute
Not one of those are himalayan salt
The bulk one definitely is not. Why would you say the other one is not?
Amazing! Thank you!
Made from 420 stainless steel steel and not 440. Big difference...
"Yeasty beasties"
They actually do put makeup on white salt to make them pink…
Where I'm from, it's called "bottling". I never understood why Americans call it "canning". I mean, they're bottles, not cans. Lol.
That's such a good point!
En toe gebeur wat?
Toe gaan braai ons😉
Very well explained! I will try that today. Can I add canned coconut water?
Canned coconut water is really low in sugar, so there won't be enough food for the micro organisms. You will have to supplement either with some extra sugar or fruit juice. Remember the MO will eat all the sugar.
Like you tutorial, i have been searching for this and watched pretty a lot videos, yours is clear, calm, free and makes me confident of doing it : ) Will try the first batch tomorrow 🌹
Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it. Hope yours is a roaring success!
hoax no part 2
Not a hoax, I haven't made part 2 yet. I was doing some enquiries from himalayan salt importers as I actually wanted an official test done. Still going to do part 2
I recently began making kombucha. It helps our gut health and it’s enjoyable to drink after the second fermentation with fruit and ginger, especially chilled!
You should try passion fruit kombucha!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Hoping to revive my ginger bug. Following the instructions given, I washed my (NOT ) organic, very expensive 🙈 ginger which is perhaps why it's not active. Another great tip, freezing the bits. Would love to see you make ginger sweets from the 'leftover' ginger. Just 👍 and Sub😊
Thank you Kathy for the sub! Yes try it without washing it. Will get to the ginger sweet video and post it 😁
Look forward to it 😊
Looking forward to it!!!
Awesome, thank you for you support
Wouldn’t it be easier to measure ph level to get a consistent preferred state of end product
If you like being technical in your approach or you are unsure of the process, yes you can. I prefer doing it the way my grandmother did before ph strips were available.
Where's the link to the Part 2?
Very informative ❤❤❤
Thank you❤
Hi! loved your tutorial. Is it important to use sterilized jars for both the ginger bug and then the sodas/juices? How can i do it easily? Do you wash the gingers, the knife, the cutting board, etc? I forgot 1 day to feed it and did it 14 hs later and i think it died, no activity. And also i think i added to much of ginger and sugar for the jar's size (the water turned like jelly). I'm gonna start again from scratch.
Hi there! Thank you for your feedback. I don't sterilize anything. I just was it with warm soapy water, rinse and dry. Do not wash your ginger, the yeast you need lives on the peels. It's important to get your ratio of sugar and ginger right and yes choose a jar that's not too small. Not feeding it will definitely slow it down and activity will stop. The yeast need the sugar daily to survive. Please update me on your new bug and if you manage.
What a good one! Sweet bird!
She is super cute ❤.
This is a wonderland! I am giddy just watching. If we had this here in the States I’d move in there and be content! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching! My favorite seed company in the states is Bakers Creek. Man they have nice seed!
I agree! I mail order seeds from them every year.
Really enjoyed this installment of Tribe Tribute. It was Solomon-like! 😀
You were the one person I wished I could add to this convo!
Why do I feel so small! We have to support each other, care and encourage one another. Our purpose should be selfless...
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge! I do not know much about this process, but willing to try this soon! I was just wondering about the finished product, you mentioned that it would turn into alcohol if left out for too long. Does it mean you have to consume the drink once it has reached the preffered flavour? Is there a way to store the drink in a way that would prevent it from turning into alcohol? Like storing it in the fridge? :)
Yes the natural occurring yeast combined with the sugar results in a fermentation process that will end in alcohol if left long enough. So get your gingerbug active and then add to juice and leave out for 1 to 3 days. Keep tasting and stop where it's not sweet but rather a 'matured' flavour. This could be after a day depending on temperatures. (Put it in sealed bottle if you want it carbonated. Once in fridge fermentation would not stop but slow down considerably. So consuming it in a few days will be fine. Glad you're enjoying the content
Nice info
You're welcome
I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and will be checking out Jane’s books.
Thank you for the feedback! Jane's books are wonderfully user friendly and informative
Looks soooo pretty. Definitely going to try. Love that you combine ingredients on feel and not precise recipes
Somewhere during Jane's travels she brought back peppadews. She gave my aunt a few plants or fruit and they have been in the family ever since, which must be over 25 years ago.
That is so special. A gift that keeps on giving!
I have bought all Jane's books. Wasooking for the Jane's Delicious Kitchen but could not find it. Love her books.
Unfortunately that specific one is out of print
I learned to make a plantain salve over a campfire. I like your method much better! Is the Cayenne a topical analgesic? Thanks for another great vid.
Love how we can make our remedies in so many ways, even fire😁. Yes Cayenne is a local analgesic which desensitise local nerves.
This method is such a no mess method! No pots to clean😅
Can you do this on a stove top?
Yes you can, in the jar in the oven is just so much less of a mess
Love the background
It's gonna get better!
Mood Abí will definitely make some
Yes she has grown so much. Thank you for always supporting her
😂 oh how she’s grown and that accent, efinitely the American guest influence, just love it!
Nie 'n Afrikaanse liedjie verwag nie!

That’s a nifty idea for creating your own seasoning, without preservatives. Thanks!
I know right, not sure why it took me so long to start!
I looked on the website and didnt see the grinders. Only the jars themselves were there. Am I looking in the wrong place? That salt mix looked delicious! Ty for sharing! Oh, Hello 👋 from🇨🇦
Hi Shannon, here's the link woodmead.consolshop.co.za/products/consol-glass-grinder-250ml-black Hope it helps :).
O dear just realized you are from Canada. I will find out from Ardagh Group if they operate there. Thank you so much for watching my videos🤗
I can’t do this. I would eat the entire can. Oink.
What kind of liquor is Cane? Thanks, good vid.
Cane is a hard liquor made from Sugar Cane. It has a neutral taste which makes it very suitable for tinctures. Alcohol percentage is approx 43%
Is it taken s as tea or tincture for inflammation?
Either way
Love your collection of bottles.😊
Thank you, bottles are like gold in this house😂
We’ll said.
Very rational thinking. Well-said.
I could never achieve the higher level of acidity that I wanted from apple scraps. Now I understand that I should have filtered the fruit out after a week. Thanks for the tip.
Brad give or take 10 to 20 days. You will smell when it is alcohol
Thank you. This helps very much. I think that this year’s batch will be successful!
@@bradlaffertyhope you share your results😁
Where do you buy your gold lids from?
I buy them directly from Consol/Ardagh at www.ardaghgroup.com
I'm making crab apple vinegar, first time. How do I know when the alcohol has all changed into acid and it's time to bottle? Everyone says taste it. But as a first-timer, I'm not sure what the test is. It tastes VERY strong and nose burning!
Penny just confirm, have you strained your fruit already? Also how long has this whole process taken you from start already? As for knowing when it is right, there is a distinct difference in smell from the alcohol stage to the acetic acid (vinegar) stage. If you take a good sniff your nose will tell you that it's vinegar by just your reaction 😂. It smells highly acidic. Also timeframe could be a good indicator. It definitely won't take more than 60 days. Things like temperature and container plays a role in the timing.
@@selfsufficienthomesteading8287 thanks. Yes, it's strained and has been in a dark cupboard for around 2 months. In the beginning it smelt very strongly of alcohol, but it doesn't any more - much more acid now. I reckon it's probably done. I'll bottle it.
@pennypistorius197 yes the timing sounds right and the smell confirms. Well done!
I never can my meat in the gold lid jars. I always can in the canning jars. I pressure can with my 250ml canning jars and have never had any breakage.
Do you have old or new type lids for the 250ml?
Old and new
You don't need to turn it no. To know if it is dry you feel it. Some people like it dry on the outside ans soft and pink inside while others like myself like it completely dry. So I wait till it is hard before I take it out. If it's the first time you will be making it I am sure you are going to love it.
Thank you. I cannot wait to try making this and tasting it!
@bradlafferty if you need more assistance just let me know. Or when making it and you feel stuck just leave a comment so I can help with an answer
Hi. I am interested in making this. Did you have to turn the hanging meat during the four days? How did you know it was dry enough? Thank you for any information.
How long do you let it ferment? Thanks. I didn’t know about the crunching part but it makes sense.
Minimum 3 weeks, i prefer closer to 6 weeks depending on the season I make it. At 2 weeks it will smell rotten, don't worry, that is the Sulphur in the cabbage 'escaping' from your jar.
Thank you for the information.
