Im getting bold, I should do LAB 😂 Jokes set apart, thanks for the info man, I was taught to do LAB the wrong way, much appreciated Chris 👍 Greetings from Costa 🇨🇷 Rica
You gotta be thee most successful person i kno at growing anything. When you started you had no hair, when it was done in 3 days, you had a full beard & head of hair. Then no hair again, bruh. Who needs Bosley when we got L.A.B. 😉👍
Best video on LAB I ever saw, very neat and straight to the point. Do we need to ferment in a dark place away from sunlight? Thank you for great work♥️
Hi Chris yesterday I was keen to produce some FPJ, some one had mentioned that you should use the most abundant plant on your land for It, I remember when watching you using banana flowers I decided to use stinging nettle. Yesterday having chopped them up I did not have a scale to weigh it and the sugar meanwhile I had prepared some lab the cheese on top was not smelling good but the whey smelt alright, so I added it to the stinging nettle the next day having got my scale I tried to see what had happened in the bucket, a lovely fruity smell greeted me. Now I have the scale I have weighed the stinging nettle I am adding the same weight of granulated sugar to it and allow it to ferment for my FPJ. I am going to save that whey that dripped from the stinging nettle into a jar and use a little added to rain water to water my lettuce, stinging nettle is high in nitrogen, will see what happens. I have some chopped up comfrey leaves to do FPJ with granulated sugar as you do. I have done other experiment it would be to long to talk about it. Thank you very much for your great videos very helpful.
Great video Chris. You should do a video showing how it is actually used/applied in the garden; there does not seem to be many videos showing how to actually implement it in gardens.
I read that its 30ml of LAB juice for every Liter of water? I imagine that it differs depends on the strength/pH of the culture you made. Probably not a good idea to pour it straight onto potted plants at least. If someone has some actual experience with this though please chime in!
Hey Chris thank you so much for make these videos! I've learned so much from you and can't tell you how much I appreciate you spreading the knowledge. Anyways, I made my first batch of labs and kept it in the fridge cause I didn't have any brown sugar available at the time. After about a month it went sour on me, I'm guessing it was spoiled. I used a cheese cloth but still had little bits of curd still floating and it seemed like it continued to separate even in the fridge cause it formed a layer at the bottom and top again. Did I possibly not let it separate Long enough in the first place? Or maybe I didn't strain it enough? Anyways I realized this video has been there for awhile so I don't know if you'll see this but, again thank you so much brother!
Hey Chris! you have some awesome videos first off. I just have a couple questions. 1) where do you store your rice wash water in the first stage? in the shade? somewhere warm? in a cool place with no temp flux? I live in Nor cal and its pretty cold up here. our LAB took about a week and a half to separate into serum. Second, Dr.Cho's KNF manual says to mix milk and rice water at a 3:1. in your opinion why do you do a 10:1? Thank you, Greg from Brotherly love organics
Thanks so much for this, it's really helpful. I'm keen to try and use products locally available and that I can produce. Will this work with potatoes? And other starchy vegetables?
I like all your how to make videos. Would appreciate you telling when , how ( soil, foliage) and why these are used. May be include in the description.
Thanks for the great information. I appreciate the way you explain things so I subscribed to your channel. If you plan to use the LAB serum right away then do you need to add the molasses or brown sugar, and what is the dilution ratio for foliar spray please?
Thank you for your time and great info! I have always been confused on how this is drinkable but if I leave milk out for a day or two. It will make you sick! Must obviously be the rice wash that helps it from going rancid?
Hi Chris. Thanks so much for all that you do by enriching our lives with this knowledge. I made some LAB and tried stabilizing it with brown sugar. It went anaerobic and started going sour. I think I had a solid lid on it. Do I need to have a breathable lid? Also do I have to store it in the dark and in a cool place? Thanks
I have a indoor grow of veggies and medicinals here in northern Colorado. What would be your top two or three inputs you would recommend for those new to KNF? Love the Nazarite shirt!
Every time I make kefir and let it go a bit too long, I get separation that reminds me a lot of the whey here. I know it's not official KNF, but I use it in my gardening sometimes. I use LAB prepared the right way too, but I wonder how they would compare on a microscopic level.
Thank you! I live in Hawaii too and have tried 3 times to make LAB. Last time I ended up with something that smelled like acetone after I added the brown sugar. I must have fermented it too long.
me either..i stabilized it with equal part of brown sugar and it wasn't smell as alcohol but after ten days leaving in dark place and room temperature it starts smelling ethyl alcohol..the rerason why?? seems the fermentation keeps going on even after adding brown sugar..someone knows the reason?? thanks
@@matteoturetta5400 u need more sugar.. brown sugar.. it has osmotic pressure that molasses doesnt.doesn't.. that's the key.. more sugar. Attaches to the water. It makes like a fake desert for the microbes to be dormant
Hi Chris, thanks and respect for what you’re doing I water aerobic manure teas with humic acid.. would adding LAB to the mixture help me skip aerating the mix ? Or should I aerate the manure tea first then cut the air and add LAB ? Should I stick with the 1:1000 ratio ? I hope you’re all well Nice T-shirt btw !
GREAT VIDEO, I should have watched this video first, my LAB has been stored in fridge without breathable cloth...its been sealed in the fridge 4 weeks now, I wonder if its dead, changed, can be revived, or do I have to start over...how could one tell, by smell?, it still looks same, can I just feed it a little sugar and put a breathable cover on to bring it back or will it have starved without oxygen for too long? The original video I watched recommended checking out this channel to make cheese from the curd luckily so I am glad I found your channel.
Hi Chris , I have been making this for a few years and lately when adding blackstrap molasses to the lab to preserve it i get foaming and I see lots of small bubbles . It comes out like a bottle of champagne and uncontrollable. Wondering if you ever came across this or what could cause this . I use unsulfured mollasses ( or a least it is advertised this way ) from a bulk store . I also use a airlock on top of the bottle to release the air pressure but no success . Hope you can help
Hi, i have a question about this, is important to check the ph of the final liquid ? mine is 4.5. It's okey ? I heard it must to be lower than 4 but i can't remember were xD. Thank you for all of yours videos. Grettings from Argentina.
Does anyone know if it's possible to use the brine from fermenting sauerkraut as the source of LAB instead of fermenting milk? I'm sure it would be different species of LAB, but would they work as, for instance, making a Bokashi starter?
I was wondering, do you think if I use the water from my farm pond it would accomplish the same thing as some of these solutions do? It is loaded with catfish.
hello Chris, so I made my first LAB and I can see there is a good separation but on top of the cheese curd are mold and other stuff I can't figure out. is this LAB still OK to use? or do I throw this away? I would attach a picture but it won't let me. thanks
Thank u for it and I will try it next time it was too late. I had chicken 5 chickens but 4 them died and only one chicken survived, her name is rose. She is a smart and cute chicken, she is 6 month old. But suddenly today from morning she was acting really weird like she wouldn't drink, eat or waIk,everytime she tried to walk she fell so I did everything to save her then I suddenly found this video. I go to check if rose is ok or not. But I saw it was already dead, I never I cried this much in my life, I loved rose so so much I can't even tell but everyone has to go they can't live forever. But because atleast she is in a better place. I hope everyone's chickens/chicks are fine...
Thank you for doing these videos, Chris. Great Resource! 👍
Thank you for spreading the knowledge brother. Much love from London!
thanks.. this is the best video i've watched so far on how to make LAB.
one of best video about lab i have ever seen
Thank you so much bro, beautiful stuff you're passing along
+Greenee0 thank you for the encouragement :) It is a pleasure to share when I can
This is absolutely the best video I have seen about LAB
Clear, to the point, Mahalo for taking the time and effort to share
+wolfythelobo thank you for the encouragement!
Thank you for that. It looks very simple and I'll give it a go.
Thank you so much for making these!!!
I can't see why anyone would give this video a thumbs down. Seriously people ... what's wrong with you??? LIKED! Subscribed!
Your killing it with the videos brother! Keeping it real with DIY strainers and everything. Love it!
Thanks for the encouragement man :)
Great Video! Science Rules!!! LOVE this video! Subscribed! Ken in Puna, Big Island!
Very informative sir..thank you for sharing.. watching from Philippines 🙂
Im getting bold, I should do LAB 😂
Jokes set apart, thanks for the info man, I was taught to do LAB the wrong way, much appreciated Chris 👍

+Joseph Strattard Hey man, thank you for the encouragement!! I do plan to fill out these videos with the practical application side of things. :)
keep up the good work!
was about to comment the same thing; when would you recommend using LAB in your garden? thanks for these videos chris, great information in them.
@@biomei.solutions is there any update videos about its application? I would really love to watch it.
I read that its 30ml of LAB juice for every Liter of water? I imagine that it differs depends on the strength/pH of the culture you made. Probably not a good idea to pour it straight onto potted plants at least. If someone has some actual experience with this though please chime in!
The rapid hair growth thing made me lol. Thanks Chris!
Incredible results 🤟🏽
You should make a video focusing around human consumption of knf inputs!!
You can use fermented LAB clear with brown sugar for washing clothes. Also it cleans polluted water too.
That's very cool, thank you. I'd like to see more, as Joseph below commented.
man, you are a huge asset to the global community!!!! thank you!!!!
I enjoyed your video..
and i like how you got those korean sign background..haha..
Nice! Must try this!
Still watching these over and over I love this and live knf ...KNF 4 LYFE 🔥💯
I just started, thank you 🌹

Mahalo for the video! I am making my first LAB and while it has been quite warm and I only made a half gallon, it looks ready at 28 hrs.
+Biskit K9 you are most welcome. Great job making LAB :)
Biskit K9
Thanks was about to ask the same
This is amazing you grew you hair and beard in 3 days. Woaw. hahaha. Thanks for the video
It was from drinking the LAB. :)
Ha! Healthy living!
I did rigth the first time sir, awesome thank you so much😍🔥💚🙏✌🤘👊
+Daniel Rivas with pleasure man, good job!
Hi Chris, Thanks for your videos. Can we use this LABS for kitchen composting
And to think I've been making horchata with mine for years🤦😄
Now its plant horchata lol
Hi friend thanks sharing good information
I love the sharng of knowledge and thanks for sharing this with the public, Can one drink it right away and how much can one consume in a day/week !!
Ice Age Farmer gave you a shout out. Thank you for this post. Okay, I subbed..😁🌱
I like all your how to make videos. Would appreciate you telling when , how ( soil, foliage) and why these are used. May be include in the description.
+Sudhanshu Desai ok, in time.
I have watched this video at least a half dozen times and I am reviewing it again after a year...
I just got the massive hair growth joke. Well done

Great video Chris I love it who would have thought one could make cheese while processing a nutrient for plants, I remain fascinated.
Thank you for your time and great info!
I have always been confused on how this is drinkable but if I leave milk out for a day or two. It will make you sick! Must obviously be the rice wash that helps it from going rancid?
Thanks for the great video! Quick question can I use a coffee filter instead of a paint filter?
Hi Chris.
Thanks so much for all that you do by enriching our lives with this knowledge.
I made some LAB and tried stabilizing it with brown sugar.
It went anaerobic and started going sour. I think I had a solid lid on it. Do I need to have a breathable lid? Also do I have to store it in the dark and in a cool place?

Ice Age Farmer said this stuff is great for the garden. I know how to make it, but what do I do with it?
I have a indoor grow of veggies and medicinals here in northern Colorado. What would be your top two or three inputs you would recommend for those new to KNF? Love the Nazarite shirt!

+juan adobo lol, missing video clip :/ had to improvise :)
Can this be used as a foliar feed for plants? Thanks for your time
ThankYou ❤
An explanation of what lab is good for and when it's supposed to be applied, would be cool. Do you have one?
Hope you'll still see my comment... Love your shirt.

Great video!! , what is = weights brown sugar for room temperature storage?
Hi Chris, Great video. What is your opinion on whey water? Especially Kefir whey?
Chris can u pls tell me the exact ratio as such I can use it as a fertilizer.thanks.
It is possible to drink it if I'm lactose intolerant? Thanks for all this knowledge. Blessings.
Hello sir! i would like to inquire on where to purchase those amazing jars you use in all of your videos?!
Hi, i have a question about this, is important to check the ph of the final liquid ? mine is 4.5. It's okey ? I heard it must to be lower than 4 but i can't remember were xD. Thank you for all of yours videos. Grettings from Argentina.
Hello, the starter microrganisms can be obtained from another source, for example from organic chickpeas?
it is possible to use as probiotic for fish culture of biofloc system.
Thakns
Does anyone know if it's possible to use the brine from fermenting sauerkraut as the source of LAB instead of fermenting milk? I'm sure it would be different species of LAB, but would they work as, for instance, making a Bokashi starter?
Do I need a breathable top for the LAB when I add the brown sugar? And how long does the LAB last in the fridge?
As a practicer of knf with all my product tested- You do not need that much milk to the rice wash ratio. I have never used more than a dash
Would like to see what you mean by that,as most videos say the ratio but be 1 1 to 10 ricewash water to milk...
@@FezyBydesign yeah, people have a habit of being wasteful
hallo sir, can i use this for plants material fermentation ?
Is there a way to multiply LAB or do you have to do the same process each time?
Could fpj of basil be prepared?
And if yes, then what can be it's benefits over the plants
Any difference if i air tight cover the container and put sugar in it,
Than only using pure rice wash water as shown in your video?
How do I apply this to my plants?
Can you use this as a starter culture for yogurt making? If so, how does the process differ?
Hi Chris, Please can I use other kind of sugar apart from brown sugar ? or it has to be brown sugar only that I could use for LAB
Can you please tell us if we can use this to heal our gut?? Thank you
Does any rice work, including brown long-grain? And is organic better or does that not make a difference? Thanks for all your info!
I was wondering, do you think if I use the water from my farm pond it would accomplish the same thing as some of these solutions do? It is loaded with catfish.
Nice
Two days and it worked, he grew a full head of hair 🤣
obviously joking, great video, and very informative
Now when you said you might have let it go too long if it smells sour(can it be toxic?)can you use it or discard and start over?
Help, i cant seem to find how much lab to put in a quart of water for fertilizing potted plants
How long can you keep lab before they "expire" in the fridge?
How long can brown sugar extend the lifespan of lab?
To keep chickens healthy do I mix this with food or let them drink it from a bowl? Thank you, great video!!
I have to say even when it smells sour but not like to sour it could still be used btw, sweet is better but a bit sour doesn’t do any damage
What is your soil mix contains for both seedling and potting mix?
greetings from Cairo-Egypt ن :)
hello Chris, so I made my first LAB and I can see there is a good separation but on top of the cheese curd are mold and other stuff I can't figure out. is this LAB still OK to use? or do I throw this away? I would attach a picture but it won't let me. thanks
with raw milk, should I remove the fat cap that settles at the top?

What do you do with the extra rice water? Cannot be diluted and used as well?
