Old-Fashioned, Healthy, Lacto-Fermented Soft Drinks: The Real "Real Thing" My brother John and I share a hobby of brewing lacto-fermented sodas--root beers and ginger ales--which we share among family and friends and occasionally sell at health food conventions. Often we are asked, "Where can I buy this? " Our answer is "Nowhere.

" Unless you are lucky enough to run into us at the Weston A. Price Foundation yearly conference, chances are you will never see lacto-fermented soda for sale anywhere. Our personal reasons for not "expanding our operation" are deeply relevant to the conflict between craft and commerce in food production. Usually I make soda in 5-gallon batches. The process is fairly time-consuming, but it fits in well with other chores and there is no obligation to brew a certain amount at a certain time. So far so good. The compromises one would have to make to sell fermented soda on an economically viable scale are constant refrigeration and scary warning labels, or pasteurization, or plastic bottles. You cannot pay someone to care. How To Make Black Currant Wine. Overview Black currant wine can be a good way to use up these berries which otherwise can be difficult to use in the household.

This wild berry wine is a tradition in northern European countries and has a unique, rich flavor. Black currants make a sweet, strongly flavored wine, but aren't as easy to process as softer fruits, because of their tough skins. Keep in mind that if you adjust various steps of this method, you can make a fuller-bodied wine or a light, dry wine depending on the winemaking process. Step 1 Prepare the black currants for the wine. Step 2 Boil a gallon of water in a large kettle or stockpot. Step 3 Add wine yeast and nutrient when the mixture has cooled to about 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit, or lukewarm. Step 4 Pour the wine into a glass gallon jug. Step 5 Rack the wine, as outlined above. 100% Whey Protein - Natural from BODYSTRONG on sale.

Real Food Storage: Are the Instant Food Storage Packages a Good Deal? | Cooking Traditional Foods. I’ve been getting reader questions about the ready-made food storage supplies that cost $400 or more per 90 day supply. The lure of this option is that everything is already done for them.

The ready-made supplies are often deficient in calories, loaded with soy and GMOs and more. I do not recommend them. They normally don’t contain enough food to sustain an adult for 90 days if you check the calorie counts. They normally don’t even have half of the calories you would need per day if you were doing manual labor. They are normally void of meat, rely on soy, are very bland, have MSG, artificial colors and flavors and contain nothing but artificial vitamins. The only thing they have going for them is convenience. Worse yet are the new kits that contain 90 days worth of supplements for $400 or more being billed as food storage. The prices listed are local to me at the health food store. You’ll notice some of these items aren’t priced in bulk. Meat for a total of $304: Spices: Cooking Traditional Foods.
