Allen ★ Posted July 4, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 4, 2019 It starts with nothing more than dried fruit (raisins) in water, and time. When the fruit floats to the top and the water bubbles, it’s ready. Burp the jar every day Day one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted July 5, 2019 Share #2 Posted July 5, 2019 Mindboggled. It creates yeast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted July 5, 2019 Share #3 Posted July 5, 2019 Wait. Can this explode if you forget to off gas? Can't you just put the lid on loosely to allow air escape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted July 5, 2019 Share #4 Posted July 5, 2019 Do you keep it in the fridge or on counter at room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors Edge ★ Posted July 5, 2019 Share #5 Posted July 5, 2019 Yeah - what exactly is the "yeast" that is created (grown) here? If it is in the liquid, what do you do with it? Is this something Allen bakes with? Is this different from normal yeast (powder)? It seems neat (minus the massive explosion of glass shards that would surely happen in my house since we generally forget lots of things ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen ★ Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share #7 Posted July 5, 2019 Yeast water is like sourdough. It’s a source of yeast for bread baking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
