How many here are into fermenting foods?
My new year resolution was to lose 20kg before July (family holiday) so Ive cut way back on the beers and got into eating healthy food. Ive actually already beaten my 20kg target but decided to go for 28kg as this takes me to my "ideal weight" according to google.
So far this year I havent even emptied a keg so my last brew was in Jan when I made a sour which is aging in my foeder.
Recently I decided to have a go at fermenting healthy foods and drinks. Ive done a couple of batches or sauerkraut which I love and been eating with almost every meal (try homemade bread with avocado, sauerkraut, poached egg and covered with homemade hot sauce
). Made some fermented hot sauces and got a load more fermenting as these will apparently improve with longer ferments, some do them for years.
Got some carrot and mooli sticks almost ready to eat, had a lot of success with fermented radishes, making my own yoghurts which are great and super easy using UHT milk. Also got a couple of batches of garlic fermenting in honey going and started making apple cider vinegar.
I plan to start fermented beetroot, onions, eggs, kefir, kombucha, cucumbers, etc and a few more vinegars, will try malt vinegar from some of the huge stock of beers I have in kegs.
Im finding it a fantastic new hobby which will help with keeping the weight off once I reach my target weight. Any one else into fermenting foods?
