Re: How to culture L.A.B Lactic acid bacteria - Part 1
Straining done and the whey/ LAB separated off from the cheese curd :D
Ive put the curd to the side for the moment to press into cheese later. but i think thats the LAB done :D
now if ya wanna expand this to a living culture which ill be doing with half, its 1:1:500 LAB culture : molasses : water and that should be rocking in about 3 days. the LAB serum and also be used as is.... what i couldnt fit in the bottle went into my indoor compost bin :D
happy growing

Re: How to culture L.A.B Lactic acid bacteria - Part 1
I dont know much about anything really however there is alot of talk about not using molasses with lab for any reason. However brown sugar added to the serum at equal weights will create a shelf stable lab no refrigeration needed. Otherwise I understand that the LAB needs to be in cold storageGMO wrote:Straining done and the whey/ LAB separated off from the cheese curd :D

Learning more about LAB through #Potentponics Steve kefir supposedly has a much more dense population and diversity of beneficial microorganisms than milk alone ..I'll be doing this for my next batch cheers GMO

Re: How to culture L.A.B Lactic acid bacteria - Part 1
your bang on from what i understand really mate. molasses and super saturation doesnt work molasses apparently has too high a water content already. im not 100% but most the guys i see making EM use molasses as a base so i think its just for saturastion to store that molasses is a no no. ive chucked min in the fridge till there is more space in the bottle to back fill with brown sugarG3W2HIN wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 8:12 pmI dont know much about anything really however there is alot of talk about not using molasses with lab for any reason.

I love your posts @GMO but I'm gonna have to admit they are far above where I am with growing at the moment. The beauty is now you have spent the time to stick it all in a thread I will be able to find this knowledge later when I am ready.

Yeah that's why I piggy back on your posts GMO the reality that information is not owned by those who present it only others choose to be more receptive to those they recognize as a source they in opinion BELIEVE to be credible.
