Another mysterious but reliable microbe in my base Another mysterious but reliable microbe in my basement. This starts as standard vinegar production (3 parts dry hard cider, 1 part active raw vinegar). If kept at a warm room temperature I get the standard smooth slippery raft formation and full acetic acid fermentation. But if I keep it at cellar temperatures (10-15C) I get this cobbled, crenulated raft. Acetic acid production is either super slow or actually stalls out, so two months later I have something like hard, dry kombucha. . . . #apples #cider #hardcider #vinegar #kombucha #fermentation #microbes #yegfood

So glad the Food Court podcast is finally off the So glad the Food Court podcast is finally off the ground. @chaelmac and I actually started recording some of our conversations about food and cooking two years ago, but circumstances conspired against us and we were only recently able to resume recording and release our first episode. First episode is available in the link in my bio, or you can search it on Apple Podcasts. Topics in this first conversation include ram-don, subsistence meatballs, and that time I caught on fire at Jack's Grill. New episodes will come out every second Wednesday. Have a listen!

Cider/fermentation peeps! Any experience with thi Cider/fermentation peeps! Any experience with this type of yeast growth on hard cider? It forms pretty reliably in my cellar if an airlock dries up or a screw cap gallon jug isn't filled completely. When I first saw it many years ago it reminded me of flor yeast. I know it probably can't actually be flor, but it sure looks like it. Almost like fine-textured curdled milk. I have aged some ciders in contact with this yeast, and maybe it's the power of suggestion, but I swear the cider develops some very sherry-like or vin jaune-like characteristics. A dramatic reduction in acidity, production of aldehydes and oxidative notes. It ages remarkably well. The bottle above was pressed in 2010. Is this a thing? Cidre jaune? . . . #cider #hardcider #fermentation #yeast #apples #yegfood #yegfruit
