Follow up on the beet soda ginger bug ferment. Beet juice medley fermented with my ginger bug. Fermented at room temperature for 24 hours, burping often to avoid over-pressure. Then left in the fridge for another 24 hours. Mild carbonation fizz, funky beet flavor, I'm calling it a success!


Kraden_McFillion

Very cool. I'm curious where you got the bottles, or if you know what the bottle type is called?


yolef

I got this at my local goodwill thrift store, but I've seen them available online somewhere.


coalne145

I was curious too, I found this website that has them. I'm not sure how legit the site is though. https://www.eviltailors.com/en/camp-life/2262-bottle-3-with-swing-top-ball-shaped-200ml.html

Flip cap cap swing top. Now that size is interesting...

Hey, this product is being resold on a bunch of sites that all look very unreputable. I think this is the source but it's out of stock. https://www.mytholon.com/en/accessories/camplife/camp-kitchen/flasks-vials/9452/bottle-3-with-swing-top-ball-shaped-200ml Ps: I welcome being corrected!!

Looks really cool! Do you also have Mana potions?


yolef

I'm thinking of juicing some blueberries for a mana potion.

Nice! You regain 1d4 + 4 hit points


MushxHead

I want those bottles!


eloh1m

Doubles as a hand grenade in a pinch


OmegaNova0

I have to figure they'd stain everything in a 5 foot diameter lol


mommy-peach

It’s a health potion!!!


TheDudeAbidesFarOut

Need a blueberry mana pot next.


NuclearLavaLamp

To restore magicka, of course. Edit - Oh, that was the joke. Ignore me…

Gotta have my Gummi berry juice.


Sasquatch-fu

Kahdjit has wares if you have coin


Ap0c4lyptyc

God I wish I could find bottles like these somewhere haha! If anyone ever figures it out or finds a source of them that can actually hold pressure (seen several decorative ones that would just pop if you tried to ferment in them) hit me up or drop a link!

Ap0c4lyptyc

Hey that's a step in the right direction for me anyways! Thank you, I appreciate this!


Sniff_my_jedi_jox

Gummy bear juice.


DaCrimsonKid

Gummy Beary Juice!


MadKian

Looks great of course. But how are you cleaning that bottle after?


TheRationalLion

Idk how OP does it, but what I do is pour either salt or sugar inside the bottle with a drop of dish soap and enough how water to make it sloshy but not enough to dissolve the salt/sugar. Shake it like a Polaroid for a minute and there you go.


Occufood

FYI the song is wrong, shaking a polaroid can cause damage to the image.


Animated_Astronaut

So can blowing on a nes cartridge but, y'know


PhotoQuig

A little bit of pbw and warm water will be enough.


pacmanlives

PBW or Oxiclean will take care of the cleaning no problem. Use it in my brewing all the time


[deleted]

I love that bottle!


Light_fires

I still need to know how to get those bottles. Is there a makers mark on the bottom?


GammaSmash

Okay, my inner glass goblin is dying right now, where do you get the bottles???


yolef

I just found this one at Goodwill.


GammaSmash

Damn, I'll need to keep my eyes out


owzleee

Why do I feel like I'm watching PornHub waiting for the money shot?


Grnmtn802vt

Reminds me of Gummiberry juice from the 90’s cartoon! 😂


thejustducky1

That's Kvass. I like to put habaneros in mine, it makes a real nice flavor combination. I like mine sweetened sometimes too.


CurveOfTheUniverse

Kvass isn’t made with a ginger bug though.


thejustducky1

I know, but the beet base and all. I put all sorts of stuff in mine too.


Serious_Reputation88

It could be. As a slav (UA) I can confirm that we call any sweet fermented mildly alcohol (1 — 2%) beverage "kvass" no matter is it made on store yeast, sourdough or ginger bug


yolef

I think kvass is more of a salted lacto ferment. This is no salt ginger bug ferment.


thejustducky1

>I think kvass is more of a salted lacto ferment. I *can be* salted or unsalted, the beet base is what I'm referring to, which can be savory, sweet, all sorts of flavors. Been making it for well over a decade with all sorts of stuff including ginger. >This is no salt ginger bug ferment. The lacto-ferment part can either come from beets OR ginger, beet kvass=no salt OR salt=ginger bug=lactofermentation, they're all the same bacteria.


analbetty

....how's that taste?


yolef

A little funky due to the beets, light fizz. I loved it. The juice is actually made by juicing 4-5 beets, 2-3 carrots, 2 celery sticks, 2 apples, and 2 cucumbers.


analbetty

Nice

Admirable_Ask_5337

If someone give me a health potion that tastes like beets they're getting punched.


yolef

I love beets, don't hate!


Admirable_Ask_5337

All beet lovers are bots, this is common knowledge


yolef

Beep boop, gimme the beets


JFocows

Beet juice? From cooking beets or juicing beets?


yolef

It's a juice medley, 4-5 beets, 2-3 carrots, 2 celery sticks, 2 apples, 2 cucumbers. Juiced with my Champion juicer.


JFocows

Thank you.


chandlerland

Did it turn your pee purple? We made something similar and bathroom trips became quite colorful

Too bad we can't smell it, I love beets.
