The craziest thing about India is that with all the spice laden foods Iāve eaten I donāt smell bad when I sweat. I just smell like the spices Iāve been eating.
For this nerd, there are a lot of cool things, my problem is that Iām good at looking at stuff but bad at taking pictures. But hereās the highlights for the time!
Hey yāall, ive been not very active (which isnāt uncommon) but this time itās because Iām off traveling!!! I went to Singapore and now Iām in India! Look look!

Explain the different types of grapes used in winemaking.
This is a tough one because there are over 10,000 different wine grape varieties. Im going to assume this is just an uninformed question as it is an AI that generated it.
Iād say as a description to a beginner, there are two types of grapes, grapes that typically make red wine, and grapes that typically make white wine. The difference between red and white wine all have to do with grape skins but can range between white skinned and red skinned grapes.
This can be answered broadly and specifically. Imma try and find a middle ground.
Fermentation is the process of predigestion and the breaking down of sugars and starches by microbes such as fungi, bacteria, mold, or enzymes into simpler sugars and other byproducts.
Itās a type of respiration cycle typically done in an anaerobic state for ingestible products, as well as a few examples of a blend of anaerobic and aerobic respiration.
I asked an AI, what are 100 things a person of my studies should know.
With this information I will be answering each question (starting with fermentation, then anthropology, next religious studies, and finally philosophy) and sharing them here. That way, not only will I help solidify my own knowledge, but I can share my understandings as well!
I made my first ever bread. Iāve always been nervous about baking because of the technicalities that go into it, but since my brand is fermentation I decided to bite the bullet and give it a shot.
It aināt pretty, but it sounds, smells, and feels nice. So Iām thinking itās not too bad. Now I just have to figure out how to make it look pretty. Then Iāll be unstoppable!
Iāve got family from the south and sometimes I will remember GREAT fighting words.
The one I remembered most recently was āif you donāt stop fightinā right now, Jimmyās gonna punch you so hard youāll be shittinā teeth for a week.ā
And thereās something just so poetic about that. Like I donāt want to fight anyone, but boy would I love to say those words to someone.
You can blend peppers, onion, garlic, and some spices together for a simple base. Then add some live whey, and put it all in a jar in a lukewarm and dark space in your kitchen away from a window works well, it just shouldnāt get too cold).
Every day āburpā the jar (open the lid to let excess gas out) then every 3-ish days give it a stir. If everything goes well, there should be bubbles forming in your mash. Thatās a good thing! Keep an eye out for any mold that grows on the surface, the stirring should prevent it, but if you see any spots forming then toss it and try again! Youāre building a biome of living creatures, so itās not uncommon to end up with more than one thing growing.
After about a week and a half to two weeks, you should have a nice hot sauce! Take the hot sauce and either strain it from the mash, mixing it with vinegar to make an un-aged Tabasco alternative (Tabasco hot sauce is aged at the least 3 years). Or blend it again to make a smooth creamy sauce like sriracha!
After that if you save some of the hot sauce you can use it as a starter for later batches. Add your starter to a bowl of salted shredded cabbage to make a spicy sauerkraut. Experiment with different flavors, if you do everything but use tomatoes instead of peppers youāll end up with a good base for ketchup (youāll have to reduce it after in a slow cooker though for the final product).
You can also dry the leftover mash if you strain it and use it as a seasoning! Thereās so much that can be done!
need you to know your username and that tag paragraph you left on a reblog one time have captivated me and that's why I followed. I know nothing about fermenting. I've spoken of you to my friends. tell me a fact about fermentation
Iām going to scream, this is my first ever ask and Iām so nervous!
Letās see, a fact about fermentation.
There are too many so hereās a few that I find interesting š¤·āāļø
SCOBY (the thing most commonly associated with kombucha) stands for (S)ymbiotic (C)ulture (O)f (B)acteria and (Y)east
Vinegar can also develop a SCOBY. However, instead of being called a SCOBY, itās more typically referred to as a MOV - (M)other (O)f (V)inegar
Hot sauces can be fermented. Many famous hot sauces are fermented. And itās generally agreed upon that fermentation hot sauces have a better blend of flavors.
If a bread had yeast in it itās been fermented. The difference between regular bread and sourdough bread is that with the wild yeast some bacteria will also take root which helps give that nice tart taste!
Fermentation is just the process of having smaller microorganisms digest a food before you do. The most common fermenters are fungi and yeast, bacteria, mold, and enzymes.
All vinegar starts as alcohol
Even salamis and other dried/aged meats are fermented!
Thereās so much more I could talk about, but these are a spread of facts that are neat!
