Microbiotic Alchemy: Cider is awesome! Put yeast in juice! Drink!
http://doityourselfrevolution.blogspot.com/2011/04/cider-is-awesome-put-yeast-in-juice.html
Dirt, booze, and microbes. Wednesday, April 27, 2011. Put yeast in juice! Warning: This post may have been written under the influence of hard cider. Twenty bottles of cider - that's a lot of booze. I'm not a beer drinker, and while I like wine, I love cider! Wine is perfect for romantic, swanky dinners, but for a casual meal, you can't go wrong with cider. If you've never fermented your own alcohol before, don't despair; cider is as simple as it gets. Bottles, 16oz or 750 ml. Racking cane, optional.

Microbiotic Alchemy: Harder Cider
http://doityourselfrevolution.blogspot.com/2011/05/harder-cider.html
Dirt, booze, and microbes. Thursday, May 26, 2011. 8220;Wow, that is a lot of juice.” An older lady in the store said, ogling my cart. “I'm making cider.” I explained. “How do you do. 8221; she asked, a perplexed and slightly suspicious look on her face. “Well, basically you just add yeast and possibly sugar and let it ferment for a few weeks and then bottle it! And the cider makers. Yeast, preferably wine or champagne. Sugar, I used four pounds of turbinado. Can of apple juice concentrate. Campden table...

Microbiotic Alchemy: Drink of The Gods!
http://doityourselfrevolution.blogspot.com/2011/07/drink-of-gods.html
Dirt, booze, and microbes. Tuesday, July 12, 2011. Drink of The Gods! Mead Zeus drank it. Hoards of rampaging Vikings drank it. Now you, too, can revel in the glory of mead. Mead is honey wine, the first known fermented beverage. Ever. This recipe is for cyser, or apple mead. I like apples in my booze. You could use a different kind of juice to suit your taste. All the equipment listed in my basic cider post. An additional fermentation vessel. I use the glass jugs that the juice comes in with. For a much...

Microbiotic Alchemy: Starting Seeds (On The Cheap)
http://doityourselfrevolution.blogspot.com/2011/05/starting-seeds-on-cheap.html
Dirt, booze, and microbes. Friday, May 6, 2011. Starting Seeds (On The Cheap). There are many reasons why I aim to grow at least some of my own food, and honestly the primary reason is not to save money. It's about the food, the quality and freshness, the satisfaction of home canned produce all winter long, and not having to throw away packaging, or feel guilty about buying a watermelon grown in an entirely different continent. Little onions, and some green garlic. I did buy potting soil, compost, and fe...

Microbiotic Alchemy: Yogurt
http://doityourselfrevolution.blogspot.com/2011/05/yogurt.html
Dirt, booze, and microbes. Monday, May 2, 2011. Confession time. It's hard for me to admit, but . I . don't like yogurt. I mean, I use it for a lot of things: in place of sour cream, on spicy food. Generally as a condiment I like yogurt just fine. Frozen. Yogurt is amazing. But eating a bowl of yogurt by itself? I can't do it. Only total desperation and a lack of food in the house can drive me to such an extreme and masochistic act. Milk - I use whole. A few spoon fulls of plain yogurt. Of course, it's n...

Microbiotic Alchemy: IT'S GOOD FOR YOU!
http://doityourselfrevolution.blogspot.com/2011/04/sauerkraut-and-kimchi.html
Dirt, booze, and microbes. Friday, April 29, 2011. IT'S GOOD FOR YOU! Sauerkraut and kim chi are both essentially lacto-fermented cabbage. In the case of kim chi, other vegetables, spices, and sometimes even shrimp are added to the cabbage. Having made both kim chi and sauerkraut, I can assure you that they are both super easy to make! Or just ferment it! I can think of no better way to preserve an abundance of cabbage for the winter months, and guys, you don't even have to can it! All the equipment list...

Microbiotic Alchemy: How To - Sourdough Starter
http://doityourselfrevolution.blogspot.com/2011/04/how-to-sourdough-starter.html
Dirt, booze, and microbes. Tuesday, April 19, 2011. How To - Sourdough Starter. Welcome to the DIY Revolution! Some folks do it to save money, to cut back on fossil fuel use, to avoid processed food, to get back to basics, to learn ancestral skills, and to avoid the impending zombie apocalypse. Whatever your reasons are, they are good reasons. Therefore, I am going to skip over all that and focus on the practical. Where the hell was I supposed to find that? This, and water, is all you need to make starter.
