Hello im a beekeeper in Kawerau

I have tried different yeasts and instant is definitely my go to 🙂 i try to buy the vacuum sealed bricks 😂 you get so much and it lasts so long, otherwise i use good old "pams"

Great video, showing differences in yeast. Love this channel.

I don't like the slug shape and prefer to use loaf tins so the toaster can handle the slices. We are only a family of two though, no kids now so no sandwiches to make. I make four loaves at a time using my "Dave" and freeze them. Also, I have found that it is not necessary to use a whole packet of the Edmonds Instant dried yeast but just half will do the job. Thats the yeast I prefer anyway.

Ive just started regularly making your no knead bread recipe have to say its the absolute best recipe yet, everyone is loving the 'slug' loaf! Couple of things i have found is the more time i give it to rise both times the better and the less handling the better as well. Ive tried a few yeast varieties so far my go to's are the edmonds surebake (floury 1) and the edmonds sachets. My go to for flour for all my baking is the 5kg high grade edmonds purely because of the size and price 11$ which means i have baking staples at the ready any time i need it 😊

Great video, thank you. I'm still learning every day with bread making. One thing I don't like about some of the recipes I've tried is that the yeast flavour comes through more than I'd like. I'm not a natural in the kitchen so everything gets measured/weighed meticulously, so it's definitely the recipes.

Personally I always use Edmonds dry east in sachets. I found over the years that works best for me. It stays good in sachets which I can not say for once that are loose .That is if you don' bake every day. One thing I find pitty is that it is so ahrd to find fresh yeast which is commonly used in Europe .I di find some in Gilmours but you had to buy Ikg block! Thank you for sharing. Cheers

I did a bread making course many moons ago and we used yeast with warm water and a teaspoon of sugar to feed it and make it rise up , with the flour we added a teaspoon of the improver then and poured the water/ yeast into it .

I’am hopeless

Thanks Sarah, did you bake them all at the same time? Im wondering as the breadmakers loaf was first in, if you cooked them separately, the others may have over proofed? Anyhow, I know I will be buying the breadmakers one from now on, thank you!

The last one seems slightly fluffier and lighter, so I guess it’s a preference thing. Great job Sarah. Thank you.

Great ❤ cheers 8)

Here's a link to my simple bread recipe 🙂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/epTQpXWDmKyMZrs

Have you ever made sourdough starter. I had been trying for 5 wks, but couldn't get it to double 3 days in a row, or sometimes it took longer than it should. Have been seeing so many posts about mould and pink spots, and became so paranoid that I thought I saw mould in mine and threw it away this morning, so I think I'll probably stick to this yeast instead 😢😢😢.

Awesome recipe I might try in the weekend

beautiful outcome, well done

Thank you so much

If you're going hydro... Stay away from all the liquid nutrients..... 1.. you need a pH meter.. cheap one will due 2... You need pH down... pH up... 3. all purpose 10-10-10. And 2-10-10... granular But dissolve in water before you add to your plant water... don't add the undissolved granules into plant water Add a pinch of 10-10-10 until it fruits ..then switch to 2-10-10... Add a pinch every second time you add new water... Keep your water pH to 6.0 - 7.0 Keep your water level just touching the net pot ..keep your lights about 24 inches to the plant... Temps 72-80 degrees.. humidity 50--62... Water TDS around 500 and ur good .. if you don't keep your water ph'd between 6 and 7.0 the plant most likely won't grow ... but it will live Some soils like compost have the ability to turn high pH to neutral... But for Hydro you must pH down... Or the plant will starve due to nutrient lock out Also add a bubbler or air stone inside the pot so roots won't suffocate and water won't be stagnant... You need an air gap ..roots will grow down into water

this is not a nutrient or bug isue i also think your problem is in the root zone i doubt oxygen is lacking that much, but a normal airpump for a fishtank would solve that.. are the temps stable, hydrophonic is not forgiving when it comes to temps. and it looks like the plants was doing great, no discolering or anything it looks like it was something that came pretty fast soil is the solution if you dont have a stable environment

Air Stones

Why are you wasting your time on skippy dead plants, whe you can be growing Green Gold

Sou brasileiro, e fico muito feliz por seu vídeo ter a opção de traduzir o áudio. Vocês cultivam em estufas também?

Will we see a 2025 grocery price haul update? Love all your videos sarah! Going to make your 3 ingredient sponge cake tomorrow 🎉❤😊

My roosters leg were a bit red, as well as having a bad case of scaly leg mites, so I mixed up vaseline with zinc and caster oil cream (could just use caster oil on its own) the zinc soothes the redness and suffocates the mites along with the Vaseline. My roosters legs are looking so much better. I'll keep applying it till they are 100%.

Those lights look like temu/aliexpress cheapies. They put out substantially less power than advertised. Put them closer to the plant , 12 inch away ish, good luck. Stick to dirt for sure

They look tasty and healthy. Bet there are non left.

Es lo mas importante en un cultivo hidroponico la oxigenacion del agua, por que el agua quieta se queda sin oxigeno rapidamente y pudre la raiz... es mas facil el cultivo organico y se hace sin soluciones con humus y guano intercalados como alimentacion bastara y agua a ph 6 a 7

Lo ideal es que el agua circule o inyectarle oxygeno por medio de una air pump al agua una se comprar en los acuarios. Para recicular el agua se pone una bomba de cascada y se conectan los recipientes con tubos al fianal todo debe llegar a un tanque donde la bomba vuelve a recicular el agua y la oxigena.

Bought 2 showerdomes over the years. Got home n garden show discounts incl install. Happy.

I always rinse my eggs before using it which is probably why it has that metallic taste

So I guess the whole idea behind this is so you can grow tomatoes over winter. I got a greenhouse I just sorta spent more time fixing the greenhouse and the panels flying off than actually gardining so the tomato plants went haywire. I got some tomatoes though just waiting for them to change colour. So if you grow tomatoes over winter isn't the power bill going to be horrendous?

Kratky style! If you don't want to abandon your setup entirely, switch from tomatoes to leafy greens, which don't need e.g. staking and careful adjustments. I seriously got into this during covid lockdown, growing cabbages which I turned into kimchi. This was in a small one-bedroom flat, so it stayed "warm enough" all year long. Unfortunately, I had to get rid of all my stuff when I moved into a smaller place. If there's one thing I'd love to try is hydroponic _wasabi_ in buckets ("space buckets"). If I had enough room, it might even lead to some cash ($400 per kilo, I hear!). Even a bowl of the leaves will set you back a heap of cash at a restaurant.

Trailer and era is the best learning. Bet you can’t wait to try each $20 tomato 😉

I was wondering how this project is going. I suppose when you start something new is always a long way to get there. So I do believe you will get there in the end.. As long as you get forward. Thank you for sharing. Cheers

I've always found the trough (as in what looks like roof spouting) set up works better for hydro tomatoes and other fruit and veges planted in perlite with the nutrients running underneath them which feeds the root system, getting the nutrient balance right can be tricky

What about carbon dioxide (CO2) at night? CO2 is plant food. Need to string the tomatoes. 😂

This is great Sarah! Wow I’m going back through all your old vids and learning so much!!! Hope to get bees in Spring/Summer 2025

There must be some leeway in this. Yesterday I made boiled eggs with eggs two weeks over the use-by date. They tasted fine. They had quite a large air pocket and they all floated. I was going to toss them out.

I am taking an introductory botany class and read that 90% of plant species are flowering plants. That made me wonder if grasses (including wheat) were flowering plants. That led me here. I never knew until now that wheat produces flowers. Thanks for letting me see what they look like.

I’ve wanted to keep bees for the last four years and hopefully this is the year! Keep your bee vids coming… I’ve got lots to learn! ❤

I will put a pinch of salt. I always do the rubbing in by hand excellent exercise for my aged fingers 😊Less time than time taken to clean food processor, used a glass to cut them out .😊

Just made these yummy biscuits. I think they would make a great biscuit base for cheese cake too😊😊

These look good 😊 and getting that sneeky fibre into my kids 😂 i have a fussy 3 and half year old 😵‍💫. I reckon a blob of golden syrup would go awesome in these 😁.

Great video. I loved Sally Lunn as a child but it seems to be very rare to see them in a bakery these days. A few year's ago I made a Sally Lunn using a different recipe but I am definitely going to try your mashed potato version.

I don’t keep white sugar except for caster. I use brown for everything and haven’t had a problem even for sponge.😊

I just buy the kernals and pop them as needed with my popping machine. I got it for 5 dollars at the sallies. I'd just do that and not do it in big quantities necessitating having to freeze any ideally.

I think I googled how much beekeepers earn the other day and its not that much unfortunately. I guess you could live super rural maybe and have the cheap cost of housing make up for it.
