Curing tobacco - Tabak fermenteren

Curing tobacco with external heating in two day's.

[@jurgenjonsen1779]

Excellent video, Martin. I really like the simplicity of your method and the mill/shredder looks great! Good job!

[@jackcaven9614]

I use an electric food processor to shred my leaves ,like you I roll them into a tube , I use the vegetable cutting attachment , cuts it very finely for rolling tobacco

[@lordvicious5638]

Dankie vir die informasie Martin ;)

[@gangs0846]

Great! Fermenting or flue curing is really necessary for hookah tobacco where you don't want the taste of the tobacco itself? You add flavour mixtures. I can buy Virginia leaf's however they are not fermtented nor flue cured. I need to boil them before mixing with flavours however I am unsure if flue curing is necessary (also in terms of ammonia, not sure if it disappears while boiling also)

[@johnboone6486]

Thanks Martin, great tips regarding curing can you tell me where you got your mill (cutting device) from?

[@remiklaasen]

Love it did it.. geen tuin meer helaas

[@DanaBidlake]

Chop the stems up and use them in the soil your growing in. or boil them up into brown water put into a spray bottle and use it on the greens of other plants to prevent bugs eating everything up.

[@mpvg1]

Oh yes! Also useful in a chicken overnight place against the bugs.

Zou dit ook werken met een elektronisch weck ketel? Die kun je vaak instellen van 30 tot 100 graden en er kan water en een rooster in waar je de blaadje op kunt leggen.

Hello, Martin, this system you used to ferment tobacco, is a common pot, did you make it? or was purchased. If you did it, can you show or send the schematic? thanks

[@heakeyheakey8844]

Do you leave the lid on wen ufermenting thanks

[@Asterixus0769]

Nice, easy, simple, good job!

[@whitefordpipeshandmadebymi7238]

Cool information ... what kind of tobacco is that?

[@samhudson8836]

How important is this step to the tobacco process

[@mpvg1]

Very important, it gives the tobacco a much nicer taste and aroma.

[@j.olacio5298]

@@TheFredkentwhat about using a rice cooker to ferment the leaves?

[@j.olacio5298]

@@TheFredkent the longest I've used it was 2 weeks to make black garlic. You leave it on warm and it stays at a steady temperature.

[@paulchambers826]

HI Martin, just a quick question, I have tried this, not exactly the way you did it, my leaves were already de-stemmed before i cooked them, what I did was cook the leaves in a slow cooker or croc pot if you like. The leaves sat in a collander which then sat over the pot with water in it, the temperature was average 50c. The collander has holes in the bottom so there was air flow and moisture from the pot to the leaves, so, after 3 days I dried out some of the cooked tobacco it it still tastes bitter, I haven't flavoured it or anything, this is just a mixed batch of Golden Virginia and Yellow Twist leaves, any ideas?

[@mpvg1]

Yes I think so. If you cook the leaves, all bacteria you need to ferment the leaves are death. They are responsabele for the proces. So don't cook them, and use mono glycerine afterwards to preserve the leaves agains fungus grow. It will burn better, and stays humid. Succes.

[@paulchambers826]

Hi again Martin, thanks for the reply, much appreciated. The leaves were not cooked as such, more or less what you did yourself, the leaves sat in a collander, similar to what you would drain pasta in with holes in it, the collander sat on top of the slow cooker which had water in it so the heat and steam from the pot went through the bottom of the collander and then to the leaves themselves, the temperature was around 50c. Do you think I need to keep them in for longer?

[@mpvg1]

I always use 3 days, if longer they get easy to tear apart. Did you measure the temperature between the leaves? must be 50 - 55 Celsius. Then it should work. The leaves must be soaking wet. Check the temperature.

[@paulchambers826]

Thank you very much, will give that a try

Hello my dear brother I have about 100 kg of dry green tobacco and I want to become yellow or brown what to do for him

[@ZKRITTEX]

#Martin van Gijn how do you add the flavours and what you use for it?

[@mpvg1]

+1990fssm I don't use any flavors, but mixing the different leaves of the different plants. Example 50% Burley - 50% Virginia. Mid strong. 30% Burley - 70% Virginia light. And 33% Burley, 33% Virginia, 33% Orient wil give a mid aromatic blend. Don't forget to at the glycerine (mono) otherwise it wil be get full of fungus in day's.

[@voornaamachternaam771]

Great video, thanks. In which step of the proces do you add glycerine? and how do you do that?

[@dankgenetics3671]

Your voice is identical to the world famous man from strain hunters

[@naturegazer5348]

Where did you get your shredding machine? Love your technique! Your slim pointy long leaves could be of the Little Dutch variety or perhaps Del Gold Good Video thanks for the alternative to the fermentation process and more importantly re-creating a dark shag style smoke. Happy Days

[@mpvg1]

naturegazer Found IT on eBay. It came from Poland.

[@naturegazer5348]

thank-you Martin

[@krisb2624]

Buy an electric paper shredder ahah

[@e.vendeville368]

Which tobacco variety is the tobacco coming from??

[@mpvg1]

virginia, and burley

[@elcano56]

Can you please tell me a turbo fast fermentation method without any equipment I don't care so much about the quality I want to get rid of the ammonia

[@user-rd7jo8vc9k]

nice! maar waar kan je de molen kopen waar u het tabak in doet ik heb op een filmpe van iemand gezien die deed het met een spagetti snijder

[@mpvg1]

Ja een spaghetti molen werkt niet echt. Als je zoekt op E bay naar: shredder tobacco, daar staat hij tussen.

[@topplate100]

@@mpvg1 heb je een link waar je die shredders kunt kopen? dank je

[@bluesboydude]

Hallo martin van gijn, waar raad jij aan het verwarmings element te kopen? groeten pascal bredius

[@mpvg1]

Ligt er een beetje aan wat voor ketel je gaat gebruiken. Maar je zou kunnen kijken bij de handyman. Een element van 150 à 300 Watt. En je kunt dan ook direct een thermostaat erbij kunnen kopen die je kunt instellen op rond de 55 graden. Ook Conrad verkoopt van dit soort spul. Succes!

[@bluesboydude]

+Martin van Gijn Hartstikke bedankt!! Ik zit te denken aan zo'n zelfde ketel die jij gebruikt!

[@bluesboydude]

+Martin van Gijn Ik ben nu met een experiment bezig om te kijken of dit werkt: de tabak in een zipbag doen, lichtelijk besproeien met vocht en op de verwarming leggen, het is dan tussen de 30 en 40 graden dus het zal wel langer duren dan 2 dagen maar het is het proberen waard aangezien zo'n element misschien veel stroom verbruikt!

[@mpvg1]

Als het maar werkt uiteraard. Alleen is de kans op schimmel groot als je op deze temperaturen gaat zitten. Dus probeer eerst een klein beetje. Anders zonde van je werk.

[@pastorfuzz367]

Tape on your slippers?

[@mpvg1]

Duck tape, keeping the soil out ha ha.

[@kawmic7]

is it for pipe and will you sell some?

[@mpvg1]

Michael Nielsen Can be used for pipe also. I can't sell you, it's only allowed for home use in my country.

Of Nederlandse ondertiteling erbij maken, graag. Het is wel de moeite waard.
