Thanks. Have fun!

Homemade kvass is the best. Really unique taste, refreshing and fizzy. I have always used sugar, ill have to give wort a try

[@RyeAvenue]

You will be pleasantly surprised

Never knew about wort being used for kvass making. I am very curious about kvass made with wort. Can't wait for that video 😊

[@RyeAvenue]

The taste of kvass made with wort is very different, and much better. The video is coming up soon !

[@RitaShapiro]

Prevetuly! I love Kvas! I never found kvas here like we had back home! But now I can! I will come over and drink yours 😂. All jokes aside. I love your recipes. I will try one day to make it. Love you miss! See you soon I hope.

[@RyeAvenue]

Thank you 😊 😘. I'm sure you will love it! When I made it with wort for the first time, it was a huge OMG moment. I haven't tasted kvass like that in over 30 years. They don't have the old kvass in Ukraine anymore, idk about Russia. Even bread, Ukraine was famous for, is gone 😔. Give me a call when you are in town. We'll get together ❤️🍺🍺

Fantastic! Thank you so much for making such a carefully researched and informative lesson. Here the weather is getting hotter and I can imagine it will be a perfect summer cordial, refreshing and with great health benefits. 😃

I've never even heard of "okroshka" ! Very intriguing! When you have the time and energy, perhaps you can share with us what is okroshka??

[@RyeAvenue]

Tomorrow, I will record Okroshka . If all goes well 🤞, video will be published on Thursday or Friday night.

[@planetrachel]

@@RyeAvenue That's great! I'll look forward to watching that, but I understand recording and editing videos is very time and energy consuming.

[@zimtt1276]

😯That looks yummy. So nice to see such healthy recipes. Could I use a regular wheat sourdough starter to start this process? Thanks for posting.

[@RyeAvenue]

Thank you. Yes, you can absolutely use wheat sourdough starter.

Thanks for the recipe! Did you ever find store bought kvass that tastes the same as homemade one?

[@RyeAvenue]

You are welcome. No, I have never found a store bought that would taste the same. I had material prepared to highlight why the store bought is different, but I decided to drop it. The store bought kvass is made with ingredients that mimic the real kvass but have no nutritional value. Real kvass doesn't have a long shelf life because it is a very much alive drink. When I was testing how much sugar and diastatic malt was safe to use and how long it could last, I had few volcanic eruptions... One time, it even blew off top of the bottle. Store bought kvass is artificially carbonated, and homemade kvass builds up carbonation due its to bacteria and enzymes.

[@DalVal-qq5sc]

Can you combine sugar and diastatic malt powder in both stages of kvass making? Or does it have to be only one?

[@RyeAvenue]

Yes, you can. Just use smaller amounts of each.

[@DalVal-qq5sc]

Thanks, I will try.

[@SebastianLarsen]

But... Alcohol content?

[@RyeAvenue]

Anything naturally fermented will have alcohol content. Kvass will have anywhere from 0.5 to 2.5 if fermented for longer( month and beyond).

[@AedanBlackheart]

Minimal, take gravity reading if you want an accurate measure lol
