========================
➡️COMMON QUESTIONS:
1. HOW TO STORE:
Keep on the counter or in a cupboard with a somewhat loose lid. No refrigeration needed. Lasts for months. To keep feeding the probiotics, add a 1-2 tsp (5-10g) sweetener every 10-14 days. If you don't continue to feed the probiotics, they will die off. The sweetener can be any kind of honey, maple syrup, molasses or cane sugar. Do not use stevia, it will not work.
If it seems to die off over a month or so, just start a fresh batch. You'll know it's no longer active when it smells like plain water with honey instead of a slight sweet/sour smell that is common with fermentation.
2. HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Lasts for months so long as you keep up regular feedings.
3. HOW MUCH TO DRINK? I cannot recommend what is best for you, but here is what I do... I consume a few tablespoons a day by adding it over my salad, to a smoothie or to my water bottle. I personally do not measure out how much I take, I just splash it in here and there throughout the day. I do not consume more than 4 tablespoons each day. I eat a lot of other probiotic-rich, fermented foods so this is not my only source of probiotics.
4. WHAT BRAND OF PROBIOTICS? I use Garden Of Life amzn.to/39Y6n4B
5. WATER: Avoid water with chlorine like city tap. City tap water has a lot of other toxic residues in it such as pharmaceuticals + other chemicals that could interfere with a healthy fermentation. In my opinion, it's best to avoid using it for fermenting. You can use filtered water, distilled, bottled, non-chlorinated well water, etc.
6. HONEY ALTERNATIVES: Alternatives that also work are maple syrup, molasses, agave, and unbleached cane sugar. Do not use stevia, it will not work.
⭐SCROLL DOWN FOR DIRECTIONS!
➡️DIRECTIONS For A Brand New Batch of Probiotic Water:
• Pour room temperature pure water into the sterile quart or liter size glass jar. Pure water can be filtered, distilled, spring or well. No chlorine.
• Add about (5-10g) 1-2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup or sugar
• Add about 1/2 capsule of probiotics. Exact measurement is not needed.
• Put a loose lid on the jar and allow it to sit in warm place for 3-5 days. The countertop is just fine.
➡️DIRECTIONS For a Renewed Batch of Probiotic Water:
• Save the last 1/4 to 1/3 portion of the probiotic water (this is your starter). If the fermentation seems to be losing strength, you can add another 1/2 capsule to the starter portion.
• Pour room temperature pure water into the glass jar
• Add about 1-2 teaspoons (5-10g) of honey, maple syrup or sugar
• Put a loose lid on the jar and allow it to sit in warm place for 3-5 days. The countertop is just fine. Tip: Keep multiple jars of probiotic water in rotation so you never run out!

Another good additive for fermentation for feeding probiotics is mollases. I think honey may be a healthier option but if you're stuck, molasses will work very well also. Maple syrup is another safe and tasty sugar that can be used.🙂👍🙏🙏🙏

[@DanteVelasquez]

Or even plain sugar

[@PoppaBadger]

@@DanteVelasquez Plain sugar will also work, yes. But the problem with table sugar is that it is too "processed" and some of the chemicals and processes used to make sugar can make it a lesser option, but still somewhat effective. Table sugar is very clean and purified. Other less processed and natural sugars, such as cane, molasses, and honey do not have to go through as many purification processes and are much more organic in nature and carry certain positive ingredients that might be removed during processing, as sugar is. Brown and more unprocessed sugars, maple sugar (one of my favorite additives) can definitely be used with great success. Processed sugar will do the job but it's kinda like taking Tylenol regular strength for a migraine. It may help but it won't do what other meds will completely. 😉👍🙏🙏🙏

[@DanteVelasquez]

@@PoppaBadger Agreed. I use table sugar for a lot of my fermentations though and it works fine, and I often accompany it with puréed apple or pear depending on what I’m making.

[@PoppaBadger]

@@DanteVelasquez In terms of wine and ingestible fermentation I would have to say that you're correct as to using sugar because you'd want the cleanest means to ferment something you're going to eat. I'm going to google wine fermentation and see if they use sucrose or something specific,so be right back...OK, hello again.lol Apparently glucose and fructose are the most commonly used "sugars" for stuff you ingest. I have to be honest though, I have a friend who used to make a strawberry wine/liquor with table sugar and IT WAS GOOD!!!🤣👍🙏🙏🙏

[@DanteVelasquez]

@@PoppaBadger Haha I actually do make wine, beer and hard seltzer my self and the plain sugar is what I use for the reasons you said (I add raisin puree though to further feed the yeast). But when I make kimchi or other vegetable ferments like chili sauces or capture yeast water there is always fruit with it. I don't use honey because I don't like stealing Bee food, but I am going to have to try maple syrup and dates for some things. I just made the connection that the raisins are the key factor for making my wined batches more active so table sugar is indeed inferior, but necessary when you don’t want to add other flavors 🙂

Hello from Philly! I just found your channel, and I’m really excited to try fermentation. A few years ago, I had septicemia from appendicitis, and was in ICU for almost a week. I was placed on 3 different antibiotics for several weeks. It totally destroyed my gut bacteria. I developed Hashimoto’s, and have never been the same since. I cut out dairy and gluten from my diet about 6 months ago, and it’s helped. I’m hoping adding probiotics to my diet will help me heal even more. Thanks for bringing this wonderful content to the world.

[@esemmanuel6603]

Amazing ! I was just diagnosed with hypothyroidism too, with a decades history of antibiotic damage followed with decades of intestinal damage and blockage. I drank kefir/yogurt for years then noticed that my stomach began to heal when I gave up gluten and dairy (kefir is best tolerated but I find it unneeded as cabbage does much better). Gluthione helps restore the gut lining too; I don’t take Big Pharma drugs for my thyroid, it’s amazing how nutrition and supplements/vitamins work, restoring the actual problem rather then taking poison for symptoms which will later create a need for other pills. So many problems stem from the gut; approx %70 of the immune system is located in the gut as well as, over %90 of our neurotransmitters, this all the problems are integrated. How’s everything working out for you …… ? I’d love to hear an update……… ; )

In all my years, I never saw this recipe. I do kombucha, milk kefir and make my own sauerkraut so I'm big on pro-biotics. I will be adding this to my lineup and so thankful for your channel.

[@esemmanuel6603]

Ooooh….. You sound like you e been doing this a while and I’d love your input. I’m looking for a good Kumbacha recipe to start, did you follow hers, or what do you do ? I gave up dairy and kefir has always been very powerful. What’s your take on the strength of the difference of the methods, homemade ? Which is the most powerful with the most strains out of all them you make, kefir, water grains, Kumbacha and/or cabbage .. ?? I’m curious as to know also, certain strains work for different things so I’d like to figure out how many strains of what are in each of these.

[@shepirate]

@@esemmanuel6603 Making kombucha from scratch takes time so be patient. Buy a bottle of store bought Kombucha (Synergy is the best) with the mother in it, and add it to weak black tea & sugar to start a SCOBI from scratch. #1. Pour filtered water from a large Ball canning jar (or bigger container if you have it) into a large sauce pan and bring the water to a boil. #2. Then steep 3 black tea bags (more if you have a bigger container) and enough sugar to make a sweet tea and let set until it cools down to slightly warm. #3. Pour the bottle of Kombucha in it and cover with a clean cloth and secure with a rubber band. #4. Let set for about a month and you'll see a SCOBI forming on the top. Try not to disturb it so the SCOBI doesn't sink to the bottom but if it does, it's fine. Once you have a good SCOBI, remove it, and toss the old tea that should be quite vinegary. Then begin the process over again and taste test it every week until it ferments to your preferred taste. Just keep repeating the process with the same SCOBI until a new baby develops and then throw out the old and use the new. After the 1st fermentation you can add fruit to it and let sit in the fridge to develop more flavor. If you find it's too sweet cut back on the sugar but remember that the SCOBI needs the sugar to feed on. The black tea adds a bit of flavor and color. You can store your SCOBI in the fridge indefinitely as long as you feed it fresh Kombucha from time to time. With Kefir (water or milk) you have to buy the seeds on Amazon as they're hard to find even in a health food store because they have to be kept alive. RE: info on the different strains, I don't know. I just try to keep several ferments going and hope for the best. Sauerkraut is super easy and while I'm sure there is a recipe here, I find Mary's Nest a good source too. I make a big batch of Cabbage, Carrots and Beets (referred to as Rainbow Sauerkraut) so it lasts a long time. Hope this helps! Enjoy being healthy!

Added pro-biotic pill, covered/sealed for 4 days. Just starting to get a good bubble and mild alcohol content. Amazing soda taste, with no rhubarb sourness. The diced bits taste like stewed apple, and it smells like wine. I need to dilute that mix with about equal parts water for sweetness, so it goes fairly far.

I suggest you find some slippery elm powder/tea. I found mine at a health food store co-op. It’s for people and animals. You add water and it makes kind of a thick tea. I added some to my pup’s dogfood or put some in a little dish for him to drink it. You can give daily or as needed. It will stop tummy upset, diarrhea, constipation, vomiting. This very cheap NATURAL alternative replaced the RX dogfood we were buying at $75/bag.

[@haraldtheyounger5504]

I'll try this out in my yogurt maker. I've been making yogurt for years, mostly with full fat organic dairy milk, as plant milks don't do so well without adding extra sugar. One thing I can tell you is that most probiotics sold in health shops, in stores, and online are totally dead. I've tried fermenting the likes of L. Plantarum, L. Reuteri, S. Boulardii, etc, from the main Brands, all I ended up with was emulsified sour stinking milk... and wasting hundreds in the process. The Bulgarian cultures I use never fail, but they are not out of capsules, crushed tablets, nor drops. I renew these cultures every year as I found they stop reproducing after that time, and the yogurt won't set nor does it smell proper (too sour). I have used Kefir too, but that didn't agree with me at all. Gave me constipation every time, even when fermented in sugar water. So yes, a good culture will kick start fermentation. I've even used good yogurt from the supermarkets, and they worked, whereas as I said, the capsules/tablets/drops all failed. However, I have never used Garden of Life products, so I'll experiment a bit. Using your method and in the yogurt maker which maintains a stable temperature. I'll have a look at the results under the microscope too. One suggestion, just used a clean linen cloth to wipe away the scum at the top of the jar or a glass keg with a tap attached to the bottom. You can get these with a cork on the top, so that could remain loose if necessary!

Making Kombucha is not intimidating because I did it along with 2 friends. Each of ours died in 2 years and we dont know why. It was full of hyaluronic acid and the one thing we all noticed was no one had anymore cold sores. I put my ‘Mother’ in the dining room. It smelled awful, like pure vinegar and every visitor commented. At least try it. Wish we were closer, Id ask for a ‘Mother’ from you.

My husband is an EXTREMELY picky eater, and has been for his nearly 49 years of life; mostly, it's a texture thing. Because of this, and because of my own previous ignorance on the wonder of fermentation, I used to have a hard time convincing him to try new things. He really enjoys sauerkraut, so I am going to start him with some that is fermented, and perhaps one day we will add a second refrigerator just to keep our fermented products from spoiling and to have plenty on hand to share. He is completely skeeved out by the mere thought of kombucha because I told him it was fermented tea... a rookie mistake that I know better than to repeat. I think I might be able to convince him with the second ferment for kombucha, as long as he has no idea what he is drinking beforehand. The man is a tank with no food allergies, and I am a creative individual; in other words, he is my guinea pig for a lot of recipes made in an effort to find the ways he enjoys eating certain foods he dislikes the texture of. Thank you for all of your wonderful videos on the subject; I am learning quite a bit from you.

@@davidadausuel4537 Thank you for your comment; I can understand after rereading why you would come to that conclusion. Allow me to clarify: we have been married for almost 20 years, and "Guinea Pig" is a pet name that many culinarily creative people (with a sense of humor) give to their significant other whom they trust the most to tell them the truth about a recipe. My husband is a more than willing participant in this little experiment to increase our nutrient intake, he has been fully informed and given consent. There truly is nothing deceptive about what is happening in my kitchen; we shop together, he knows exactly what is in the cart at check out, and we have an agreement that I can't tell him what is in something until after he has had at least two bites. This is due to the fact that, like a child, the mere mention of certain ingredient will send him running; HE made the decision that I had a better chance of getting him to eat something if he doesn't know what is in the dish. You know what? It has worked gangbusters for my picky eating hunk! He went from being someone who would only eat a few things to now helping me grow a garden filled with fruits and vegetables that he used to despise. I hope that this answered your question; enjoy your day.

You can use non pasteurisized fermentation foods like Sauerkraut, rejuvelac etc.. Adding sugar is not necessary if you put some grain into the water. If you fermented different vegetables you receive many kinds of probiotic bacteria, which you can cultivate them. You can use the sour liquid of your fermentation products as a starter for yoghurt in milk or soy-bean-juice.

So what I did is I put 6 pieces of chickpeas and half tablespoon of vegan dandelion honey in 500 ml water. After 2 days I saw the bubbles which is the indication of fermentation.

I would personally use distilled water, and maybe boil it then cool it to remove other pre-existing bacteria. The bacteria just feed on the honey. That’s just what I would think though

[@reasoningtruth]

@@animekittycat95 The reason why I asked is that I use to ferment water kefir, and they would need lots of minerals in their water. Molasses without the sulfur is what they would love to eat. Tap water would kill them because of the chlorine and fluoride, but if you tried to use distilled water they would die on contact of the water. They would thrive on heavily mineralized water, but it had to be clean.

[@PoppaBadger]

Only one problem. When you buy capsules, you're getting different strains of probiotics and at a certain amount. How do you know if your "soup" is strong enough, not too strong and which probiotics actually used the honey and reproduced. I believe different strains react differently to the honey and may not be "sugar-eaters" which may deem certain strains unable to reproduce, ending with a probiotic soup that has only 1 or 2 strains, as opposed to the original 5 strains which came in the capsule. A great idea but I'm unsure about the lack of standardization with this process. Great video because you can use this idea for many different applications.👍🙂🙏🙏🙏

[@LibraryLizard]

Are you an engineer?

[@PoppaBadger]

No, I'm not but I am very interested and have been reading a lot of material about probiotics, as they have other very good applications other then just gastrointestinal health. Probiotics (beneficial bacteria) can be useful in gardening, fermentation and can be used as a safe cleanser for many things. I cured myself of C. dif by using heavy amounts of probiotics after waiting a year for tests to confirm what I already knew. So, I am a huge fan of probiotics and am still trying to gain more knowledge of all the different strains of probiotics and what different combinations can help with and I will say that there is definitive evidence that probiotics can help the body in ways you'd never think unless you've done quite a bit of research.🙂👍🙏🙏🙏

Just a question, honey has anti-bacterial properties, wouldn't that kill off the probiotic? I see that you are successful in making the probiotic water with honey, I'm just wondering how it's possible. I am addicted to your fermenting videos, love to watch them. I followed the sauerkraut one and my ferment is in day three and bubbling like crazy, can't wait to eat it.

[@CleanFoodLiving]

Honey does not kill probiotics. I ferment many things with honey added and it always super feeds the ferment, not hinder. Its antibacterial properties are for only certain types of pathogens and as nature designs things perfectly, the good bacteria are not negatively affected.

[@DanDeLeoninthefield]

Since undiluted honey has relatively little water, any bacteria or spores that get into it cannot grow or grow very slowly. This is similar to the way that salt acts as an antimicrobial. The numbers of bacteria never become so great as to cause trouble. Also remember that when adding the capsule bacteria to the water, you are adding them in an overwhelming number. These capsule bacteria will quickly crowd out other bacteria and fungi that have gotten into the water or were in the honey.

[@saphiamertens]

honey mostly is anti-bacterial due to its very very low water content. it rips apart bacteria and makes them unable to survive within honey. But when you dilute it with water, bacteria can thrive.

[@mercedeslopez2655]

It works because the honey kills the bad germs ,not the good getms😊

I love this recipe and how easy it was to make. I’ve been putting some in our smoothies and salad dressings as stated. I am curious if any probiotics live past the acid in the stomach. Thank you for the wonderful information and recipes, I’m learning so much.

[@CleanFoodLiving]

Some are killed off, but some gets through too. It's my belief that consuming probiotics with food helps with the survival rate because it buffers the contact with the stomach acid.... it's not he brunt force of exposure like if taken alone. 2 more points I have, #1 I see the importance of probiotics with each meal (reasonable intake, not overdoing it) because that 'some that get through' is multiplied by the multiple consumption throughout the day vs once and done. It adds up, but not in an overwhelming way to the system. #2 our ancestors had healthy guts because they ate fermented foods, not because they took capsules that were enterically coated. So to me, that's evidence that probiotics DO survive the stomach acids. Also, bacteria like giardia and salmonella enter the body by the food and water we consume.... they go through our stomachs and then multiply and cause havoc in the gut (thats when we feel sick). They are bacteria.... and they can't enter the gut without some having survived the stomach acid. Probiotics are bacteria too! To sum up, with all bacteria good and bad, some die, some make it through. 😃

[@user-tj3ze5pr7t]
