It's another chore day, which means kombucha processing (as well as dishes, laundry, and ttrpg podcast tasks). Watermelon was included in the recent rescued produce pickup, so that's the flavor for the second fermentations I set up today. Spent a bit of time with my potato masher and the wedges of watermelon.

I got the privilege to be invited to meet the wonderful team and eat at Blue Hill restaurant at Stone Barns during my stay in New York City and this will stay with me as a marquant and warm memory.
Lovely, dedicated and attentive people. Very generous.

They make magic with vegetables.
And forage and harvest from their own woods, gardens and fields.
You can for example order a drink at the bar from one corner of the land.

I ate on a high table for three and a half hour a menu that was created specifically for me.

Things have definitely quietened down in the grape vinegar fermentation department. Previously, altho the bubbling was easing, once it was stirred there would be a renewed oxygenated effort. But today, very little fermentation.

As I understand it, this is as it should be, and we are heading towards straining time.

It's about at this point in the video I am using (in conjunction with a couple of articles, but the video is a good guide),

Today was another kombucha processing day. The apple butter worked well as a second fermentation flavor last time, so this time I'm trying a bottle with pumpkin butter. The other two flavors I did last time were surprisingly even more delicious. I don't have oranges on hand anymore, but it is prime lemon season here, so I have once again done some bottles with honey, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
