Guest guest Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hi, A gal from a local list has a problem with kraut smelling and tasting like beer. I figured there was probably some yeast in the mix somehow and told her to have it during Oktoberfest <g>. But has anyone here had such experience? Is there a concern? BTW, I did refer her to the group. Thank you for any clues, Deanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Deanna, When I first started fermenting in my house, I had pretty darn awful results. Now that I have Kefir and Kombucha constantly chugging away in my fermentation corner, I don't seem to have issues. I think it may have something to do with the bacterial balance of the house. Another thing to consider is if someone is brewing beer in the house - where is it being stored in relation to the kraut? -Lana On 2/24/06, Deanna Wagner <hl@...> wrote: > > Hi, > > A gal from a local list has a problem with kraut smelling and tasting > like beer.
