Aim was to add as little as possible of extra source of sugar to remain close enough to the original birch sap taste. I reduced the sap to reach enough sugar content to get 1 percent ABV (around 18g/liter).
I boiled it all, adding birch bark for extra tannin flavour.
I will ferment half wild (with a bit of extra fresh unboiled sap), and will add yeast for the other half. Still don't know if I will draw it from one of my wild yeast starters or just sprinkle a bit of commercial yeast.

My life right now.

I use dance as a medium for listening better. For me, it is a technology of porosity, contemplation and enchantment. Sometimes, this quality of movement is observed and experienced in unexpected places: in a protest, in a warm embrace, in the darkness of a nightclub, in the magic of singing together or when a fermentation crock bubbles like a jacuzzi in the kitchen.

Super thrilled to take part to @massiasprout art residency in spring time at dear @massiaofficinale in Estonia. I will spend time with my research project 'Spontaneous fermentation: Collaborating with wild yeasts and revealing Massia's terroir'.
Basically doing some food choreography.
Looking forward to meet other participants and share quality time together.

Bubbles have arrived, time for moving to a clean container and discard the leaves. Also, I kind of like using my new siphon pump.

Les bulles sont arrivées, iel est temps de déménager vers un contenant propre et dire au revoir aux feuilles. Admire aussi mon siphon/pompe, j'aime plutôt bien.

Min weekendhøst. Jeg har besøgt den dejlige planteskole @[email protected] og havde lyst til at tage et 'snapshot' af deres lækre planter i starten af juni måned. Jeg kom hjem med bladfennikel, sødskærm, mynte, lodden løvefod og solbærblade (rabarber er bare blevet til en kompot). Jeg har brugt dem både til vilde gærstartere og til at samle dem i en stor krukke, som forhåbentlig kan nydes som en drik til sommersolhverv eller sommerferie. Hvis der ikke kommer bobler, er jeg klar til at bruge champagnegær. Jeg er ikke en purist og kan godt lide det hidsigt.

Extending the celebration of spontaneous fermented beers to the Fediverse... "During the month of February we put beers from spontaneous fermentation in the spotlight! Who's in? Just post and enjoy them! Cheers."

(old/migrated content) Tepache bubbling away, this was delicious when it finished. Just pineapple rinds, sugar and wild yeast, mostly.

Occursum // Brasserie Ammonite & La Bierothèque
Bière de fermentation spontanée élevée sur un lie de fleurs de cerisier issue d'un vieillissement total de 19 mois : 12 mois de Montagny 1er cru puis 7 mois de finition en fut de bourbon. Un délice ! Un joli équilibre des saveurs, peu d'acidité, des notes florales et fruitées et beaucoup de douceur en fin de dégustation #craftbeer #biereartisanale #houblon #malt #instabeer #beerstagram #beergeek #beertasting #brasserieammonite #bierespontanée #sourother #fermentationspontanée #spontaneousfermentation

What are you drinking this evening? Here, for once, no #wine, but we decided upon a bottle of "wild sour #ale with ancient peaches" made by a local #craftbeer producer. Not entirely sure about the ancient peaches but I'm enjoying it. 🍻#spontaneousfermentation #eatlocal #drinklocal
