Hey beautiful people, After 3 years I am still getting daily comments and responses to this vdo from literally every corner of this planet and it is beautiful, heartwarming and motivating. Thank you all for this. Many people ask if the plastic bottles don´t leech harmfull chemmies. I am no expert but would say it would be better to brew in glass bottles but this makes it more difficult and less accessible to many people. If you have glass bottles and airlocks etc then go ahead and use them. Just make sure there is not much air in the bottle and make sure you can still shake or agitate the liquid. If you have no glass bottles but still want to benefit from probiotics then just use plastic. For me the benefits outweigh the possible negative effects of possible leeching plastic. Besides this, many people might not use it for human consumption but for the many other purposes. For the people who ask about the contents of the micro organisms and vitamins and minerals: I am not sure if the scientific research is done yet but here is an estimate from my teacher Takashi Hirasawi which can be found on the lacto-life.com website: COMPONENTS LACTO contains more than 80 kinds of bacteria (*3) and more than 60 kinds of nutrients. Some of the nutrients in LACTO are extracted from brown rice, and some of them are produced by the bacteria growing in the culture. The amount of bacteria and nutrients will depend on the culture conditions and, in comparison with normal food and drinks, the nutrients in LACTO have been already digested by bacteria breaking them down to be fully and easily absorbed into the body. BACTERIA (MICROORGANISMS) found in LACTO Lactic Acid Bacteria: Lactobacillus. Yeast: Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Kouji Bacteria (Aspergillus) Acetic Acid Bacteria (Acetobacster), Bacillus Subtilis, Butyric Acid Bacteria (Clostridium Butyricum) Actinobacteria, Cyanobacteria, Phototrophic Bacteria and Enzymes. NUTRIENTS(*4) found in LACTO Carbohydrate Starch (Amylose, Amylopectin） Fiber Soluble dietary fiber: Oryzabran Insoluble dietary fiber: Arabinoxylan GAG (Glycosaminoglycan): Chondroitin Sulfate, Hyaluronic Acid, RBA/RBF Protein (Amino acid) Essential: Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Valine Non essential: Alanine, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, Cysteine, Glutamic Acid, Glycine, Ornithine, Proline, Selenocysteine, Serine, Tyrosine Peptide, Cytokine (Phytohormone, Peptide), Nisin (Bacteriocin, Peptide) DNA, RNA, GABA Lipid Complex Lipid: Sphingolipid (Ceramide) Fatty Acid: ω-6 Linolenic acid/ω-9 Olenic acid SCFA: Short Chain Fatty Acids, Lactic Acid, Acetic Acid, Formic Acid, Propionic Acid, Butyric Acid, Oryzanol-Ferulic Acid (Phytochemical), Sitosterol (Phytosterol) Vitamin Vitamin B1 (Thiamin), Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid), Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine), Vitamin B9=M (Folic Acid), Vitamin B12 (Hydroxycobalamine) PABA (4-Aminobenzoic Acid), Vitamin E (Tocopherols, Tocotrienols), Vitamin H (Biotin), K Inositol IP6 (Myo-Inositol-6/Phytic Acid) Mineral Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Manganese, Selenium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Zinc *1. Probiotics are microorganisms that provide health benefits to humans and animals. *2. The amount of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) in LACTO can be 1 - 10 million/ml when the process of LACTO has finished with lower acidity level than pH3.6. *3. Bacteria, mold and yeast belong to microorganisms family. When we use the term bacteria in LACTO-LIFE, it’s actually considered microorganisms including mold and yeast. We call them ‘bacteria’ instead of microorganisms because we use mainly the features and effects of Lactic Acid Bacteria, and the bacteria is more popular and easy to call and understand. *4 These nutrients are inferred from the nutrients of brown rice and bacteria. We are going to update the measured components after the scientific research has concluded.
This is a common food for us in southern part of India. We pour water in the left over cooked rice in a mud pot and next day morning its ready as breakfast. Just add some sea salt and yogurt and enjoy with some fresh raw pearl onions and fresh green chilly.
Both are different bacteria. One that's in the air is what ferments cooked, it's way less concentration. Here it's the batteries on the river, is way more concentrated.
+Mary Joe Thanks Mary Joe! Try it out and don't be discouraged if it doesn't work out. Make sure the temperature is right and it will kick off nicely. Good luck!
Very Professional, informative and enjoyable AND in excellent English AND AND with no boring background music so common in too many UA-cam Videos. From Israel.
Love this I have been making kefir every day for 7 years, kombucha brew started in 1990. Adding this to the other two. Thank you!!! Liked and subscribed and shared.
I love this video ! I've made it here in Thailand several times now...and, the BEST use for it , I've found, is as a skin tonic. It's really great for my skin . I just spray it on after my shower. Amazing stuff. Of course I drink it, too. I have some "brewing" now. Sooooo easy. Thanks for this great video , it changed my life ! I've made sauerkraut, kimchi, water kefir, kombucha etc for years but this stuff is amazing !
Great to hear Sean! Yes it works great for skin. Try having a bath in it too. Or a 20 minute foot bath. Works wonder for rinsing hair top after natural shampoo. Where in Thailand are you based? Missing the place!
Hi, I am Georgekutty from India. Thanks for explaining everything in so much detail. It indeed is of great value to us farmers. Please keep up the good work you are doing. Thanks once again.
Happy to hear that Georgekutty :) Messages like these make my day and give me gratefullness. Happy brewing and let us know how it goes and what you use it for :)
I just realised I never said THANK YOU! That was very rude of me. So, THANK YOU so much for the videos that you and your family make for us! Your teacher friend in Thailand must be proud of you. You have also become an awesome teacher!
making it for 2 months now - Everyday Harvest... i use big Glass jugs... I have reused the same rice for 2 months, a batch everyday, 50plus+ times... Yummy straight and mixed with wheatgrass juice, Apple Cider Vinegar, and red wine... Not beer, i tried ; )... but surley must be possible... Love it!
Hey J, Great to hear from you again! How many bottles do you have brewing when you have a batch every day? How long does it take you to finish a brew and where are you located again? Did you ever check the ph? I'm really curious :) All the best :)
@@healthyrootsstrongwings538 Am doing it using a perforated balloon on top ( covering / closing ) of the glass bottle. It's that ok ?? Thanks my friend.
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I've been fermenting various foods and drinks and I was looking for something new when I came across this video. I am on my 3rd Lacto batch now. I love love the taste and my plants are happy too :) Thanks again. God bless you and your family and keep doing what your doing.
Great video! I am a researcher for a company who makes cleaning products, and consumption products, from more 'fancy added bacteria' than Lacto. BUT, I know this make it expensive for most people to purchase. SO, for people to make this at home, clean with it, drink it, promote a more healthy home, bring the good microbes back into our lives, I hope more people can ferment this themselves, and stop using harsh chemicals with antiseptic properties. Your method and 'product?' is All-Natural, Wonderful! These bacteria truly can clean, it is almost unbelievable, but they really do. Great video and hope more people see it! :)
Thanks for sharing! I do have a question though. So I'm trying to understand the difference it makes between making lactobacillus with sugar and salt vs just using a rice wash? Does it create different types of probiotics? Is one way or the other more beneficial? I tried googling all over on this and am struggling to figure it out. Lol thanks so much!
Hi Anon, You can actually make LACTO using rice wash aswell but then the procedure is slightly different. It would be a one time brew and you can consume the rice.
What in earth are you going through to respond to this wonderfully person that way? The current affairs must be pressing on you. Hope will work on your issues and hope you feel better soon ❤
Wow John, that is awesome to hear! It might actually have been 2 years since I've brewn (is that a word?) As well. I'm going to take your example and start again too! The temperature is perfect now here. Be well and have a blessed weekend
I just switched to this method, I use to make the milk based LAB but this method is cheaper and in my opinion overall healthier because of the chemicals and pesticides the commercial farmers use
Great video! and yes, I would strongly recommend a GLASS bottle, airlock only costs $1 or so. I even ferment stuff without airlock and have no problems. I cover with a coffee filter and rubber band... very good probiotics and you look really healthy! Thumbs up! :-)
I am very grateful for this efficient and extremely simple recipe. I used to make the rice wash water and milk version, but with your method I always have a large amount of fresh LAB available. 😊
That's amazing to hear!! Warms my heart. Actually we could also make this LAB with just the rice wash but I always used the "advanced method". I hope to finish my kitchen build soon and wish to make more brew8bg videos again at some point
It is indeed a great tutorial! Teaching skills is the key for this video to give you all the info you need for the production probiotic at home!! Thanks .....
Excellent video sir.. Thank you so much.. I am nivetha, research scholar from VIT University, India working in probiotics. After seeing tiz video i got some ideas abt probiotics. its really very helpfull.. thank you sir.
Now I am in 2nd year sir. I am just working in beta galactosidase enzyme. i will extract and purify the enzyme using biological techniques. Then I will inoculate it in dairy products for enzyme hydrolysis. Also I am Planning to go for animal and human study. So Initially will check the glucose level in blood and I will give my lactase product which is purified?! Then I will check for the glucose level in blood. This is what I planned sir.. Since I am in second year, just now i synthesised enzyme. Now planning to go for optimization studies. Really I love my study what ever i am doing and I like ur video also. As If I am in Vellore, Tamilnadu, India. Here till now there is no any awarness for lactose intolerance and no probiotic drinks. So I want to make something innovative in my place. Sir! also, I am planning for start up bio company for probiotic products. Really sorry to ask these kind of informations sir. If you dont mind Can you please give your Email ID? Can you come to VIT University and give a talk about probiotic products? It will really very helpfull to us Thank you sir.
Thank you for this video. I stumbled upon it just by chance. Not knowing anything about lacto-fermentation however after giving it a go this is basically changing my life. Thanks again!
This is the best video I have seen here on UA-cam and I've seen many. I love the way you have done it all organic, and very detailed - great teacher!! I'll be using 7.0ph water from reverse osmosis system @home & I will even use buy test strips just because I like to know end results. Mr Takashi is a great teacher it shows with your work, my respects to you both and how lucky and blessed you are. Btw I'd like to share that you're such a natural & put together a really great video...looks even better than those videos of others getting paid to do reviews for big companies or even some professionals (some people have difficulties due to no personality nor character in sales or marketing which breaks them) I do very well....lol! ...you kept me watching video from beginning to end & I found the lesson very interesting & informative. So what ever you do I wish nothing but the best; blessings to you and your family in what ever innovative business idea or purpose you are driving for & want to deliver to the world. Do you make videos on the making of your FPJ? What about Mr Takashi on KNF? Thank you very much for your time.
Thanks for the awesome comment Miranda! Whow! That is just humbling, motivational and heartwarming all together. Takashi is an awesome teacher and following classes with him just made me realize how awesome it is to learn new things that interest you. Opened up a whole new world. I had never heard of fermented plant juice before but few weeks back found this nice channel from a guy called Chris Trump. I am really keen on learning more about these methods. This is the link: ua-cam.com/channels/us0ZO165qzh6KPlULSzs4w.html Takashi himself has started a lab/research and production facility in Bangkok where he is developping all sorts of fermented products like cashew cheese, fermented chillie sauce and more awesome things like this. Wish I could visit him again some day but for now we are trying to find a place to shoot roots in Portugal :)
I have just made this and found a great way to keep it at the right temperature. The cable box from your cable subscriber belongs to them so there is no worry about ruining it. Just put the bottle on top of the box and the low level heat will warm it up to the right temperature. If it is too hot put the bottle on something so that the heat dissipates before it hits the bottle. Trial and error will work here and a thermometer.
Nice tip using that as a heating mat! Talking about life hacks and closing the energy loop! Don't have a TV so this hack won't work for me but plenty of people who do. Keep it up and let us know how you go :)
Michael Eng i wouldn’t suggest that because of the radiation given off by the cable box. I don’t know if it will leach or effect the lacto, but why chance it
Awesome stuff. Mix half and half with soy sauce. We use gallon jugs and let sit in the shade for two weeks. Best soy sauce ever! Mix that fermented soy sauce with banana sauce and it makes a great bbq sauce ... or better yet, before adding the banana sauce add a cup of your favorite diced chili and let sit for another week, then add the banana sauce. That’s incredible bbq sauce! The naturally occurring umami in this fermented liquid is the bomb. Cooking with it will take your dishes to another level. Can’t say enough good about this stuff. Thanks for sharing it with us all!
@@healthyrootsstrongwings538 I first watched your video about a year or so ago and have been experimenting ever since. I like to add 100ml of the rice ferment to 750ml of tang before breakfast and after dinner. Black rice has worked best for our needs. It ferments super fast at first, much faster than brown rice did, but never quite makes it to a vinegar acid level, smells more like a nice cooking wine. After I harvest it, I used to add 100ml of ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) to each 1 liter glass bottle and fill it up with the lacto ferment and let it go for another couple weeks. Recently I switched from adding ACV to adding CSV (Coconut Sap Vinegar) because a liter of ACV cost me about 8 times as much as the CSV and eventually I’ll be able to make my own. We planted a small coconut orchard this year 😊 We also planted our own black rice field ‘cause we are trying to be self-sufficient 😉
@@healthyrootsstrongwings538 oh, I forgot to mention, if you eat white rice, soak it overnight 2 parts rice, 2 parts water, 1 part rice lacto ferment. It will ferment your rice a bit and eat away most of the loose starches. We don’t rinse the rice in the morning, just drain and cook as normal. Usually after eating white rice your teeth feel sticky, but our soaked rice leaves your teeth feeling clean and tastes better, and it’s more nutritious since the fermenting makes more nutrients more bio available. We also feed our pigs and chickens cooked soaked grains using the same process, and they seem to grow bigger and healthier and love the food.
Hello and thank you for the great video. I live in Cyprus and brewed myself 6 litres. It's really easy. 7 days are up and I tried it today. I think it tastes really delicious. God bless you.
Great to hear!! I've been wanting to make a brew but wasn't sure if it's too cold in the house. How did you keep it warm? Good luck and thanks for your feed back!
@@healthyrootsstrongwings538 I live in Canada. You can use an electric heat matt designed for growing seedlings. Put the matt in a box (cardboard or plywood) lined with a bath towel... You can check the temperature, it shouldn't be too hot.
@creativeandaliveat65 nice tip there :) Personally I try and use only the heat I can get from the sun or inside the house. My solar setup is not too beefy so I can't plug these kinds of things in all day. A haybox is easily made though and even hot water bottle can do miracles :) Happy brewing over there!
Ever thought about putting a balloon with a pin hole on instead of a cap? Simple airlock. Just cap it for the shaking. Or do you need the pressure in the bottle?
+Listen and Learn English Hey guys and thanks for the message :) You could make a system with an airlock or a balloon for sure. I have thought about making a tumbler with a glass "carboy" bottle. You could cap it for the tumbling and then put the airlock on top. Make sure though not to have much air in the bottle because then you'll get a yeasty layer on top. Towards the end of the brewing process you could put a cap on to allow some fizzy Ness to develope :) Good luck!
Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to comment. I just finished my first Brew of the year today. Good luck brewing. Don't know if you are on the "panic train" but it works as a good desinfectante. Love the username! Keep spreading the light
Thanks for the beautiful video ... Really great and easy work .... I made such a vital fertilizer (water + dates molasses + rice or boiled rice water + sour milk + yeast) and got the same shape and color .... and the smell. ... one of the bottles exploded to not let the fermentation gas come out ... I meant that ... it was awesome
Hi Amer! Thanks for your comment and glad it hear it helped you. Your cocktail sounds like a potent one indeed with the yeast and sour milk fueled by the molasses! NASA should research the possibilities to make rocket fuel out of it 😂 Must have been quite a stinky mess when it popped. Would you elaborate how you used it in your garden? Have an awesome weekend wherever you are 🤗
+GIRLYWHIRLY yes😃 personally I use it mostly to rinse store bought fruit and veg. You can mop floors and clean surfaces too. Happy brewing and let us know how you go
Thank you so much for this great tutorial! I am so grateful! I was searching for directions to make my own EM 1 to make my own bokashi flakes after I bought a comercial EM 1 brand and returned it after reading the ingredient list. I learned that some lactobacillus help you gain weight and some strains help you loose weight. The only lactobacillus on the label of the commercial EM1 was a weight gaining strain :0 I don't want to spread that strain all over my garden! I've been using your recipe on a larger scale in glass carboys with an air lock, but I add a few capsules of KyoDophilus 9 to give those strains a head start. I'm injured so I can't shake my bottle at all or excercise so I really need those slimming bacteria!. I've found that it's pretty easy to just tip the carboy on edge and roll it, no need to remove the airlock, but I usually am only able to do that a few times at the beginning. I've also been adding the same amount of sugar at the end and letting it go for another week in attempt to make it more concentrated. This stuff is amazing!!!! I tried it taking the rust off some garden tools that accidentally overwintered in the dirt WOW! Also My son went on a mt. bike trip and got 3 white shirts really stinky and muddy. Somehow they were left in a pile for 9 months + before they were found all crusted together looking like garbage. I thought I would see what your Lacto would do so I soaked them for 24 hour then put them through the washing machine without soap so I could see the Lacto effect isolated and they came out GLEAMING white as if I used bleach (I would never!). I'm still searching for the recipe for EM1, it looks like it was once easily found online from a single link on hawaiianhealingtree but that link is now broken. Until then I will be drinking your double brewed lacto and making my bokashi flakes with it! Thanks again!
Whow Holly that is so great to hear! Super nice that you found all these benefits so far :) Great that you are using glass carboy. I too want to do that in the future hut so far have been on the road or with very small housing. It's not "my LACTO" , I'm merely sharing it out to the world here. I think the true recipe of EM is kept secret but if you find the link then please share it with us :) Perhaps we can make a new video at some point. Good luck and thanks so much for typing the extensive experience. Report back when you found more applications! Love from Portugal :)
@@febiaivy4702 the benefits far outweigh the harm. Lactobacillus strives in anerobic (no oxygen) conditions. Other bacterias perish. You can either use glass with airlock or plastic. Using glass, you have to pump out the air or supplement with bacteria from previous batch or live strains from capsules available in market. If all the oxygen is not removed, you have to add some apple cider vinegar too. That will prevent other contamination at initial stages when the colony is at its weakest. Later on lactobacillus will overpower any other pathogens. With plastic it's very easy and cost effective. If you can afford glass. Go for it.
The side of my small refrigerator is very warm, so I made a 1.5 liter and rested it on top of a cardboard box while touching the side of the refrigerator, and covered by cloth. First day, and it's working. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing this my friend. I too am in Thailand. On Koh Samui. Not many organic resources for these three ingredients here on the island. I went with the more expensive products available. Been suffering from Ulcerated Colitis for several years now. Gonna give this a shot. Thanks again. I'll report back in a couple of weeks.
+Brent Jones Hi Brent, I have lived on Koh Tao for 8 years :) But am in Portugal now. Next time you need supplies please order here: harmonylife.co.th/en/ Organic farm run by Japanese. You can order the 1kg rice brick and dark sugar there. The salt you can probably find in the organic shop in Maenam :p Please give it a shot. The temperature over there makes brewing super easy. Good luck brother!
3 years later - still a fabulous and very informative video!! I will definitely try it!! How would you describe the taste? Btw you have a very soothing accent! Stay blessed!!
Thanks Martina! The Dutch accent never wore off competely :p Taste is sour. You'll get accustomed to it but for starters mix with some lemon water or juice. Happy brewing wherever you are!
@@healthyrootsstrongwings538 I knew it! I am from Austria originally and your accent sounded so familiar. Thank you for your quick response! I will definitely give it a try!
good day to you sir, how long (no of days) can we be able to use the lacto based on your demo? what is the ideal dosage (human consumption)? Is there an expiration for the finish product? I really enjoyed watching you and interested as well to do it myself. GOD BLESS
Sir, I've made this probiotics and now i'm using it to our farm. I did some experimentation to it, I've added some molasses and mixed it to Indigenous Microorganisms and Fermented plant juice and result was great. Thank you for this video you've made sir. Your fan from the Philippines.🙂
Man you are marvellous. I brewed it with organic black rice, himalayan salt and organic jaggery. Tasting lovely. yesterday afternoon i had half glass. today morning I had smooth toilet after so many years. Many thanks for sharing. Can I have a gardening video with Lacto Please.
+dayakar reddy Alluru Ha awesome to hear brother! The first " LACTO POOH" is always memorable :) Personally I don't brew with red or dark rice because I found it got a bit slimy. But if it works for you then awesome! Keep it going and speak the word :) I'll think of some applications to share
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I'm going to try making this probiotics, I have gut problems and i hope this organics probiotics will help my gut bacteria will be to normal. Thanks for easy to follow tutorial. I'm from the Philippines.
Hi brother, Where in the Philippines are you from? Good luck with the gut issues. You can do enemas with it too. Hope you will be well soon. Take care.
Thanks so much for the compliment. Actually I am editing a video at the moment about natural building methods. More tutorials are also in the pipe. Is there any particular field you are interested in? Stay blessed
Your country and food and people are beautiful. I make my own Kombucha and this is something similar. The Kombucha is fermented tea. I second ferment to make it fizzy with fruit and herbs to make it extra healthy. I also make my own homemade vinegars with fruit and apples. I take them every day for gut health. Maybe I'll give this a try. Thanks
Ola Fionnuala, We now live in Portugal. Other food and country but wonderfull nonetheless. I too make my own kombucha and Jun but have nit been brewing since a year. I thought to make a video about kombucha but there are many already. I use a blend of green and black tea and do a 2nd ferment usually with dried fruit tea like roselle or forrest fruits like berries etc. I finetune so it gets nice and fizzy. The kids love it. Im curious to learn about your home made vinegar 🤗
@@healthyrootsstrongwings538 good luck in Portugal. Lucky them, because you're bringing all your culture and customs. I love the exchange of different food flavours etc. I'm vegan myself living in Ireland. I spend 4 months in Spain mixing with their culture. I learnt how to make the apple cider vinegar from Mary's Nest on UA-cam. And then I learnt you can make it from any left over scraps you have. Like citrus skins or banana skins or kiwi or pineapple or whatever fruit is going off. Give it a try. It takes 30 days to ferment in my country but its very easy, just water and sugar
@@healthyrootsstrongwings538 I live in California and I'll absolutely let you know how it goes 🤗 Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge & wisdom. Please take care brother & stay safe my friend 🙏🤗
@@healthyrootsstrongwings538 Been living in California for about 12 years now, my family moved here when I was 8. However, I am Middle Eastern, so your right about that😊 Wishing you & your family a happy weekend!
intressting! I have been looking for a way to produce some lacto for a while now but every recepie i have found contained milk what I didn't like. I will definitely try this one, thanks alot
+Mira Aylin Great to hear! I personally don't dig whey etc. This way of brewing will produce a superconcentrated probiotic that js multiversatile. Please share with your dairy avoiding or vegan friends as it is also an awesome way to ingest b-vitamines. Happy brewing and let us know how you go :)
Hi Zrdrowa, thanks for your comment. I have been reading up a lot on bpa etc lately but understand that even bpa free materials can still leech other chemmmies that they just didn't identify yet. Seems it is just never safe. Can you elaborate on the marbles and flint? Thanks for contributing 👍
New to fermentation and to this channel! and I am loving it! Can't wait to try this and grow my own lacto. Can this lacto be used in bokashi method composting?
Yes you can make bokashi maize using "Lacto" I discovered this video a year ago, when I was searching how to make bokashi maize, as the commercially produced stuff was disappearing off the shelves along with the toilet paper
Thanks so much for posting this video! I've been looking for awhile for a LAB recipe that doesn't include milk as part of the process. This method is so much less fussy. Can you suggest what the LACTO to water dilution ratio should be if I want to use it as a chicken coop bedding deodorizer and as a compost accelerator?
+jecriggs no worries jecriggs. I'm no fan of whey and yuckie mixtures with milk etc. Share with your friends or anybody who might benefit. Once you get good and brewing you can also teach others To spray you chickens and their coop I'd use a dilution of between 1-10%. For deodorizing yourself you can use the same mix. Take a long bath in it or spray a dilution in a plant spray bottle. (A while long I made Deo mix with essential oils) To spray in garbage bin or clean toilet etc you can do 10%. For compost you can do 10-100%. Make mixture and soak your green waste in it before composting or pour over your compost pile before covering it. Good luck, Happy brewing and please report back to share your findings :)
Mr wonderful...... Sincerely thank you for sharing the high tech fermentation... Now i can try to learn and be heakthy.. Again sincerely thank you so much.. You are a lufe saver
Hello great video how do I store it? I made a five liter bottle and would like to know if I can place it in the refrigerator and what is the shelf life?
+julliana2ify Aaahhh Awesome! How did it go? For consuming I usually keep it for about 2 weeks or so as the health benefits are greatest when it's alive and kicking. Personally I don't usually put it in fridge but check Takashi 's website for his advice :) Theoretically you can keep it for a year or so but I wouldn't use it for consuming. Good luck with it and let me know how you are using it :)
Thank you for your response, I will be consuming it for the two weeks or so as you have said and will use it for cleaning and plants after that ...I will make fresh brew for consumption as two week period is nearing. Thank you so much for your awesome video. Blessings.
+julliana2ify Thanks J! Response like yours are motivating :) Thanks for that. Thinking of a new video but not sure what subject to take Make sure to dilute according to Takashi ' s instructions otherwise you'll kill your plants Also trust your sense of smell and taste. All the best :)
No worries Judith! Go ahead and try it out. At the moment I have started brewing again since quite a while and I am now on my 5th brew from the same rice. Good luck!
Even more years, I still love this video and the way you are sharing how to make Lacto probiotic easily. I have mad it when I finished for my family health care and my garden care. Organic help the world clean and people health. Thanks again 👍🥰
Hi, thank you for sharing. I computed ingredients from the lacto site using the 1.5 liter formulation and multiplied them by 4, the rice adds up to 800 grams as opposed to what you have indicated, which is only at 600 grams. Mind sharing your thoughts on this please? Thank you.
There is no hard and fast rule. It will survive at lesser nutrients too and with excess nutrition, it will take it up in next batch. The only thing that prevents you from enjoying it's wonderful benefits is if you don't ferment it. The chances of failure is very marginal. Thats why lactobacillus fermentation has been around since thousands of years in different cultures.
Great recipe! Thanks for sharing:) I hope you find a new container to make your brew in. That plastic jug is not the best container. Look up and do your own research about plastic water bottles.
+GIRLYWHIRLY Hi there girly. Thanks for caring. In the future I'd like to use a glass carboy with airlock but untill then this is the best solution for now 😃
+contact11222 I'd say the bottles might be better suited for the acidic content (if it's different from a normal PET bottle. The cap however might not be a screw cap and thus not great. Hope that helps Once I have as good setup here I will start to use glass bottles with airlock bht have to figure out how to stir or shake.
Did this finally and loving it. But i had to start with small batch i had 500ml bottle only. 4 batches done, first batch the balloon didnt bloat much. Next one was good and tasted better. May be it took time to activate. 2 batches i tried with white sugar, same rice. Its also tasty. Got a bigger bottle now, started the first batch today.
Awww thanks Argentina! These kinds of messages just warm the heart. Uploaded my first youtube video in 2.5 years today again. Hope to make some nice ones again soon. Hope you are well :)
+Natalie Floyd Great to hear we motivated you :) Give it a go but don't give up when something goes wrong. Also: taste might be strong but if you continuously brew from same rice it will get more gentle. Just mix with orange juice or citrus fruit :) Happy brewing
Hey aqua, Thanks for the comment! Most likely you can use all kinds of grains to cultivate. This method however is proven to work and give a clean product. Should you start experimenting please let us know how you go :) Good luck!
Hi Kay, Depends a bit on you and what you want to achieve. In the time I made that video I drank a good cup with every meal. Now I live in a colder country and just made my last brew a week back. Now I drink a mug with water and some lemon in the morning. Just start with a shotglas and observe the effects. Then you can take more. Just listen to your body. Happy brewing and let us know how you go :)
Hello. You are probably not monitoring this comment section but perhaps someone can answer a question for me. I followed your instructions but by half. I was so proud when I saw it working. The smell was pretty strong but I burped the lacto regularly waiting for the magic day. Perhaps I should not have waited so long....7 days...half recipe. On the 7th day I was ready to bottle. When I looked at the mixing bottle a light brown yeast substance had formed at the top of that bottle. It also smelled like bread yeast. I didn't want to throw it out so I used some for cleaning with and saved the majority for plants. I saved out 1/4 cup to drink, adding juice of 1 small lemon. So far I am not dead so I guess it is ok. But what was the brown yeast stuff? It coated the very top of the water line. (I burped the water line up to the top of the mixing bottle each time I shook the mixing bottle, to keep all air out. But then a short while after each burp the bottle would expand and there would be air at the top again.) Did I do something wrong? Thank you in advance.
Hi there Dottie, Normally if you shake twice a day then it shouldn't create gunk on top. Could it be that the cap was somehow letting air in or something? Keep experimenting and thanks for sharing your experience :)
@@healthyrootsstrongwings538 I am thinking there are two things I did wrong. The cap is a big issue because each time I burped the gas out the bottle indented but then soon popped back out. So, it seems air had to be seeping back in for the plastic to pop back out. And there would then be a mass of air at the top of the bottle again. That bottle must be retired. Second, I started out with store bought mineral water but when burping the gas and losing water I replaced the lost amount of water with plain filtered water. I am not so sure the filter did such a good job of filtering. So much for the filtered water. I will stock up on only the store bought (natural spring) water until I find a filter I can trust. Starting new batch today. On the lacto I saved for plants, how much does it need to be diluted? I have watched the videos over and over but I feel I am missing something. Are there any new videos coming out soon?
@@dottielensset7138 Hi there, Just make sure that after shaking and the bubbles have settled down that you squeeze all the "air" or gas out. Just experiment a bit. Quality of rice is more important than the water. Worst case scenario you'll waste some rice and salt and explode a bottle :p Good luck and Make sure to share your findings :) May the LACTO LOVE be with you!
When you're done, make a second bottle (BPA free), and add some brewer's yeast instead of salt and wait 4 days. Add hops, or fruit (when you drink it) and you'll have a nice Kvass (very light beer-ish beverage low in ethanol). I'd go with Lemon grass if you're in Thialand.
Thanks Lou! Should try it sometime but am busy with other stuff at the moment. We are no longer in Thailand though and the lemongrass we have here in Portugal is growing only very slowly 😏
@@sherwinabante2639 I'll make one-- But I cheat, and just use water from making sprout mixed with low fructose fruit juices and fiber for taste and slow down the sugar shock.
I love how all the KNF videos have people and animals running around in them. I prefer this to HIgh production value videos. I don't want technology, i want community!
For cunsuming you mean? Just a small glad a day mixed with lemon juice or water. Then you can slowly increase depending on how you feel. Observe and feel. Your body and intuition I'll tell. And other wise your stool 😅
Thanks for the kind words Mariana! We are working on some new video's so stay tuned :) Any tips on what more you'd like to see is also appreciated :) Have an awesome Sunday
+25PDHarmon Hi there! Yep that's right only botanical lactic acidic bacteria that is present on the rice and perhaps in the air and water. All plant based :)
+25PDHarmon yes sure! Just make sure it's unrefined / unpurified. Use the appropriate weight as a table spoon of keltic salt might way more or less than sea salt or pink salt. Fancy salt is nice as there are more minerals in it. These will get processed by the bacteria and in turn become more bioavailable for us :)
thanks again for lacto i try to make probio lacto for human uses like this procedure... cuz i make lacto to my animals consumption..God bless your family..
Thanks Dione! With human consumption in mind I keep all the ingredients as pure as possible. Good luck with brewing and come back anytime with feedback :)
+Cheriway Hi Cheriway. It's all personal so just start with small amounts like a shotglas in warm water or lemon water. See how you feel and increase if you want. When I brew I take 3 glasses a day with or after meals. Not sure what you want to tell your doctor or why you visit yours. You are making your own probiotics that's all. The subject to pro and prebiotocs is becoming more studied and science is learning more and more. Depending on how up to date your doctor is they might not even know what it is not what it can do for us. Apparently they learned more about our gut biome in the last 5 years then they did in the previous 50! Happy brewing! The Mexican heat should help you out a lot :)
Hi Elme! No worries at all :) No need to wash the rice but make sure it is organic brown rice from good quality (freshnes). So far I had good results with the kind of rice you can buy in a vacuum sealed brick. When I was in the Netherlands last year I got some Italian brown rice which worked really well too. If you only intend to do a one time brew instead of continuously brewing then you could use the basic method as explained on the lacto-life.com website. In this case you wash and scrub the rice thoroughly and use the water while you can still eat the rice later. Good luck and stay tuned for another fermentation video we will upload later this week: Beetroot, ginger and orange KVAS :) Happy brewing and let us know how you went!
Great to hear you are busy with it Hassina! Power to you :) Don't expect it to taste like kumbucha or such. You'll get used to it but can also mix it with citrus juice or water etc. Good for your inside and outside. Stay tuned as we are finalising a video on beetroot and ginger Kvas the coming week. 😀
Thanks a lot for the great video. My kids and i have done it using 1.5 litre plastic bottle. We plan to use our lacto on pig poo! to stop the smell. I drink it and it is amazing for the guts!
Hi again, Nice to hear! You'll soon find that 1.5L is too small to keep up with your needs and will brew bigger. You can also use it to ferment your pigg food. Where are you located?
+Christos Kemos Thanks bro* you can start off by just mixing a shotglas into your juice or water once a day and do with every meal after. Listen to your body and see how you react. Then you can take more but monitor yourself. Have fun and let me know how you go :)
+Andy Kowalczyk Hey Andy, you have 5o judge for yourself and build up. Start out slowly with, for instance, one shotglass added to your juice. Do this for a week and see how your body reacts. You can drink more once you get used but observe and listen to your body etc Good luck and let me know how you go!
This is both fun and beautiful! I use it to make a quick compost and other good things like treating my teeth or the skin of my washed hands to replace the killed good lactobacyllus on my skin. A rainbow sister of mine claimed that lacto is a quick remedy if too many thaughts swirl around in her head. I believe that it relaxes the mind-but I have kept it to myself that it might need a few days of drinking lacto on a regular basis to have it really happen. In her case, there might have been some involuntary self hypnosis or autosuggestion involved-but I didn't want to spoil the effect by stating that opinion. If so, she was her own remedy-and the lacto will relax her mind on the long run.
Arsenic is known to accumulate in rice at higher levels than in other crops, and is estimated to absorb up to 10 times the amount of other grains. The arsenic content in rice varies according to the type of rice, where its grown, how it has been processed and how it has been cooked.22 Feb 2017 google it (is there Arsenic in Brown rice I wonder?
Think of it this way you reuse the same rice for 10 brews and you don't even eat the rice. Most people eat way more rice than what is in the brew, and your not even eating it. Benefits outweigh the cost.
Hey Ties and everyone! I just wanted to post so others know that my first batch of Lacto was a SUCCESS and I'm on to my 2nd. If I can do it, ANYONE can do it! Thanks for your videos, replies and help, Ties!!!
+Essie Aku no worries :) It is easy as can be. Just make sure you use organic and good quality ingredients and remember when you continue to brew from the same rice the amounts of salt and sugar change. (Check the description below the video)
Thank you for freely sharing this type of health & wellness with such a well-made instructional video. ("I'm not a doctor & you should...." LMAO right with you Bro.)
Hey beautiful people,
After 3 years I am still getting daily comments and responses to this vdo from literally every corner of this planet and it is beautiful, heartwarming and motivating. Thank you all for this.
Many people ask if the plastic bottles don´t leech harmfull chemmies. I am no expert but would say it would be better to brew in glass bottles but this makes it more difficult and less accessible to many people. If you have glass bottles and airlocks etc then go ahead and use them. Just make sure there is not much air in the bottle and make sure you can still shake or agitate the liquid.
If you have no glass bottles but still want to benefit from probiotics then just use plastic. For me the benefits outweigh the possible negative effects of possible leeching plastic.
Besides this, many people might not use it for human consumption but for the many other purposes.
For the people who ask about the contents of the micro organisms and vitamins and minerals: I am not sure if the scientific research is done yet but here is an estimate from my teacher Takashi Hirasawi which can be found on the lacto-life.com website:
COMPONENTS
LACTO contains more than 80 kinds of bacteria (*3) and more than 60
kinds of nutrients. Some of the nutrients in LACTO are extracted from
brown rice, and some of them are produced by the bacteria growing in the
culture. The amount of bacteria and nutrients will depend on the
culture conditions and, in comparison with normal food and drinks, the
nutrients in LACTO have been already digested by bacteria breaking them
down to be fully and easily absorbed into the body.
BACTERIA (MICROORGANISMS) found in LACTO
Lactic Acid Bacteria: Lactobacillus. Yeast: Saccharomyces
Cerevisiae, Kouji Bacteria (Aspergillus) Acetic Acid Bacteria
(Acetobacster), Bacillus Subtilis, Butyric Acid Bacteria (Clostridium
Butyricum) Actinobacteria, Cyanobacteria, Phototrophic Bacteria and
Enzymes.
NUTRIENTS(*4) found in LACTO
Carbohydrate
Starch (Amylose, Amylopectin）
Fiber
Soluble dietary fiber: Oryzabran
Insoluble dietary fiber: Arabinoxylan
GAG (Glycosaminoglycan): Chondroitin Sulfate, Hyaluronic Acid, RBA/RBF
Protein (Amino acid)
Essential: Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Valine
Non essential: Alanine, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, Cysteine, Glutamic
Acid, Glycine, Ornithine, Proline, Selenocysteine, Serine, Tyrosine
Peptide, Cytokine (Phytohormone, Peptide), Nisin (Bacteriocin, Peptide)
DNA, RNA, GABA
Lipid
Complex Lipid: Sphingolipid (Ceramide)
Fatty Acid: ω-6 Linolenic acid/ω-9 Olenic acid
SCFA: Short Chain Fatty Acids, Lactic Acid, Acetic Acid, Formic Acid,
Propionic Acid, Butyric Acid, Oryzanol-Ferulic Acid (Phytochemical), Sitosterol (Phytosterol)
Vitamin
Vitamin B1 (Thiamin), Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (Niacin),
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid), Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine), Vitamin B9=M
(Folic Acid), Vitamin B12 (Hydroxycobalamine) PABA (4-Aminobenzoic
Acid), Vitamin E (Tocopherols, Tocotrienols), Vitamin H (Biotin), K
Inositol IP6 (Myo-Inositol-6/Phytic Acid)
Mineral
Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Manganese, Selenium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Zinc
*1. Probiotics are microorganisms that provide health benefits to humans and animals.
*2. The amount of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) in LACTO can be 1 - 10
million/ml when the process of LACTO has finished with lower acidity
level than pH3.6.
*3. Bacteria, mold and yeast belong to microorganisms family. When we
use the term bacteria in LACTO-LIFE, it’s actually considered
microorganisms including mold and yeast. We call them ‘bacteria’ instead
of microorganisms because we use mainly the features and effects of
Lactic Acid Bacteria, and the bacteria is more popular and easy to call
and understand.
*4 These nutrients are inferred from the nutrients of brown rice and
bacteria. We are going to update the measured components after the
scientific research has concluded.
Thank you for the video. Valuable information.
A question tho, does it have an expiration date?
Should I heat the water to body temperature first before adding the ingredients?
Shall we use this one to make Yogurt plz 🙏
a lot of research
Yes you totally can and will be good practice!
This is a common food for us in southern part of India. We pour water in the left over cooked rice in a mud pot and next day morning its ready as breakfast. Just add some sea salt and yogurt and enjoy with some fresh raw pearl onions and fresh green chilly.
Both are different bacteria.
One that's in the air is what ferments cooked, it's way less concentration. Here it's the batteries on the river, is way more concentrated.
Fermented foods give life!!! I love your accent..it's gorgeous!
May the Lord bless you for posting this tried so many things and still suffering from severe stomach discomfort I will trie this thank you again
+Mary Joe Thanks Mary Joe! Try it out and don't be discouraged if it doesn't work out. Make sure the temperature is right and it will kick off nicely.
Good luck!
Very Professional, informative and enjoyable AND in excellent English AND AND with no boring background music so common in too many UA-cam Videos.
From Israel.
That's enough compliments to grow my head twice the size!
Thanks for the encouragement and good luck over there!
Love this I have been making kefir every day for 7 years, kombucha brew started in 1990. Adding this to the other two. Thank you!!!
Liked and subscribed and shared.
Thanks Boo Hoo!
The taste experience won't be the same but your guts (and apparently brain) will thank you.
Happy brewing and let us know how you go 😀
I love this video ! I've made it here in Thailand several times now...and, the BEST use for it , I've found, is as a skin tonic. It's really great for my skin . I just spray it on after my shower. Amazing stuff. Of course I drink it, too. I have some "brewing" now. Sooooo easy. Thanks for this great video , it changed my life ! I've made sauerkraut, kimchi, water kefir, kombucha etc for years but this stuff is amazing !
Great to hear Sean! Yes it works great for skin. Try having a bath in it too. Or a 20 minute foot bath. Works wonder for rinsing hair top after natural shampoo.
Where in Thailand are you based?
Missing the place!
Hi, I am Georgekutty from India. Thanks for explaining everything in so much detail. It indeed is of great value to us farmers. Please keep up the good work you are doing. Thanks once again.
Happy to hear that Georgekutty :)
Messages like these make my day and give me gratefullness.
Happy brewing and let us know how it goes and what you use it for :)
Looking fwd to trying this . .. sounds like exactly what my intestinal system needs.
You keep making videos and I'll keep watching them have a peaceful and wonderful day.
Ha nice! Let me know what kind of things your interested in. I'm thinking if making new tutorials or videos about building our homestead here
I just realised I never said THANK YOU! That was very rude of me.
So, THANK YOU so much for the videos that you and your family make for us!
Your teacher friend in Thailand must be proud of you. You have also become an awesome teacher!
No worries Dottie! Your messages and commenst are gratifying :)
Glad it all finds a purpose :)
making it for 2 months now - Everyday Harvest... i use big Glass jugs... I have reused the same rice for 2 months, a batch everyday, 50plus+ times... Yummy straight and mixed with wheatgrass juice, Apple Cider Vinegar, and red wine... Not beer, i tried ; )... but surley must be possible... Love it!
Hey J,
Great to hear from you again!
How many bottles do you have brewing when you have a batch every day?
How long does it take you to finish a brew and where are you located again?
Did you ever check the ph? I'm really curious :)
All the best :)
how to get the air out with glass jugs?
Hi there, you would have to use an airlock. I have not tried it yet but this is the way. Good luck :)
@@healthyrootsstrongwings538 Am doing it using a perforated balloon on top ( covering / closing ) of the glass bottle. It's that ok ?? Thanks my friend.
@@jackgalico3559 sure, that would work. You just got to close it t off when you shake it.
Best fermented drink on UA-cam.
Thx sharing ur knowledge
Good to hear 😁
Thanks mate, you are a good teacher and you do not make simple processes complicated. Cheers!. I realized the benefits immediately in my system.
You mean you had a "LACTO Pooh"? 😅🤗
Good to hear Michael and thanks for the motivational words!
Happy brewing
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I've been fermenting various foods and drinks and I was looking for something new when I came across this video. I am on my 3rd Lacto batch now. I love love the taste and my plants are happy too :) Thanks again. God bless you and your family and keep doing what your doing.
Great video! I am a researcher for a company who makes cleaning products, and consumption products, from more 'fancy added bacteria' than Lacto. BUT, I know this make it expensive for most people to purchase. SO, for people to make this at home, clean with it, drink it, promote a more healthy home, bring the good microbes back into our lives, I hope more people can ferment this themselves, and stop using harsh chemicals with antiseptic properties. Your method and 'product?' is All-Natural, Wonderful! These bacteria truly can clean, it is almost unbelievable, but they really do. Great video and hope more people see it! :)
Thanks for the great input Lorenzo! Yes I love these kinds of solutions too. Freely accessible, low cost and open source :)
Power to the people 🤗
@@healthyrootsstrongwings538 Hello there, I was wondering if you have got a website, so that we can exchange ideas and opportunities, thank you
Thanks for sharing! I do have a question though. So I'm trying to understand the difference it makes between making lactobacillus with sugar and salt vs just using a rice wash? Does it create different types of probiotics? Is one way or the other more beneficial? I tried googling all over on this and am struggling to figure it out. Lol thanks so much!
Yes I had one but I think its offlibe now. I didn't have the time to put in.
Hi Anon,
You can actually make LACTO using rice wash aswell but then the procedure is slightly different. It would be a one time brew and you can consume the rice.
I was born in kasang Thailand then I was adopted when I was 7 or 8. Now I am 58 living in America and I am doing very well🙏🙏
Ahh that's a while back! Glad you're doing fine. Have not heard if Kasang before but will check Google maps. Happy days
Stupid!!! Who cares? U r stupid, u r not doing very well, get real!!
What in earth are you going through to respond to this wonderfully person that way?
The current affairs must be pressing on you. Hope will work on your issues and hope you feel better soon ❤
Going home today, gonna make me some , spreading the love, thanks so much! I live in Alabama
Nice Josh! Good luck and happy brewing. Let us know how it goes :)
Brewing again after 2 years to introduce it to my neighbours here on our area. Thank you again sir for sharing this amazing video.😊
Wow John, that is awesome to hear! It might actually have been 2 years since I've brewn (is that a word?) As well.
I'm going to take your example and start again too! The temperature is perfect now here.
Be well and have a blessed weekend
Started brewing 2 days back. Will post the result. Excellent presentation. Big thank you 👍
Awesome Tamminedi! Where are you from? Happy brewing 😊
Amazing! Was looking to find a way of making this without dairy milk! Great stuff, will be doing this :) Lacto is life
THAT S true...i too wondered .
I just switched to this method, I use to make the milk based LAB but this method is cheaper and in my opinion overall healthier because of the chemicals and pesticides the commercial farmers use
Great video! and yes, I would strongly recommend a GLASS bottle, airlock only costs $1 or so. I even ferment stuff without airlock and have no problems. I cover with a coffee filter and rubber band... very good probiotics and you look really healthy! Thumbs up! :-)
+mrprosale Thanks! At the moment I'm not brewing as it's so cold but soon will start it up again.
Happy brewing
mrprosale how do you take the out in glass bottles? I am new to fermenting
I missed word air in the previous comment I bet you figured
Fascinating about using it as a disinfectant spray!!! I've never heard of this before! Thank you!
+Sheila Smith Yes for table surfaces etc or thjngs like this. Make sure to refresh every few days though as you don't want it to get funky :)
Thanks D! Could you link the research you mentioned? I'd love to read up about it :)
I am very grateful for this efficient and extremely simple recipe. I used to make the rice wash water and milk version, but with your method I always have a large amount of fresh LAB available. 😊
That's amazing to hear!! Warms my heart. Actually we could also make this LAB with just the rice wash but I always used the "advanced method".
I hope to finish my kitchen build soon and wish to make more brew8bg videos again at some point
It is indeed a great tutorial! Teaching skills is the key for this video to give you all the info you need for the production probiotic at home!! Thanks .....
Thanks Farshad! Glad you enjoyed. Happy brewing and let us know how you went :)
Excellent video sir.. Thank you so much.. I am nivetha, research scholar from VIT University, India working in probiotics. After seeing tiz video i got some ideas abt probiotics. its really very helpfull.. thank you sir.
Hi Nivetha!
That is great to hear! What kinds of ideas do you have?
All the best,
Ties
Now I am in 2nd year sir. I am just working in beta galactosidase enzyme. i will extract and purify the enzyme using biological techniques. Then I will inoculate it in dairy products for enzyme hydrolysis. Also I am Planning to go for animal and human study. So Initially will check the glucose level in blood and I will give my lactase product which is purified?! Then I will check for the glucose level in blood. This is what I planned sir.. Since I am in second year, just now i synthesised enzyme. Now planning to go for optimization studies. Really I love my study what ever i am doing and I like ur video also. As If I am in Vellore, Tamilnadu, India. Here till now there is no any awarness for lactose intolerance and no probiotic drinks. So I want to make something innovative in my place.
Sir! also, I am planning for start up bio company for probiotic products. Really sorry to ask these kind of informations sir.
If you dont mind Can you please give your Email ID?
Can you come to VIT University and give a talk about probiotic products?
It will really very helpfull to us
Thank you sir.
Nivetha Anbazagan
Nivetha I'm very interested in what you do. If you have any reading material or videos, send them my way please!
Nivetha Anbazagan now Yu might end up Yur University study Nd have kids 😂 from India. peace 🤓🎖️
Thank you for this video. I stumbled upon it just by chance. Not knowing anything about lacto-fermentation however after giving it a go this is basically changing my life. Thanks again!
Hey! Awesome to hear! How have you been using it? I'm just brewing my second batch of the season 🤗
This is the best video I have seen here on UA-cam and I've seen many. I love the way you have done it all organic, and very detailed - great teacher!! I'll be using 7.0ph water from reverse osmosis system @home & I will even use buy test strips just because I like to know end results.
Mr Takashi is a great teacher it shows with your work, my respects to you both and how lucky and blessed you are.
Btw I'd like to share that you're such a natural & put together a really great video...looks even better than those videos of others getting paid to do reviews for big companies or even some professionals (some people have difficulties due to no personality nor character in sales or marketing which breaks them) I do very well....lol! ...you kept me watching video from beginning to end & I found the lesson very interesting & informative. So what ever you do I wish nothing but the best; blessings to you and your family in what ever innovative business idea or purpose you are driving for & want to deliver to the world.
Do you make videos on the making of your FPJ?
What about Mr Takashi on KNF?
Thank you very much for your time.
Thanks for the awesome comment Miranda! Whow! That is just humbling, motivational and heartwarming all together.
Takashi is an awesome teacher and following classes with him just made me realize how awesome it is to learn new things that interest you. Opened up a whole new world.
I had never heard of fermented plant juice before but few weeks back found this nice channel from a guy called Chris Trump. I am really keen on learning more about these methods. This is the link: ua-cam.com/channels/us0ZO165qzh6KPlULSzs4w.html
Takashi himself has started a lab/research and production facility in Bangkok where he is developping all sorts of fermented products like cashew cheese, fermented chillie sauce and more awesome things like this.
Wish I could visit him again some day but for now we are trying to find a place to shoot roots in Portugal :)
WJ Miranda is
I have just made this and found a great way to keep it at the right temperature. The cable box from your cable subscriber belongs to them so there is no worry about ruining it. Just put the bottle on top of the box and the low level heat will warm it up to the right temperature. If it is too hot put the bottle on something so that the heat dissipates before it hits the bottle. Trial and error will work here and a thermometer.
Nice tip using that as a heating mat! Talking about life hacks and closing the energy loop!
Don't have a TV so this hack won't work for me but plenty of people who do.
Keep it up and let us know how you go :)
Michael Eng i wouldn’t suggest that because of the radiation given off by the cable box. I don’t know if it will leach or effect the lacto, but why chance it
Me Too. It came out just fine. But I bought a heating pad for the future.
Awesome stuff. Mix half and half with soy sauce. We use gallon jugs and let sit in the shade for two weeks. Best soy sauce ever! Mix that fermented soy sauce with banana sauce and it makes a great bbq sauce ... or better yet, before adding the banana sauce add a cup of your favorite diced chili and let sit for another week, then add the banana sauce. That’s incredible bbq sauce! The naturally occurring umami in this fermented liquid is the bomb. Cooking with it will take your dishes to another level. Can’t say enough good about this stuff. Thanks for sharing it with us all!
Nice one Timothy! Did you discover and experiment all of this?
Let us know what else you've done 👍🏽
Happy days
@@healthyrootsstrongwings538 I first watched your video about a year or so ago and have been experimenting ever since. I like to add 100ml of the rice ferment to 750ml of tang before breakfast and after dinner. Black rice has worked best for our needs. It ferments super fast at first, much faster than brown rice did, but never quite makes it to a vinegar acid level, smells more like a nice cooking wine. After I harvest it, I used to add 100ml of ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) to each 1 liter glass bottle and fill it up with the lacto ferment and let it go for another couple weeks. Recently I switched from adding ACV to adding CSV (Coconut Sap Vinegar) because a liter of ACV cost me about 8 times as much as the CSV and eventually I’ll be able to make my own. We planted a small coconut orchard this year 😊 We also planted our own black rice field ‘cause we are trying to be self-sufficient 😉
@@healthyrootsstrongwings538 oh, I forgot to mention, if you eat white rice, soak it overnight 2 parts rice, 2 parts water, 1 part rice lacto ferment. It will ferment your rice a bit and eat away most of the loose starches. We don’t rinse the rice in the morning, just drain and cook as normal. Usually after eating white rice your teeth feel sticky, but our soaked rice leaves your teeth feeling clean and tastes better, and it’s more nutritious since the fermenting makes more nutrients more bio available. We also feed our pigs and chickens cooked soaked grains using the same process, and they seem to grow bigger and healthier and love the food.
Hello and thank you for the great video. I live in Cyprus and brewed myself 6 litres. It's really easy. 7 days are up and I tried it today. I think it tastes really delicious. God bless you.
Great to hear!! I've been wanting to make a brew but wasn't sure if it's too cold in the house.
How did you keep it warm?
Good luck and thanks for your feed back!
@@healthyrootsstrongwings538 I live in Canada. You can use an electric heat matt designed for growing seedlings. Put the matt in a box (cardboard or plywood) lined with a bath towel... You can check the temperature, it shouldn't be too hot.
@creativeandaliveat65 nice tip there :)
Personally I try and use only the heat I can get from the sun or inside the house. My solar setup is not too beefy so I can't plug these kinds of things in all day.
A haybox is easily made though and even hot water bottle can do miracles :)
Happy brewing over there!
am seeing this in 2019 September.just love how you talk.i could listen to you everyday.
Thanks Gladys! Will try and make another video sometime :)
Aren’t concubines allowed in Thailand? 🥳
Ever thought about putting a balloon with a pin hole on instead of a cap? Simple airlock. Just cap it for the shaking. Or do you need the pressure in the bottle?
+Listen and Learn English Hey guys and thanks for the message :)
You could make a system with an airlock or a balloon for sure. I have thought about making a tumbler with a glass "carboy" bottle. You could cap it for the tumbling and then put the airlock on top.
Make sure though not to have much air in the bottle because then you'll get a yeasty layer on top.
Towards the end of the brewing process you could put a cap on to allow some fizzy Ness to develope :)
Good luck!
Thank you! I made this several years ago, I want to make more because it’s really good! Thank you again 🤗
Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I just finished my first Brew of the year today. Good luck brewing. Don't know if you are on the "panic train" but it works as a good desinfectante.
Love the username!
Keep spreading the light
Thanks for the beautiful video ... Really great and easy work .... I made such a vital fertilizer (water + dates molasses + rice or boiled rice water + sour milk + yeast) and got the same shape and color .... and the smell. ... one of the bottles exploded to not let the fermentation gas come out ... I meant that ... it was awesome
Hi Amer! Thanks for your comment and glad it hear it helped you. Your cocktail sounds like a potent one indeed with the yeast and sour milk fueled by the molasses! NASA should research the possibilities to make rocket fuel out of it 😂
Must have been quite a stinky mess when it popped.
Would you elaborate how you used it in your garden?
Have an awesome weekend wherever you are 🤗
This is awesome, I had no idea you could clean with it!
+GIRLYWHIRLY yes😃 personally I use it mostly to rinse store bought fruit and veg. You can mop floors and clean surfaces too.
Happy brewing and let us know how you go
Thanks so much my brother this is a blessing you will be blessed.
Thanks Mark,
Hope it helps you! Good luck and let us know how you go :)
Happy days
Thank you so much for this great tutorial! I am so grateful! I was searching for directions to make my own EM 1 to make my own bokashi flakes after I bought a comercial EM 1 brand and returned it after reading the ingredient list. I learned that some lactobacillus help you gain weight and some strains help you loose weight. The only lactobacillus on the label of the commercial EM1 was a weight gaining strain :0 I don't want to spread that strain all over my garden! I've been using your recipe on a larger scale in glass carboys with an air lock, but I add a few capsules of KyoDophilus 9 to give those strains a head start. I'm injured so I can't shake my bottle at all or excercise so I really need those slimming bacteria!. I've found that it's pretty easy to just tip the carboy on edge and roll it, no need to remove the airlock, but I usually am only able to do that a few times at the beginning. I've also been adding the same amount of sugar at the end and letting it go for another week in attempt to make it more concentrated. This stuff is amazing!!!! I tried it taking the rust off some garden tools that accidentally overwintered in the dirt WOW! Also My son went on a mt. bike trip and got 3 white shirts really stinky and muddy. Somehow they were left in a pile for 9 months + before they were found all crusted together looking like garbage. I thought I would see what your Lacto would do so I soaked them for 24 hour then put them through the washing machine without soap so I could see the Lacto effect isolated and they came out GLEAMING white as if I used bleach (I would never!). I'm still searching for the recipe for EM1, it looks like it was once easily found online from a single link on hawaiianhealingtree but that link is now broken. Until then I will be drinking your double brewed lacto and making my bokashi flakes with it! Thanks again!
Whow Holly that is so great to hear! Super nice that you found all these benefits so far :)
Great that you are using glass carboy. I too want to do that in the future hut so far have been on the road or with very small housing.
It's not "my LACTO" , I'm merely sharing it out to the world here.
I think the true recipe of EM is kept secret but if you find the link then please share it with us :)
Perhaps we can make a new video at some point.
Good luck and thanks so much for typing the extensive experience.
Report back when you found more applications!
Love from Portugal :)
I'm going to ask you about the sugar, sugars are poison right?
And plastic we are told are bad?
@@febiaivy4702 Raw organic sugar or substitutes like brown sugar, jaggery, honey etc are good. It's processed sugar that's bad.
@@febiaivy4702 the benefits far outweigh the harm. Lactobacillus strives in anerobic (no oxygen) conditions. Other bacterias perish. You can either use glass with airlock or plastic. Using glass, you have to pump out the air or supplement with bacteria from previous batch or live strains from capsules available in market. If all the oxygen is not removed, you have to add some apple cider vinegar too. That will prevent other contamination at initial stages when the colony is at its weakest. Later on lactobacillus will overpower any other pathogens.
With plastic it's very easy and cost effective. If you can afford glass. Go for it.
The side of my small refrigerator is very warm, so I made a 1.5 liter and rested it on top of a cardboard box while touching the side of the refrigerator, and covered by cloth. First day, and it's working. Thanks.
+Richard Kelch Awesome solution Richard! Getting it off the cold floor and using the heat of the fridge! Sustainable karma points for you :)
Thanks for sharing this my friend. I too am in Thailand. On Koh Samui. Not many organic resources for these three ingredients here on the island. I went with the more expensive products available. Been suffering from Ulcerated Colitis for several years now. Gonna give this a shot. Thanks again. I'll report back in a couple of weeks.
+Brent Jones Hi Brent, I have lived on Koh Tao for 8 years :) But am in Portugal now.
Next time you need supplies please order here: harmonylife.co.th/en/
Organic farm run by Japanese. You can order the 1kg rice brick and dark sugar there. The salt you can probably find in the organic shop in Maenam :p
Please give it a shot. The temperature over there makes brewing super easy.
Good luck brother!
Thats a good core exercise
3 years later - still a fabulous and very informative video!! I will definitely try it!! How would you describe the taste? Btw you have a very soothing accent! Stay blessed!!
Thanks Martina! The Dutch accent never wore off competely :p
Taste is sour. You'll get accustomed to it but for starters mix with some lemon water or juice. Happy brewing wherever you are!
@@healthyrootsstrongwings538 I knew it! I am from Austria originally and your accent sounded so familiar. Thank you for your quick response! I will definitely give it a try!
good day to you sir, how long (no of days) can we be able to use the lacto based on your demo? what is the ideal dosage (human consumption)? Is there an expiration for the finish product? I really enjoyed watching you and interested as well to do it myself. GOD BLESS
Great video for me as I am a beginner to bokashi for my wormery and w need this in the future. Thanks from Washington State, USA.
Good luck Michael 🤗
Sir, I've made this probiotics and now i'm using it to our farm. I did some experimentation to it, I've added some molasses and mixed it to Indigenous Microorganisms and Fermented plant juice and result was great. Thank you for this video you've made sir. Your fan from the Philippines.🙂
Nice one John! Would you want to send me an email with your findings?
Have an awesome weekend 🤗
@@healthyrootsstrongwings538 what is your email sir?

Man you are marvellous. I brewed it with organic black rice, himalayan salt and organic jaggery. Tasting lovely. yesterday afternoon i had half glass. today morning I had smooth toilet after so many years. Many thanks for sharing. Can I have a gardening video with Lacto Please.
+dayakar reddy Alluru Ha awesome to hear brother! The first " LACTO POOH" is always memorable :)
Personally I don't brew with red or dark rice because I found it got a bit slimy.
But if it works for you then awesome!
Keep it going and speak the word :)
I'll think of some applications to share
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I'm going to try making this probiotics, I have gut problems and i hope this organics probiotics will help my gut bacteria will be to normal. Thanks for easy to follow tutorial. I'm from the Philippines.
Hi brother,
Where in the Philippines are you from?
Good luck with the gut issues.
You can do enemas with it too.
Hope you will be well soon. Take care.
Greetings from Saskatchewan, Canada . I trained under Sisay Octigowa years ago
Great to hear from you John. Haven't heard of this person but will check him out.
Happy days
This is the best DIY probiotic video..THANK YOU sir!❤ do you still blog? Please continue posting helpful videos…👍👍👍
Thanks so much for the compliment. Actually I am editing a video at the moment about natural building methods. More tutorials are also in the pipe. Is there any particular field you are interested in? Stay blessed
Your country and food and people are beautiful. I make my own Kombucha and this is something similar. The Kombucha is fermented tea. I second ferment to make it fizzy with fruit and herbs to make it extra healthy. I also make my own homemade vinegars with fruit and apples. I take them every day for gut health. Maybe I'll give this a try. Thanks
Ola Fionnuala,
We now live in Portugal. Other food and country but wonderfull nonetheless.
I too make my own kombucha and Jun but have nit been brewing since a year. I thought to make a video about kombucha but there are many already.
I use a blend of green and black tea and do a 2nd ferment usually with dried fruit tea like roselle or forrest fruits like berries etc.
I finetune so it gets nice and fizzy. The kids love it.
Im curious to learn about your home made vinegar 🤗
@@healthyrootsstrongwings538 good luck in Portugal. Lucky them, because you're bringing all your culture and customs. I love the exchange of different food flavours etc. I'm vegan myself living in Ireland. I spend 4 months in Spain mixing with their culture. I learnt how to make the apple cider vinegar from Mary's Nest on UA-cam. And then I learnt you can make it from any left over scraps you have. Like citrus skins or banana skins or kiwi or pineapple or whatever fruit is going off. Give it a try. It takes 30 days to ferment in my country but its very easy, just water and sugar
I just made this and I'm so EXCITED 😁 Thank you so much for sharing, this video was so easy to follow 🤗
Great to hear Omar! Let me know how you go with it.
Where in the world are you? Have an awesome weekend wherever you are 🤗

intressting! I have been looking for a way to produce some lacto for a while now but every recepie i have found contained milk what I didn't like. I will definitely try this one, thanks alot
+Mira Aylin Great to hear! I personally don't dig whey etc. This way of brewing will produce a superconcentrated probiotic that js multiversatile.
Please share with your dairy avoiding or vegan friends as it is also an awesome way to ingest b-vitamines.
Happy brewing and let us know how you go :)
Thank you for this information, I am going to try this out, God's blessings to you sir from Ohio USA:)
Great to hear guy's! Today I will start my first Brew of the season aswell after I get water from the spring.
Good luck and let me know how it goes 🤗
Fantastic. I would just not use plastic bottle with BPA in it. A glass container, and then add glass or flint marbles to get rid of the air.
Hi Zrdrowa, thanks for your comment. I have been reading up a lot on bpa etc lately but understand that even bpa free materials can still leech other chemmmies that they just didn't identify yet.
Seems it is just never safe.
Can you elaborate on the marbles and flint?
Thanks for contributing 👍
New to fermentation and to this channel! and I am loving it! Can't wait to try this and grow my own lacto. Can this lacto be used in bokashi method composting?
Yes you can make bokashi maize using "Lacto" I discovered this video a year ago, when I was searching how to make bokashi maize, as the commercially produced stuff was disappearing off the shelves along with the toilet paper
Had to giggle just little on the TP remark 👍🏽
"I am the great Cornulio!"
Thanks so much for posting this video! I've been looking for awhile for a LAB recipe that doesn't include milk as part of the process. This method is so much less fussy. Can you suggest what the LACTO to water dilution ratio should be if I want to use it as a chicken coop bedding deodorizer and as a compost accelerator?
+jecriggs no worries jecriggs. I'm no fan of whey and yuckie mixtures with milk etc. Share with your friends or anybody who might benefit. Once you get good and brewing you can also teach others
To spray you chickens and their coop I'd use a dilution of between 1-10%. For deodorizing yourself you can use the same mix. Take a long bath in it or spray a dilution in a plant spray bottle. (A while long I made Deo mix with essential oils)
To spray in garbage bin or clean toilet etc you can do 10%.
For compost you can do 10-100%. Make mixture and soak your green waste in it before composting or pour over your compost pile before covering it.
Good luck, Happy brewing and please report back to share your findings :)
Awesome video, great explanation!

Should it smell really strong? When should I consider throwing it away
Hello great video how do I store it? I made a five liter bottle and would like to know if I can place it in the refrigerator and what is the shelf life?
+julliana2ify Aaahhh Awesome! How did it go?
For consuming I usually keep it for about 2 weeks or so as the health benefits are greatest when it's alive and kicking.
Personally I don't usually put it in fridge but check Takashi 's website for his advice :)
Theoretically you can keep it for a year or so but I wouldn't use it for consuming.
Good luck with it and let me know how you are using it :)
Thank you for your response, I will be consuming it for the two weeks or so as you have said and will use it for cleaning and plants after that ...I will make fresh brew for consumption as two week period is nearing. Thank you so much for your awesome video. Blessings.
+julliana2ify Thanks J! Response like yours are motivating :) Thanks for that. Thinking of a new video but not sure what subject to take
Make sure to dilute according to Takashi ' s instructions otherwise you'll kill your plants
Also trust your sense of smell and taste.
All the best :)
Yummy! Love it !... 2nd batch done... So Easy & Cool ! Natural, Healthy Soda
WOW! Im impressed. I had no idea you could make it yourself. Great video. Thanks so much 🌺
No worries Judith! Go ahead and try it out. At the moment I have started brewing again since quite a while and I am now on my 5th brew from the same rice.
Good luck!
Even more years, I still love this video and the way you are sharing how to make Lacto probiotic easily. I have mad it when I finished for my family health care and my garden care. Organic help the world clean and people health. Thanks again 👍🥰
Bom dia Hing Sam and good to hear from you! Thanks for the positive words.

Nothing like a probiotic that you can clean your floor with 😂👍
+Jonathon Patrick Exactly! If it's good enough for the floor it's good enough to drink :p
Jonathon 😁
Hahaha, yeah i wouldn’t try it with milk kefir 😉👍🏻.
@@FrenchViking466 They make floors with milk and cow dung.
Yes! Earthen floors :)
Hi, thank you for sharing. I computed ingredients from the lacto site using the 1.5 liter formulation and multiplied them by 4, the rice adds up to 800 grams as opposed to what you have indicated, which is only at 600 grams. Mind sharing your thoughts on this please? Thank you.
There is no hard and fast rule. It will survive at lesser nutrients too and with excess nutrition, it will take it up in next batch. The only thing that prevents you from enjoying it's wonderful benefits is if you don't ferment it. The chances of failure is very marginal. Thats why lactobacillus fermentation has been around since thousands of years in different cultures.
@@sanojdeepak4287 🙏🌼
Great recipe! Thanks for sharing:) I hope you find a new container to make your brew in. That plastic jug is not the best container. Look up and do your own research about plastic water bottles.
+GIRLYWHIRLY Hi there girly. Thanks for caring. In the future I'd like to use a glass carboy with airlock but untill then this is the best solution for now 😃
+GIRLYWHIRLY. What about a plastic containers that previously stored vinegar? They should be okay, right?
+contact11222 I'd say the bottles might be better suited for the acidic content (if it's different from a normal PET bottle. The cap however might not be a screw cap and thus not great. Hope that helps
Once I have as good setup here I will start to use glass bottles with airlock bht have to figure out how to stir or shake.
Healthy Roots & Strong Wings I usually stir with thin wooden spatula that helps.
ANY plastic bottle is unhealthy even for storing water let alone vinegar or other acidic liquids including oil! Research dear!
Did this finally and loving it. But i had to start with small batch i had 500ml bottle only. 4 batches done, first batch the balloon didnt bloat much. Next one was good and tasted better. May be it took time to activate. 2 batches i tried with white sugar, same rice. Its also tasty. Got a bigger bottle now, started the first batch today.
Good to hear you are doing it! Keep it up and let us know how you go :)
Sure!thanks😊. Do you have a recipe for the sourdough u baked using lacto? Saw the pic on your website. Looks yummy
I'd have to look it up somewhere as it's been a long time since I made that.
Worked out really well after a couple of misbakes :)
@@healthyrootsstrongwings538 oh ok. No problem 😊
My most sincere BLESSINGS for you and all around You. You Are a beautiful spirit helping this word. I really appreciated, Very grateful.
Awww thanks Argentina! These kinds of messages just warm the heart.
Uploaded my first youtube video in 2.5 years today again. Hope to make some nice ones again soon.
Hope you are well :)
This video was fantastic! I'm excited to give this a go!
+Natalie Floyd Great to hear we motivated you :)
Give it a go but don't give up when something goes wrong. Also: taste might be strong but if you continuously brew from same rice it will get more gentle.
Just mix with orange juice or citrus fruit :)
Happy brewing
Yeah I'm curious too man. What a cliffhanger!
Thanks for sharing the health drink. I was wondering if it would yield the same result if I were to use Quinoa instead of rice...?
Hey aqua,
Thanks for the comment!
Most likely you can use all kinds of grains to cultivate. This method however is proven to work and give a clean product. Should you start experimenting please let us know how you go :)
Good luck!
Thank you great tutorial!! How much shoud be consumed daily??
Hi Kay,
Depends a bit on you and what you want to achieve.
In the time I made that video I drank a good cup with every meal. Now I live in a colder country and just made my last brew a week back.
Now I drink a mug with water and some lemon in the morning.
Just start with a shotglas and observe the effects. Then you can take more. Just listen to your body.
Happy brewing and let us know how you go :)
Hello. You are probably not monitoring this comment section but perhaps someone can answer a question for me.
I followed your instructions but by half. I was so proud when I saw it working. The smell was pretty strong but I burped the lacto regularly waiting for the magic day. Perhaps I should not have waited so long....7 days...half recipe. On the 7th day I was ready to bottle. When I looked at the mixing bottle a light brown yeast substance had formed at the top of that bottle. It also smelled like bread yeast. I didn't want to throw it out so I used some for cleaning with and saved the majority for plants. I saved out 1/4 cup to drink, adding juice of 1 small lemon. So far I am not dead so I guess it is ok. But what was the brown yeast stuff? It coated the very top of the water line. (I burped the water line up to the top of the mixing bottle each time I shook the mixing bottle, to keep all air out. But then a short while after each burp the bottle would expand and there would be air at the top again.) Did I do something wrong? Thank you in advance.
Hi there Dottie,
Normally if you shake twice a day then it shouldn't create gunk on top.
Could it be that the cap was somehow letting air in or something?
Keep experimenting and thanks for sharing your experience :)
@@healthyrootsstrongwings538 I am thinking there are two things I did wrong. The cap is a big issue because each time I burped the gas out the bottle indented but then soon popped back out. So, it seems air had to be seeping back in for the plastic to pop back out. And there would then be a mass of air at the top of the bottle again. That bottle must be retired.
Second, I started out with store bought mineral water but when burping the gas and losing water I replaced the lost amount of water with plain filtered water. I am not so sure the filter did such a good job of filtering. So much for the filtered water. I will stock up on only the store bought (natural spring) water until I find a filter I can trust.
Starting new batch today.
On the lacto I saved for plants, how much does it need to be diluted?
I have watched the videos over and over but I feel I am missing something. Are there any new videos coming out soon?
@@dottielensset7138 Hi there,
Just make sure that after shaking and the bubbles have settled down that you squeeze all the "air" or gas out.
Just experiment a bit. Quality of rice is more important than the water.
Worst case scenario you'll waste some rice and salt and explode a bottle :p
Good luck and Make sure to share your findings :)
May the LACTO LOVE be with you!
When you're done, make a second bottle (BPA free), and add some brewer's yeast instead of salt and wait 4 days.
Add hops, or fruit (when you drink it) and you'll have a nice Kvass (very light beer-ish beverage low in ethanol).
I'd go with Lemon grass if you're in Thialand.
Thanks Lou! Should try it sometime but am busy with other stuff at the moment.
We are no longer in Thailand though and the lemongrass we have here in Portugal is growing only very slowly 😏
Lou do you have a video you can share in your own version making pro biotic people will love to see that?
@@sherwinabante2639 I'll make one-- But I cheat, and just use water from making sprout mixed with low fructose fruit juices and fiber for taste and slow down the sugar shock.
No wonder this recipe is so healthy..
Shaking the body is quite a workout
Yes! You should notice the start of a six-pack after about 4 brews :p
Haha sure is
I love how all the KNF videos have people and animals running around in them. I prefer this to HIgh production value videos. I don't want technology, i want community!
Are you saying our video doesn't have high production value? ;) :p
Happy days :)
Hi!! How much do you recommend drinking per day, especially if you’re just starting? Thank you. This was an excellent presentation my friend.
Hi there! Glad it helped. I'd just mix a shotglass in water or lemon water and go from there.
See how you react and increase.
Good luck!
Not able to understand abt quantity at. Start
For cunsuming you mean?
Just a small glad a day mixed with lemon juice or water. Then you can slowly increase depending on how you feel.
Observe and feel. Your body and intuition I'll tell. And other wise your stool 😅
"Just a small glad a day" means
Glass

Thankes a very well done video will give it a go Peter
Good luck Peter and let us know how you go. Happy brewing and happy holidays aswell 🤗
Love this video. Unique recipe, i noticed there is no milk involved. Where do you draw the lactic acid from to culture the lacto?
also are sea salt and pink salt interchangeable?
+25PDHarmon Hi there! Yep that's right only botanical lactic acidic bacteria that is present on the rice and perhaps in the air and water.
All plant based :)
+25PDHarmon yes sure! Just make sure it's unrefined / unpurified.
Use the appropriate weight as a table spoon of keltic salt might way more or less than sea salt or pink salt.
Fancy salt is nice as there are more minerals in it. These will get processed by the bacteria and in turn become more bioavailable for us :)
thanks again for lacto i try to make probio lacto for human uses like this procedure... cuz i make lacto to my animals consumption..God bless your family..
Thanks Dione! With human consumption in mind I keep all the ingredients as pure as possible.
Good luck with brewing and come back anytime with feedback :)
Watching from najaran Saudi Arabia. Thanks for sharing buddy..interesting.
Great video, veru usefull, cheers from México! But, how much should I take and how often. What sould I say to my doctor?
+Cheriway Hi Cheriway. It's all personal so just start with small amounts like a shotglas in warm water or lemon water. See how you feel and increase if you want. When I brew I take 3 glasses a day with or after meals.
Not sure what you want to tell your doctor or why you visit yours. You are making your own probiotics that's all. The subject to pro and prebiotocs is becoming more studied and science is learning more and more.
Depending on how up to date your doctor is they might not even know what it is not what it can do for us.
Apparently they learned more about our gut biome in the last 5 years then they did in the previous 50!
Happy brewing! The Mexican heat should help you out a lot :)
Have you tested it for *arsenic* levels? Rice is naturally very high in it!
This is my concern to. I want to make it as it is the easiest probiotic culture method I seen, but arsenic is what I worry for
Ive not done that but this has crossed my mind aswell! You could check it out and send some to a LAB :)
Thanks a lot on your great video :) do I need to wash rice before using? Hi from Denmark 😁🍹👍🏼
Hi Elme! No worries at all :) No need to wash the rice but make sure it is organic brown rice from good quality (freshnes). So far I had good results with the kind of rice you can buy in a vacuum sealed brick. When I was in the Netherlands last year I got some Italian brown rice which worked really well too.
If you only intend to do a one time brew instead of continuously brewing then you could use the basic method as explained on the lacto-life.com website. In this case you wash and scrub the rice thoroughly and use the water while you can still eat the rice later.
Good luck and stay tuned for another fermentation video we will upload later this week:
Beetroot, ginger and orange KVAS :)
Happy brewing and let us know how you went!
hi, can you use this as probiotic for making homemade yoghurt?

Just made my first batch now . I will post once it's ready . Absolutely love ❤️ your video . Awesome Awesome Awesome.
Thank you so much .
Great to hear you are busy with it Hassina! Power to you :) Don't expect it to taste like kumbucha or such. You'll get used to it but can also mix it with citrus juice or water etc. Good for your inside and outside.
Stay tuned as we are finalising a video on beetroot and ginger Kvas the coming week.

Thanks a lot for the great video. My kids and i have done it using 1.5 litre plastic bottle. We plan to use our lacto on pig poo! to stop the smell. I drink it and it is amazing for the guts!
Hi again,
Nice to hear! You'll soon find that 1.5L is too small to keep up with your needs and will brew bigger.
You can also use it to ferment your pigg food.
Where are you located?
Ps: what positive effects for the guts did you experience?
it isagreat product,how do you useit for internal consumption, do you take straight and how much can be taken daily.
+Christos Kemos Thanks bro* you can start off by just mixing a shotglas into your juice or water once a day and do with every meal after.
Listen to your body and see how you react. Then you can take more but monitor yourself.
Have fun and let me know how you go :)
Thank you for all this information. Much appreciated.
No worries Eileen! Glad it is helpfull :)
Let us know how you go with the brewing and good luck!
How much can I drink this in 1 day?
+Andy Kowalczyk Hey Andy, you have 5o judge for yourself and build up. Start out slowly with, for instance, one shotglass added to your juice.
Do this for a week and see how your body reacts. You can drink more once you get used but observe and listen to your body etc
Good luck and let me know how you go!
This is both fun and beautiful!
I use it to make a quick compost and other good things like treating my teeth or the skin of my washed hands to replace the killed good lactobacyllus on my skin. A rainbow sister of mine claimed that lacto is a quick remedy if too many thaughts swirl around in her head. I believe that it relaxes the mind-but I have kept it to myself that it might need a few days of drinking lacto on a regular basis to have it really happen. In her case, there might have been some involuntary self hypnosis or autosuggestion involved-but I didn't want to spoil the effect by stating that opinion. If so, she was her own remedy-and the lacto will relax her mind on the long run.
Nice! Never thought of that. The little bacteria might digest all those unwanted thoughts...
I need double shot asap!

Arsenic is known to accumulate in rice at higher levels than in other crops, and is estimated to absorb up to 10 times the amount of other grains. The arsenic content in rice varies according to the type of rice, where its grown, how it has been processed and how it has been cooked.22 Feb 2017 google it (is there Arsenic in Brown rice I wonder?
Think of it this way you reuse the same rice for 10 brews and you don't even eat the rice. Most people eat way more rice than what is in the brew, and your not even eating it. Benefits outweigh the cost.
