Interesting process of making akamu. Watching this video brought back memories of my secondary school days. I helped my aunt a lot in making akamu. We preferred making it ourselves to buying in the market. Weldone Dr.
Hello ma! It took me a while before I recognised who you are but after some research, I remembered you vividly!!! Glad to connect with you again! God bless you ma.
Wow! This is thorough.Turns out really beautiful though. You are really a patient somebori ma 😍. I like ogi too, in short that's what I just took for breakfast a couple hours ago.
@@rebeccaoyerindehello. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful video. I leave in Europe. I really love pap. Did your pap has the authentic pap smell?. How many day would you recommend i soak the corn. Can i put the soaked corn in a warm room as we dont have much sun here. Thank you again for sharing. God bless
@@favourjohnson5844hi there. Yes, it always has that authentic taste and nice smell of pap 😊. The number of soaking days is highly dependent on weather. 3 days is enough during summer and I don't even attempt it during winter any more because the extreme cold weather doesn't allow the fermentation to take place. Yes, a warm environment is highly needed for the fermentation.
Thank you very much for your comment💕. No, I don’t change the water everyday. It depends on what I see on the surface as the fermentation progresses, then I decide whether to change the water or not.
How long after did you let it let it rest before putting it in the muslin bag? You said till the second day. Do you mean 48 hrs after? Does it spoil if you let it rest more than 24 hrs?
Pap made this way does not spoil easily. The purpose of rest is to allow for separation between the pap and the water. Once you have that, then it’s ok. If you let it rest longer than necessary, the separation may revert and you end up with unsettled pap, especially if it is tightly closed up.
That was a whole lot! 😱 Well done auntie Becky! My mom usually soak hers for just overnight. Was it because of the quantity you made yours 9 days?? Or it's just your general soaking time regardless of how much?
Thank you sunshine 😊.. It took 9 days because of the difference in temperature and humidity. Nigeria is hotter and more humid and these factors speed up the fermentation process. Of course, the quantity played a part too.
So I can use only corn for ogi without adding it anything I want to start the business ma.... I asked bcos many people are adding different things. Good morning
Basically and for beginners, all you need is dry corn. However, other things are usually added like ginger, other grains like millet and sorghum. But if it's for business, I'd advice you stick to the basic - dry corn. If your customers then want varieties, you can make for them based on their specifications.
Ideally it should be 3-4 days. But I found that the maize kernels I used were unusually hard and there was no sign of fermentation/softening after the typical 3-4 days. Also, I think the weather at that time was not hot enough to facilitate the process. Hence the prolonged number of days. Thanks for your comment/question
Wow this is nice am going to do mine this way.
It easy and simple unlike using the cloth process ❤
Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you found it useful 💕

Good morning ma please like how many paint rubber of dry guinea corn can make 4kg when iy has been finally drained
I have never user guinea corn before, so I don't know what the final yield will be
So I can use only corn for ogi without adding it anything
I want to start the business ma.... I asked bcos many people are adding different things.
Good morning

Will you say that the cloth sieve is better than the one you used?
The cloth is indeed finer than sieve, but when cooked, there was no much difference. Although the cloth may be preferred for commercial purpose.
Good morning, can hot water be use for fermentation
Thanks for your question. I've heard and seen people use hot water, but I have never tried it. Maybe I'll do so, some day.
Using hot water is not advisable, it will kill the bacteria. This bacteria are very nutritious to the body.
@@preciousodubogun5214 That makes a lot of sense! Thank you so much! I didn’t think of it from that angle
@@rebeccaoyerinde urw ma😘
Why 9 days ma’am?
