I finally got around to start making kombucha again, I have a gallon right now fermenting, once the first phase is over I will add some fresh gingers and blueberries for flavor. When I lived in a house with my ex I brewed a lot of it. I have bottles with those old time tops with a tiny rubber gasket and porcelain. I bought a tool for it today, a heater for a gallon jar. When it is brewing it should be between approx 70 to around degrees, the warmer the faster and this was very cleverly done. Now I don't have to worry and check the temperature all the time.
With regard to sous vide my instant pot can do that as well. It takes a while to learn the ropes for instance I made chicken soup 2 weeks ago and did several mistakes. I cut up the chicken first, I put in the pasta too early and I cooked it too long. Fortunately Jack could eat the meat which was almost crumbly, the pasta was horrible like 200 thousand times non al dente, not good at al. So I bought the instant pot bible and there I learned that you can do sous vide as we ll, It is a very handy tool, everything from yogurt to whole turkey can be done. I bought a few extra gaskets so I can use one gasket for things like yogurt, cakes and desserts and one for meat and non sweet cooking.
I made jasmine rice and it was very good, best I have ever done.
