hey folks! wow, really stoked about the interest/input on this topic. i can let you know how im making my Effective Microorganisms and upload the link i used; 1/4 cup rice, 1 cup non-chlorinated water, 1 quart mason jar. combine rice(brown or white) and water in jar, cover, shake for 1 minute. strain rice kernels. place rice water in cool dark place for 5-7 days. take your rice water from dark place and strain goop from top. add fermented rice water to milk(pasteurized works), at a ratio of 10/1, milk/RW. combine milk and RW in a large glass jar put in cool dark place for 5 to 7 days. for this whole process the lids are to be placed on the jars loosely, to lsorret air in and out. after 5 to 7 days strain the cheese that has formed in the jar. what you have left is a cloudy yellow liquid. that is liquid is your serum. combine serrum with NC water at a ratio of 20/1 and add small amount of black strap molasses to activate...sorry gotta get back to work, more later!!! anyone with comments or constructive additions please chime in!
