[foodhackingbase] kefir, kombucha, nato and other cultures share at 29c3

[Frantisek Apfelbeck]

>> dried galagangal minoir (it's a orange/reddish variant of the galangal/ginger family)

I will check it out with  my friends here in Korea and hopefully with Japanese people and Filipinos, we will see what I can do ...

 
It is actually funny. I have read about this plant several days ago on my "cruise" for information about ginger - I'm writing more complex article on non alcoholic ginger beer. I think I will have to check with more Southern neighbours it looks like that it is nearly tropical. But you know if your friends in the Netherlands had a bit of space in their grow box and god seeds, you could do a bit of gardening :-)

I will find in next week or so what is the story and we will see.

Sincerely,

Sounds cool, I'll try to bring a sample of my yoghurt, I think it would
be nice to compare it with it' original strain and see how they have
developed seperatly.

Also if anyone can get a seedling or seeds or just some dried galagangal
minoir (it's a orange/reddish variant of the galangal/ginger family),
I'd be quite happy. It's a wonderful ingredient to play with, but
impossible to get here.

Cheers!
