LAYER MASH

I run with two buckets alternating daily, no straining!


Fill one 5 gal bucket a little less than HALF WAY WITH HOT tap water
ADD 1 cup ACV with mother
ADD layer mash little at a time until thick like a thick milk shake, make sure your at least 4" below the top of the bucket when done so it don't puff up over the top.
Sit for 3 full days, Stir only one time per day! and don't stir the day you use it, take feed off the top, only stir after replenishing. Cover with cheese cloth as it MUST BREATHE!

On feed day, take off the top (DONT STIR) Only what you intend to feed, add enough HOT tap water to replace what you took add mash and mix to THIcK shake again,
I use two bukets, don't strain it should get thick enough to use, you may have to get used to how thick to mix it as it thickens and puffs up as it sits.
 


My first batch of FF....got grower mash and starter mash...starter is not medicated so good there..also I added some of this kefir stuff...got it when alex was sick and thought it would be good to start the fermentin' process...

Quote: Awww....So jealous!!! I've come to the conclusion that I'm not meant to have ducks! In February I placed an ad for Call Ducklings. Got a reply from a local lady saying she would probably be setting eggs in March. Got the call in March that they had been set, and hatch date was April 13th. That day came and went, with no call back on progress or anything. Plan B, a local friend on here had Call eggs in the 'bator and was going to let me have whatever hatched......None hatched.

I don't want to try hatching my own because they're notoriously hard to hatch, and I don't think I could take the heartbreak! So, as I strongly believe in things working out that are supposed to happen, I have concluded that I'm not meant to have them for whatever reason. Maybe I wouldn't have liked having ducks, and the Lord's saving me the trouble of finding out on my own.

Would you believe that just after I posted this the wonderful gal on here that I was talking about PM'd me and 1 hatched, and another was half zipped!!!!!!! I AM getting Call Ducklings!!!!! These eggs had almost zero hope as they are days late to hatch! How wonderful is that????? I am soooo excited!!

Sally, I don't think it is the thermometer. As cold as it has been the last few days, I think it is just that. IDK what it is doing in that area of PA, but here it is going down into the low 20's, and only up to about 50 during the day.
tell me about it!
