Hi there, I've decided to start fermenting and see how we get along with it. My birds are around 6 weeks i think.
I mixed some Purina scratch grains and alfalfa cubes I keep on hand anyway yesterday. Sitting with lid ajar in a 90ish degree place(heat spell here in the northeast). Covered with water and stirred a few times.
My question reflects my surprise that I'm already seeing bubbles coming up. Was adding the alfalfa a wrong move? Is it fermenting way faster than the grains? I expected it to take a few days to see bubbles, only been 24 hours. If the alfalfa goes way faster will that spoil before the grains are ready?
Thanks for your help.
