Cheese Water: Will It Amazake?

I have made really great shio koji with whey in place of water, so I figured why not try something similar for amazake?

Fermenting on YouTube

Introducing the Crock of Time YouTube channel! The first video is about… my daily coffee routine. I was gifted a GoPro early for Christmas this year, and I’m going to put it to good use. This first video was intended as the scribble on the first page of a blank notebook, serving as a test of the recording and editing process. It took me longer…
