Today I have been insanely productive. I picked up my package bees at the Post Office on a Sunday, did a bunch of domain and shopping comparison work, re-worked the Las Vegas Farmer’s market site, posted 3 articles and added Tess as the new manager of the site and the facebook, and put 5 gallons of cider in primary fermentation. Oh and I completely prepped the new hive for bees. Great day. Next a bunch of minutina recipes and perhaps a lemon cake.

This arrangement creates several rewards for both the farmer and the consumer.

I over carbonated my hefeweizen, so it’s amazingly frothy. Delicious and very sweet though. We just put our first attempt at hard cider in primary fermentation. I am using a champagne yeast so I am expecting something pretty sweet as well. I also added cinnamon, nutmeg and all spice to the primary fermentation. This is a recipe for bread machines. This is the breakfast bread I am making today. 1.5 cups of water 2 cups of finely ground walnut (Or 1 cup of roughly chopped walnuts) Add the water, sugar, molasses and coconut oil to the machine. I prefer to use hot water so the coconut oil will melt. Then add the wheat gluten. The molasses and sugar will feed the yeast so you can sub out the bread flour if you prefer with whole wheat. Add the finely cut walnuts (they should be nearly as fine as flour. When the walnuts are this fine it will minimize interference with gluten development) and the cinnamon, salt and the yeast. If you have roughly cut walnuts (bits and halves) then add later in the cycle after the initial loaf is formed. Most home bread makers have a cycle where fruits and nuts can be added. Then add the salt and the yeast. Once the bread maker reaches it’s nut cycle (honestly I don’t know what else to call this) which for my Zojirushi Bread Machine Sunday is one of my favorite days around the farm. We don’t do any farming on this day and try to rest. We typically have crepes (both savory and sweet) or pancakes if we want a nice mid morning nap. Sunday is also the day I make bread and beer. Today I will be making a sweet breakfast bread, a whole wheat sandwich loaf with almonds and brewing up a batch of Bodhi Farms Hefeweizen. Bread and Beer are both a perfect example of how useful fungi are to mankind. Fungi are the first live decomposers in ecosystems. They are responsible for helping to build the soil systems on which we grow our crops. Yeast has over 1,500 documented species (there are considerably more out there, we just need to look). Harnessing the power of yeast has enabled humanity to build civilization. This isn’t an exaggeration. Bread is a food stuff that will keep well and travels well. And as well all know Beer has Saved the World I just opened up a bottle of the blonde ale. This beer needs another 2 weeks of bottle conditioning at least. It was bottled December 28th but I can tell at this stage in the process that this is going to a great ale. I guess I just need to wait a bit longer for it to fully mature. It has excellent color, good carbonation and faint malt notes with a bit of sweetness. In 2 weeks that sweetness will be gone replaced with a fully carbonated beer. |

is about 15 minutes after starting, add nuts and raisins. The only real gotcha on this recipe is deciding to add the nuts at the beginning or the extra ingredient cycle. Don’t add larger nuts at the beginning as that will interfere with development of the gluten.
