      I have a quick question. So far my soy sauce is doing and smelling good, granted it is only one month into fermentation, but I've noticed some kahn yeast on top that I skim off regularly. Is it completely spoiled or will it taste fine in the end and all I should do is maybe do the heat it up to 90° end? Thank you in advance.

      First, thank you for the video and secondly, what is the difference between Korean and Japanese soy sauce in terms of taste? I noticed that the Korean one takes shorter time. I guess if one wants to do the Japanese sauce he will have to make it in bulk quantity. How long can be stored and consumed? any ideas ?

    I've got to say, never thought I'd get this emotional watching a video about making soy sauce. I think that says something about what we're going through at the moment (and have been through). Beautiful video, and so interesting to see the process! I don't think I'm brave enough to try this myself but I'll definitely be recommending this to a few of my friends!

    @howarddusseldorf 2 года назад +4

    lovely video. very informative. i just wanted to make one comment. boiling in the end is not just about preventing mold, but also to stop the enzymes from continuing to break things down. putting the sauce in the fridge will also do this.which you did. i believe the idea is that once it is fermented and tastes the way you want it to taste you boil it so it will keep the taste it has. thanks again for the video!! i really enjoyed it.

    @sishrac 3 года назад

    This was incredibly fascinating to watch. Not only is your Soy Sauce high quality but so is your video presentation. Kudos to you for pulling the project through despite the prevailing outlook on the past year’s invasion in the name of COVID-19.
    On that subject I hope the truth I'm about to say below will be freeing for you and your viewers as the notion is for me.
    The natural world we observe around us seems oblivious to man-made regulations. Trees, plants, fungi, animals and bacteria continue to do what they’ve always done as do water, sky, soil and rocks. In other words everything in the world except humans have been locked down.
    Yet for those of us who work with bacteria and fungus for fermenting or in the garden while composting and building rich soil the truth ought to be glaring at us. These living micro-organisms are not to be feared but rather to be appreciated for their symbiotic function of preserving life and for breaking down substances for maintaining an ecological balance that has been set in place by the Creator. It's a beautiful system that's been on auto-pilot from the beginning of time and therefore will continue until the appointed expiry date.
    Until that time anything unnatural or foreign to our ecology must reckon a vengeance from the natural system. Enforcement of wearing masks, social distancing, synthetic drugs and vaccines that cause genetic insults cannot lead to peace with our ecology.
    It is my hope that more people, especially those that work with nature's system at home and with the soil will wake up and realise that artificial enforcements create an unnatural environment. May we get real and have the courage to be on the side of nature.

Can we just make small chips of soy paste and then put it for fermentation and drain later? I was wondering that will just save time, would love to know what do u think about this. :)

    How does the taste compare to store bought soy sauce?

      It tastes and smells so good, very hard to explain. The flavor is richer and softer than the store-bought. I can really taste the soybean in it, but I taste mostly salt in commercial soy sauce.
