Hey! bread heads

At first I was like, that's a great idea, and then I was like, that's obvious now you say it
It's a win/win
Using up a waste product and freeing up valuable grain resrves for feeding humans

Actually, it would be even better if they didn't produce "waste" bread in the first place...
But that's the problem these days: because customers want (or are perceived to want!) constant availability of absolutely everything, including every type of bread, they have to over-produce, leading to other people having to jump through hoops to reduce waste...

Re: Hey! bread heads
That was my first thought, too. Then my second thought was, "I'm not sure how fussy I am about getting it 'right'." I'm going to give this a go! Cheers, Doofadave45 wrote:"Getting the recipe right took about a year."

Re: Hey! bread heads
I had a load of dry crusts sitting around waiting for me to turn them into breadcrumbs. I'm not very good at getting round to this job, so I had a lot of them. I followed the instructions (sort of - I'm not good with instructions) on this site: https://sites.google.com/site/yankeeharp/breadbeer, cut all my dry bread into little pieces, put it in a bucket with some herbs (bay leaves, rose bay willowherb tips, nettles and a little heather, if you're interested) and covered with water, which was just over half a bucketful, or about a gallon. My problem came when I tried to strain it a couple of days later. Bread absorbs water really well and doesn't like to let it go, does it? I'm using a small wine press, but it's not going well...

Re: Hey! bread heads
Hmm, well I hope no-one's planning to follow this trail, because the blazing isn't going too well. From my gallon of mush, I obtained - with much effort - a litre and a half of cloudy liquid, which I put in three PET bottles with half a teaspoon of sugar in each. More than two weeks later, the bottles are still squishable. I don't know what's happened to the yeast, but it's failing to eat the sugar I added. I'll give it a bit longer...
