Yucca info please making own extract, powders and other wonderful plant aides

I would suggest the FPJ approach. I dug up a small plant, chopped it up, added an equal weight of molasses, and a shot of LAB to get it going. I let it ferment in a glass jar with an air lock for a week or two. Strain and use about a teaspoon per gallon.

I’ll probably add some LAB, molasses, and maybe a bit of water.

The microbes told me not to wash them off. They said to cut everything up small enough to fit in the growler, add some molasses and LAB, put on the air lock, and call it a day.

I finally got around to filtering the cactus fruit and yucca ferments. I am reusing these 250ml nutrient bottles for easy dosing and storage.

Here is how I made a powder. This was more effort, but worked really well. Once dry I ran it throght a sieve and added it at about 1/4 teaspoon per gallon.

I am already fermenting a yucca plant, so I decided to try some other methods of extraction. First I removed the outer skin from the root. For this I took a page from Bubbleman’s book and used my zester to separate the root from the fibers. Now it is drying on parchment paper in a pizza box. I still have more root, I am going to let it dry and save it for later.
