Well, I've been reading about all of the benefits of lactobacillus, and I want to stop adding to my compost pile outside, so I decided to start up a few bokashi bukkits.
I did one 'cheating', and I dunno if it will work, but what the hell. I also started the culture for a 'real' bukkit, but that won't be ready for the next step for ~2weeks. Then 2 more weeks after I add the milk. Then 2 more weeks to cook the compost. Then 2 more weeks for the lacto bacteria to populate my soil bukkits. So I'll show ya how I started the culture, and how I set up the cheater bukkit. If the cheater bukkit doesn't work, I'll just chuck the whole mess into the compost pile to 'hot cook'.
Let's start with the culture.
Here is what I need for the culture, minus the 2qt sauce pan. Mason jar, lid with ring, coffee filters (metal one optional, but I already have it), rice. The dairy products are for the cheater bukkit.
I filled the mason jar with ~1/2 cup each white & short grain rice, and 1/2 cup oats. I put the coffee filter on for the pic, but I needed the sealed lid...
Then I heated up ~4cups water to ~160 deg, and poured into the jar. Shook tha shit outta it...
Here's what's left.
