How do i culticate lactobacili for organic farming?

Question

using milk, brown sugar or molasses, vokda, beer

Answer 1

You can purchase your Bacillus cultures from many laboratories and they always provide information to use and manage their product. Below is a great info site with many links. As a post script, going to any old long used country farm producer of many milk products, as with the old European cheese makes, their bacillus is so environmental now from long years of production, that the high quality products are naturally always there and they owe their livelihood to the special variations that culture their products and fall from the air, from the roof rafters, like manna from heaven, in a sense. Just to go there you can get a sample of their special products and culture your own.

Answer 2

Take the milk, brown sugar, and molasses, add a little flour, and make some cookies. Drink the vodka over ice with the a beer chaser and chow down on the cookies.

Answer 3

somehow i don't see how chilli peppers answer helps so i will try my best. first of all it would be nice to know what the cultures are for at this point i know of tree reasons:

1. organic yogurt

2. compost culture

3. some kind of proactive pest control ( which i know exist but know very little about)

the problem here is that for each posibility there is a different solution. if you want to make yogurt you want to use plain milk and add some nature yogurt (unsterilized) or special culture. a little sugar could help but too much is going to favour other bacterias to grow which you don't want.you should then incubate the mix at about 37°C ( room temperature will work as well but will take longer).

however since you include vodka and beer to the list is suppose its for composting and you want a mixed culture of lactobacilli and yeast in which case you might want to try something like cultivating sourdought / silage extracts.

at this point i should point out that yeast like alcohol and can metabolize it however alcohol is toxic to (most) bacterias so you don't want to add any alcohol to lactic bacteria.if you want a mixed culture and don't want to try the sourdought idea you can still cultivate both seperately. yeast are easy to cultivate, molass or sugar water will do fine however if you want to have  pure cultures you have to do all the work in a sterile environement since almost every MO out there grows on sugar.  as i said i would really help to know why the cultures are made for..

hope this helps
