​
Check it out, this is how I do it.
​
Step 1 -Take the first two washes off some rice. Cover this with a breathable cover like a paper towel and use a rubber band to hold in place.

Step 2 - This is the rice wash after sitting for about a week. It has 3 layers. The top layer is a thin skin and the bottom layer is kinda milky looking. We're going to scoop out the top thin layer and toss it out so its out of the way which makes it easier to pour off that middle layer and place the liquid into another jar.

Step 3 - After you pour out the middle layer of liquid, I use about an inch or two in a big gallon jar, then you add your organic milk and cover it again with a breathable top for about about week or until you see curds on top.

Step 4 - As the jar sits you see it start to separate and the curds start to float to the top.

Step 5 - After I separate the liquid I feed the curds to my dogs. They are great as it acts as probiotics for them. Great for their tummies. With the liquid you have left you can either store in the fridge as is to use or mix 50/50 with molasses which is a food for the bacteria you collected and makes it stable on the shelf for 3-6 months.
Once you mix it with molasses it’s very very important to burp your jar everyday till the activity settles down or your container could blow up. It takes a few days to start the building of pressure but you must burp it until the pressure stops building. Then use it 1:1000 ratio which is about 4 ml per gallon foliar or soil drench.
