Today is Monday.
On Saturday, I hung the blocks of soybean paste that had been drying. For the next few weeks, they will dry further and ferment as part of their journey to becoming korean soup soy sauce. I also put the cured egg yolks into the dehydrator (they're still there) and started makgeolli. For the makgeolli, I steamed 1kg of glutinous rice for 45 minutes, dehydrated it at 135F for 3 hours, then mixed it with 200 grams of nuruk and 2 liters of water. I cannot say that the smell was pleasant, even the next day; very musty. But it's more watery today, and the smell has settled down a fair amount.
Also, on Saturday, I filtered out my orange extract. I just let it gravity filter through my aeropress with a standard paper filter. On Sunday, I filtered the raspberry extract. I've been pretty pleased with how the extracts have turned out; I'm also thinking of making mint, almond, and rose. Possibly anise? Today, I bought stoppers, airlocks, yeast nutrient, and several packets of wine yeast. I intend to make a gallon jug of mead and another of maple wine.
Last week went reasonably well for exercise, at least as far as running is concerned; I achieved 44 kilometers. This week, I'm aiming for 48 or 49. I didn't get any swimming done last week, and my shoulder pain dissuaded me from any strength training. I intend to take this week off from strength training as well, and reduce the mass by 5 or 10 pounds for each exercise for the following week.
