Diggler Gets a Cleaning

Today I decided to clean out Diggler. I put him on a plate and became somewhat intimate with his inner bits. It turns out, he has 3 layers, which will be perfect to split him up when I give some away. He has a lot of sediment at the bottom of his jar, which was spilling into what I was drinking. I saved 2 cups of his liquid and then threw out the bottom part that contained the most sedimentary materials. I boiled some water, swished it into his jar to clean it, and then put the liquid back in, followed by Diggler. I also brewed up some new food for him and put that in when it was cool enough. He looks clean and healthy and tastes quite lovely. He has a ginger brew going on that I’m waiting for the second ferment on. I have great hopes for it! 

I think Santos will need the same treatment, soon. He’s quite large at this point and in several layers with a lot of sediment on the bottom. All his layers are so lovely and perfect though that I had to touch them. Perhaps I’ll use one or two as an experiment in Kombucha Leather. 

Ramirez, as always, looks horrid but tastes great.
