One of MANY ways to make Kvass. That reminds me, I need to go buy kvass..

I am russian. Once, there was a friend of mine from Bahrain, who tasted kvas for the first time. When I told him about the ingredients he said: "OMG, russians, you can drink everything and even food!" :D

LOL they censored the wet bread that was great

Oh hello Tetris

Really neat presentation of the recipe. Thanks!

Omg I love you for making this video. Квас!

Love the music and this series, thanks for putting in the effort to do this - editing is always on point :)

Aaahhhh!!! Lovely

Making in a liter quantity I found online somewhere else. Excited! :)

I lived in Ukraine for 7 months while doing volunteer work, and I have had soooo much kvass. Kvass is amazing, simply, and hard to find here in Denmark. I will try making my own some day! Thanks for the recipe!

Легкий рецепт. Нужно попробовать приготовить.

If that ain 't some fine homemade hooch then I dont know what is! #Delish

I wish Thirsty For would make Zobo. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

I love kvass and most important, homemade kvass was super easy to make and a lot more tasty and refreshing, than store bought, even if it was said it is "traditional".

i love квас in russia we have the drink in big wooden barrels and its really refreshing in summer :D

I am loving the remixed tetris theme in the background xD

The taste is definitely a hit or a miss. I personally looove it. It's yeasty, sweet, soda-like and also very kombucha-like

10/10 would not drink, but was definitely fun to watch.

This reminds me of my childhood

О, тархун черноголовский! ну золотой ярлык, конечно, куда без него)

Listening to the first bit of the song: "I know this song. Where is it from... Is it Russian Christmas Music? The Jazz Suite?" NO! It's friggin' TETRIS!

Fun fact: The reason people can legally use the Tetris theme as backing music or whatever without lawyers coming after them is that it's technically an Eastern European folk song, and is therefore protected under copyright law for fair use

I don't think this is how they make it in Russia, I believe the bread crumbs stay in on the bottom and get reuse kind of like Kombucha. Grandma told me you should get rid of first butch. I totally need to make it for summer. To me it taste like if you mix a very good quality apple juice with St. Pellegrino water.

Mmmm! Bread Tea!

Nice show, but is it contain alcohol? and the dry yeast is it active or i can use any dry yeast? your help please

I always start thinking who is the first person that says (in this case in particular): "who was the first person to say, let's go toast some bread, add sugar, raisins, yeast and see what happens?" Also, for bread: "let's take this plant in particular, grind it, mix it with eggs.."

Awww... that somehow reminds me of polish zakwas - the white borsch fermented soup base. The original name of the soup is: 'barszcz biały' but zakwas is also used in 'żurek' (both absolutely delicious, sweet/sour/umami rich flavors that I've never seen in any other culture than slavic). I'm thinking it would be a real challenge to convert it to vegan but how satisfying!

Those Russkies botulism can develop in any sealed jar or bottle that hasn't been cleaned properly, provided there's something the bacteria can be submerged under. Also if the bottle isn't sterilised it won't last very long before going mouldy

Nessa Fitzgerald *seamed* jar/bottle that's not being opened for a period of time. a plastic bottle like the one in the video is not seamed and allows oxygen to come through. oxygen = no botulism.

Прям захотелось :D

Lel...I was literally thinking that 1 and half cup is like 'wuut....how it make sense to be 11/2 *thinking it like 11 per 2* cup?'...xD My bad.

I liked the song. Reminded me of tetris

bread in a drink im okay with but raisins!! thats where i bail.

I wonder what this tastes like. (I don't like raisins, so of course all I'm thinking about is the raisin flavor.)

Haha, a guy came into my shop trying to make this. he didnt speak any english so i had a hard time helping him. thank god for google.

the tetris song is actually a russian folk song :D

I love these videos and appreciate the work that goes into them so thank you for another great video! But, I must say I could not get the scowl off my face as I saw the ingredients haha! You lost me at "yeast". And soggy toast... And a handful of raisins. Yes I know beer is made much that same way and I love a good yeasty sour dough but eh ew. I just, I can't ... Yeah, no.
