Well, it took a long time. A month with soycakes rotting in the basement. 3 weeks of drying them out. 2 weeks of finding a suitable jar. Now my project spends a couple of months in a jar filled with brine. It has only been in there for 12 hours but I could not resist tasting it. Very good so far! The roommate won't touch it.

Yes it smells terrible. Yes it looks like a combination of old brains in alcohol and rotting sewage. Yes it was a bitch to get this far, but lets hope that for MoM we have homemade soysauce.

I have watched the several stages of this process, I remember going down into the basement and my eyes started to water.

NO really who knew it took months to make soy sauce?

It doesn't sound any worse than making sauerkraut. --FLO--

And the smell is about the same.

I can't wait to try it.

Uh, we're expected to eat this?

Anthony Bourdain may show up at a MOM. You might want to start saving the little packets of soy sauce from your take out orders. Just sayin'
