Ross of OttawaAlert! If you feel like having <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/overnightOats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#overnightOats</a> tomorrow morning, and it's evening or afternoon where you are, now's a good time to do that. I've been meaning to do it for a Sunday morning for ages and I keep forgetting. K reminded me, so I'm getting that together.

Belle (she/her)Interested in the logistics of growing oats in a home garden - how much is the minimal amount of space you’d recommend?

Ross of OttawaWhile psyllium was unavailable I was buying oat bran fibre. I saw something called just 'oat fibre' today too - here's a good article that explores the benefits for using it in your baking. It has shelf-life, texture and flavour benefits. I'm a fan of all things oat-related as they seem to be quite healthy and tasty. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/oats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oats</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/baking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#baking</a><a href="https://www.grainmillers.com/oat-fiber-vs-oat-bran-whats-the-difference/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.grainmillers.com/oat-fiber-vs-oat-bran-whats-the-difference/</a>

just a mere cat 😷 #LütziLebt :vegan:Based on science (see above toot), I concluded that you can make <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/oat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oat</a> milk using diastatic <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/malt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#malt</a> (aka. active baker's malt), since malt naturally contains the enzyme <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/amylase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amylase</a>, which breaks down starches into sugars. While <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/sprouting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sprouting</a>, the berries produce this enzyme to digest the starches.Producing malt from cereal berries is easy and doesn't require special equipment, but it takes some time. However, you don't need a lot of malt, so you don't need to do this often.- Sprout some cereal berries. You don't need one of these fancy sprouting glasses -- a nutbag or muslin cloth (which you need to make plant milks anyway) is all you need; you'll find instructions online. Sprouting takes a few (3-5) days, so plan ahead. - Spread the sprouts on a baking tray and bake them at 50-60 °C (= 122-140 °F) until the grains are completely dry. - Pour the flour into a box and keep it in a fridge.Traditionally, malt is made using <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/barley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#barley</a> (which contains a lot of amylase), but you can also make it with other grains. For <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/oats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oats</a>, however, you need to use "naked oats".<a href="https://todon.eu/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/oatMilk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oatMilk</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/oatDrink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oatDrink</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/recipe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#recipe</a>

just a mere cat 😷 #LütziLebt :vegan:Note that the method of sprouting and drying is similar to the traditional technique of malting, which is used for <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/beer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beer</a> production. (Has any home brewer on here ever tried to make <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/malt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#malt</a> out of oats?)I think sprouted oats can also be ground right away and left for amylase/phytase fermentation. Alternatively, the flour-water mixture could be heated to 60-70 °C, which is the preferred temperature of the amylases. This would also gelatinize the starches, which eases the break down of the starches. The hydrolized mixture could be e.g. used as the basis for oat drinks.Another paper / PhD thesis focuses on sprouting different kinds of oats:🔓 <a href="https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=8438&context=etd" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=8438&context=etd</a><a href="https://todon.eu/tags/homeBrewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeBrewing</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/oats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oats</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/sprouting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sprouting</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/fermentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fermentation</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/amylase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amylase</a>

just a mere cat 😷 #LütziLebt :vegan:The enzyme Amylase is used to break down starches into sugars -- a process known as Hydrolysis. This is e.g. required in the (industrial) production of (durable) oat milk. Industrially, amylase is produced using bacteria, but enzymes also naturally occur in grains. Basically, their original purpose is to "feed" the sprouts and the growing 'baby plant'.In conservation with other anarchists, we agreed that every revoluzer should get -- among other things -- some tasty oat drinks. However, can we also do so without being reliant on <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/BigBioTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigBioTech</a>? Perhaps a distributed, small-scale production of enzymes -- akin to the <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/OpenInsulin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenInsulin</a> project (<a href="https://openinsulin.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://openinsulin.org/</a>) -- would be the best solution in the long term. In the meantime, we could try out some <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/LowTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LowTech</a> solutions.Indeed, there's a technique that exploits the natural production of enzymes in sprouting seeds, in particular oats:- Let oats sprout - Ground the seeds - Filter through two layers of cheesecloth - CentrifugateThe technique was explored in the following scientific paper. In particular, they optimized over various variables (such as sprouting time and acidity).<a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2014.10.018" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2014.10.018</a><a href="https://todon.eu/tags/enzymes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enzymes</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/oats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oats</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/oatMilk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oatMilk</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/oatDrink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oatDrink</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/sprouting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sprouting</a>
