Brad please make south indian Dosa (a crispy rice-lentil crepe). It is made from fermented rice batter and is served with spicy potato mash within.

I don’t ferment anything or perform anything I learn in these videos, but ‘It’s Alive’ is one of my go-to series when I’m by myself or even hanging out with friends.

Love the tree bit, perfect timing with him looking over his shoulder.

This whole thing started with me just watching Brad while i was stoned... and now i'm investing in fermentation gear xD

Where is the Brad Makes Salt video? I'm waiting.

Good pronunciation of refractometer, Brad! Also, besides the bottles, you can get refractometers, fermentation jars, Star San, pH strips, lids and air locks from your local homebrew supply shop! Amazon's great, but support your local guy.

Braaddd and Viiiinny sittin in a tree. F!-E-R-M!-E-N-T!-I-N-G.

[DasAlbatross]

I don't need to go out and make friends. I've already made a friend named Brad and he's the best and we're going to cook together forever!

[brandoncaughron]

A few things I would like to see made, pickled beets, pickled eggs, and maybe soy sauce.

[eyespy]

Brad is a straight up national treasure

[pooripantra]

[elizabethshaw]

My grandmother fermented in glass jars with lids and I have always done the same. Four generations and nobody has ever gotten sick a glass jar has never broken nor a fermentation ever failed. :-) Brad I think you're absolutely awesome!

[judithknevitt]

Brad, I would love to Learn about Sour Dough ! I keep killing mine .. What to do when it won't grow?

[Bobs_Sauce]

Brad & Vinny, Matty Matheson, and Babish are my top three favorite cooking channels. The food tube game is strong with these guys.

Nearly two months ago I started watching Brad and it's alive, and I decided to try my hand at making pickled carrots with a spicy bread and butter brine. I finally opened them tonight and surprisingly they're really good! I'm genuinely surprised they turned out!
Thanks for all the tips Brad!
