A Geocaching Social event.
PLEASE LOG YOUR "WILL ATTEND"
Third Tuesday continues for another year. New format this year and new venues.
Our scheduled hours are always soft, the CO will usually be early and is always happy to hang around late. Frankly when we get going we often run later than scheduled.
PLEASE NOTE with your log if you do not expect to arrive until after 7:00PM, and I'll be sure to hold out for your arrival.
Kvass
Kvass is a fermented cereal-based low alcoholic beverage with a slightly cloudy appearance, light-brown colour and sweet-sour taste. It may be flavoured with berries, fruits, herbs or honey.
In the traditional method, either dried rye bread or a combination of rye flour and rye malt is used. The dried rye bread is extracted with hot water and incubated for 12 hours at room temperature, after which bread yeast and sugar is added to the extract and fermented for 12 hours at 20 °C. Alternatively, rye flour is boiled, mixed with rye malt, bread yeast, sugar and baker's yeast and fermented for 12 hours at 20 °C.
The exact origins of kvass are unclear and whether it was invented by Slavic people or any other Eastern European ethnicity is unknown, although some Polish sources claim that kvass was invented by Slavs. Kvass has existed in the northeastern part of Europe, where the grain production is thought to have been insufficient for beer to become a daily drink. It has been known among the Early Slavs since the 10th century. The first written mention of kvass is found in the Primary Chronicle, describing the celebration of Vladimir the Great's baptism in 996 when kvass along with mead and food was given out to the citizens of Kyiv. Kvass making remained a daily household activity well into the 19th century.
