Laura, you dont know how helpful your recipes and thoughts are for me,thanks so much for sharing your wisdom with us. I am very new to soaking but recently read and found some new info suggesting not to use dairy products to do so, since the effect could be contrary of what we are looking for. So I am in roadblock, trying some of your recipes soaking only with water instead. Anyway…if you have thoughts about this would be great. Here a youtube link I found on this topic.

Yes, it’s definitely safe. Raw buttermilk is alive with healthy bacteria so won’t cause any problems. :)

Just read this article…is it ok to use raw buttermilk to sit all night?? Just starting w/ the raw milk, and wanted to make sure! Thanks

You can leave it on the countertop overnight while it soaks. It doesn’t hurt a thing – the dairy is cultured, therefore filled with wonderful, good bacteria. :)

Do you refrigerate the stuff you are soaking or leave out?????

Interesting, I don’t know! I’ve not done any soaking with whey, I usually use buttermilk or kefir. :)

I am a Sally Fallon fan too! In her book she says to soak oats in whey, buttermilk, kefir, or yogurt–but for wheat she doesn’t mention whey. I’m wondering why she omitted it. Have you soaked your wheat in whey before? I’m trying to find ways to use this quart of whey!
