I make my own my placing peels in a plastic bottle to ferment.
Have some upstairs (just went, and)  checked on it.

On a bike ride I had forgot orange peels in sealed a plastic bag
it fermented ,  the goo is good to get up grease stains on hands

This day I needed it too

(I wear rubber gloves to fix a bicycle  since I play guitar, and bring it with me maybe I forgot that day
 or used gloves already for finding stuff in bike shop dumpster  )


I saved to post, didn't check inside the bottle of my homemade stuff (thinking I'd  have to destroy bottle )
but I did just  add more lime juice , and water to ferment it into a liquid, because of this post.

After checking just Now I Am 90% certain enough heat didn't build up, like did on my peels in plastic bag
 and not enough Juice to break down  they are solid   still
Surprisingly I opened, and it smelled fresh

I added left over pulp from sitting out old lime juice that should ferment
I do not plan to add walnut shell ground up , if I had access to a sand blasting material , but do plan to add sand.

If interested I will let you know how it turned out if it breaks down all the way or not
Should be Okay

I also have yeast (culture from wine)
want to see if it turns on it's own

I only added 5 OZ of lime juice (and a tad of water.)

Believe it or not Your spit has amylase in it
A starchy cracker in your Mouth will break down

I used spit to get that glue (kangaroo glue on Australian wine bottles ) broken down a little
I do not care to remove labels of wine bottles (I would just put labels over those, )
but used it for other glues on other glass stuff)

I wonder if that chemical would work for that sticky stuff (right in your mouth too/)
