Anyone else know anything about this?

Since writing this, I have been using Kombucha for my soaking acid and that cuts down on the bitterness, too. I think my baking soda is old though - should replace it! Thank you, Joanna!

My problem was old baking soda. You use the baking soda to neutralize the Cider Vinegar, but if it's old it won't really work. My suggestion is buy a small baking soda box and use that.

I took that instruction in the manual very seriously when I got my Vita-Mix. When my machine shut off, I was using the wet container, following the above referenced recipe, to grind 2 cups of corn with about 1 cup of liquid. I didn't see that happen when using the dry container. Did you read <strong><a href="http://gnowfglins.com/2008/11/10/cornbread-experiment/" rel="nofollow">here</a></strong>? I tried the cornbread one more time after writing this post. I hope to try again soon! I've had a busy month and now have some time again to experiment. Thanks for writing! I am curious about your website and am going to check it out now. :D LeaAnn,

They recently re-designed the dry container to be smaller than the wet container because people were attempting to grind more than 4 cups at a time. Personally, I don't grind more than two cups at a time. I'd like to hear how your cornbread came out after you leave out the baking soda!

Sorry to hear about your problems though. We have a couple gluten intolerant people in our home too - as well as my daughter being unable to have dairy and egg whites. What I do is soak the grains (for waffles - I like to use brown rice, quinoa, oats etc...mix 'em up together) in lemon juice for the overnight soaking. In the morning I blend in the other ingredients and cook. I have never experienced the soapy after taste though. At times when I use quinoa I do encounter the bitter after taste but have found ways to counter that factor. Try the same ingredients with lemon juice and see if that helps. Many blessings to you and yours- Love, Cammie Dear Wardeh,
