SC - Kvas

[Morgan Cain]

Does the kvas-concentrate recipe use raisins to test the fermentation?  I
have one in a translated-from-Russian cookbook (starts with toasted or
dried-out black bread) that included three raisins in the ingredients.
Curious, I read on, and learned that when the bubbles are strong enough to
float them, the kvas is considered ready to drink.

I keep threatening/promising that the year I cook Russian for my dinner
night at Lillies, I will also make kvass.  It does need to be a year that I
can spend more than a weekend there (get skunked by a business meeting that
the person for whom I cover, attends).
