Production of MK 5 from EM-Concentrate

Effective Microorganisms, fermented with garlic, chilli pods, alcohol, water and fermentation vinegar.

MK 5 doesn´t fight off vermin but prepares beforehand: It strengthens and helps the natural resistance against parasites and fungal attack.

1. Mixture ratio

10 % EM-Concentrate

10 % fermentation vinegar with 6% acetic acid (use fruit or wine vinegar)

60 % water (use spring water or good tap water – not chlorinated)

10 % sugar-cane molasses (dissolved)

for 10 l add approx. 7 medium cloves of garlic and 7 chilli pods.

After successful fermentation – when no gas is being produced – add 10 % alcohol (40% vol.)

Dissolve the molasses in a food safe plastic container (with bung) with some hot water (80 °C) and fill up with the rest of the water (total of approx. 40 °C)
Add vinegar and EM-Concentrate and allow to ferment at 32-37 °C, until there is no gas is being produced.
After successful fermentation, add 10 % alcohol (40% vol.).
MK 5 has a sweet/sour smell (ester/alcohol).
MK 5 should be stored in a dark, cool place with a constant temperature, but not in a refrigerator or direct sunlight. The area should be free of electronic interference.
