The liquid has obviously been in my fridge since I stuck my first batch in there, is it okay to take it out and let it sit again while I ferment the second batch in it?

:bump because I'm still unsure of this question. I have a whole bunch of cukes waiting to be made into delicious pickle-y goodness. :yum

Re: Fermentation support thread :D

Did you just stick your new veggies in the juice and pull it out of the fridge to ferment? Did you add anything more (extra water/salt/etc.)?

I was making salsa and using some previously fermented peppers in it. I just threw all the juice in and acted like I was starting from the beginning with the salsa.

Any ideas on how to use up my celery?

I guess, but I think cilantro is essential in salsa personally :yum:giggle

I got a cabbage and a bunch of tomatoes today. Gonna make some sauerkraut and salsa!

(Since when did I start looking at vegetables and wondering about their fermentation potential? :shifty)

Re: Fermentation support thread :D

I think my pickles are almost done. I'm not totally sure though.....will they still taste pretty salty? Also, should I change out the brine when I put them in the fridge, or can I just keep them in the brine that they're in now? Oh, and can I just put a regular lid on my gallon jar to store them?

Re: Fermentation support thread :D

I keep reading all over the websites with recipes about how long this stuff keeps but mine doesn't seem to. My sauerkraut lasted about 6 weeks in the fridge, pickles 3-4 weeks, fruit stuff and salsa 2-3 weeks. It's not exactly inspiring me to make big batches of it. I wonder if I got some of the body ecology starter or if I used those special jars with the air pressure lock if it would last longer.
