Re: Fermentation support thread :D
One batch of pickles smelled good. The other two smelled off, so I threw them out. My green beans seem fine. One was moldy, one not.
Is the water supposed to be cloudy-ish? I wish I knew someone around here who did this so I could know what's normal. I am :nails to try this stuff. |

I think someone said cloudy means almost ready or ready...

I've made pickles and saurkraut now. We had the saurkraut with dinner tonight, and DH loved it. :rockon That's saying something b/c he's not always easy to please w/ food. :)
(Yes, the water is cloudy in mine. I really like Wild Fermentation. He has really great descriptions of each step that have helped me a lot.) I started water and milk kefir a couple days ago and they seem to be doing well so far. :phew |
Re: Fermentation support thread :D
Good (about Wild Fermentation) because I'm like #20 on the library wait list for that book. I can't wait till it's in!
My milk kefir has been sitting out for a long time (maybe 9 days?). :doh Totally forgot about it. I hope I didn't ruin the grains. :sigh |

I see a pickled pepper recipe in NT but not a spicy pepper one. I'm thinking about the jars of jalepenos you can get in the store and put on nachos and stuff and wondering if I can do a lactofermented version?

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
I'm having ferment troubles. :( GAH! I had to throw out pickles last night. Didn't even get to try them. :(

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
I lacto-fermented sarano peppers. They ruled!

ugh! were they submerged? That seems to be our biggest trouble with pickles. How often did you checke them? I have found that checking things often helps me notice problems early enough to solve them without having to throw stuff out.

Anyone doing salsa?
I let my salsa go 3.5 days, with varying degrees of salt, as an experiment. Even the full salt ones had some mold, but just a small amount to skim off the top. The directions said 2-3 days, and it is on the warm side in here (80+ degrees most of the time). I guess I shouldn't have tested the boundaries quite so much! |

New pickle Q: I found some more dill and pickling cukes but the only sea salt I could find is iodized sea salt - will that be okay? |
