Re: Fermentation support thread :D
Yes, good!! In warm weather I "burp" my jars when I think about it and don't screw the lids on very tightly.

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
The blueberry preserves came out so yummy!!! I know my kids will eat them and hopefully not react to the whey. It's been only 24 hours but they taste fermented to me. The directions say 2 days but I think I'm going to transfer them to the fridge to make sure to avoid the alcohol taste I got when I let my salsa go for 36 hours instead. That won't mess them up will it?
---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 PM ---------- So far so good with this, I purreed about 8 cups of diced peaches and then cooked them down to about 4 1/2 cups so sort of the reverse of what she's doing with the dried fruit in the NT's butters I think (hope). They taste really good so far, they don't taste fermented yet though so I'm still waiting.

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
Oh good!!! I'm happy for you. It's so frustrating to go to tons of work and have it not turn out!

I made them before with whey and it was basically the same taste. So I'm guessing that's fine. If they are sour that's probably okay too...

Re: Fermentation support thread :D

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
Ok, my pickles have quite a "bite" to them, but they're not really sour yet. However, the water has gotten quite cloudy. Do I stick them in the fridge or let them go a little longer? They've been on the counter since last Thursday (so 1 week) and the house is about 75 degrees.
The dilly carrots have a milder bite, but are also not yet sour. They've been going since Saturday, so 5 days now. The jar foams every time I open it. DH says that's just not right!

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
I find dilly carrots are best after 7 days and then get better the longer they are in the fridge. However, they don't keep well after a certain point, it seems.

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
My kids really liked the pickles, they already finished one of the quart jars, I am contemplating putting more cucumbers back in the same brine to try again, it seems like it would still be good.

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
Okay, I'm curious. What is the difference between alcohol and other fermented foods? Does alcohol not have the probiotic benefit? And if not, why not?

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
I think you can make home fermented beer and wine that does have probiotic benefits but the storebought kind is too processed. Other fermented foods you are going for 'lacto' variety bacterias instead of alcohol. Sometimes with fruit stuff you may get trace amounts of alcohol depending on how well it went. I think that's way you have to have whey or a starter culture with fruit, to avoid making wine instead.

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
I'm avoiding my ferments. I've been distracted this week and most of them have mold on the top.
IIRC, I can just take the mold off and keep the rest... Right? |

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
right, though some survive that better than others. I have had cabage turn a really gross gray.

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
So no pickling cucumbers or good tomatoes at the farmers market. boo.
Depends on how they taste. Slimy I believe isn't good.
