Re: Fermentation support thread :D
I love soups with kraut. My mom makes a dill potato soup that is just delicious!
Speaking of kraut, I checked on my crock today, and I think my 6 gallons is perfectly ready! Now I'm debating on what I want to do with it. My grandma always canned hers, but I don't really want to lose the super powers that is has right now. On the other hand, I don't have cold storage for it, and I don't want it to go bad. Thoughts?

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
If I put ferments in my crockpot on warm would that be to high of a temperature? I have three jars of dilly carrots that are ready but my saukraut I started weeks ago is still no where close and my salsa isn't ready either.

It would be too warm in mine. Mt "warm" setting is very warm.

They need freedom to just be fluffy mashed potatoes and feel their fluffy feelings.

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
okay what do you put in them to get them to ferment? i didn't add anythign extra to my pickles, the online recipe i foudn said you could just do it with extra salt, but i dont think they're actually doing anything.

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
Do any of you save your ferment juice and use it for something? Like with pickles, green beans or carrots that have a lot of juice leftover? Like make salad dressing? Or just drink it?

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
I've been using it with olive oil for salad dressing. On the GAPS diet you're supposed to drink it, but I haven't quite gone that far with it yet...

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
Another question: during the summer, I was leaving my dilly carrots for a week. It was likely 80-90 degrees. It's 65-70 now. Should I just add an extra day?

Re: Fermentation support thread :D

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
I just realized that my only ferment that has been ready in any reasonable amout of time since it started getting cool was the dilly carrots I put whey in and my sour cream. So I added whey to everything else tonight and I hope I will have some new ferments ready soon!

Re: Fermentation support thread :D
and you know dilly carrots are done when...??? I don't know what they're supposed to taste like. They taste great right now, kind of like carrot-flavored pickles, but are still crunchy... does that mean they're not done yet? How would I know if they're underdone?
