Quick help from fermenting mamas pls!
So, I tried my hand at fermenting for the first time last week -- turnips from the NT cookbook
It said to leave at room temperature for 2 days but I left it for 4 (my house is REALLY cold) The liquid looks a little cloudy and pink from the small amount of beets I put in there. The lids were puffed out under pressure. When I opened it an strong smell seemed to fill the room, before I even got the lid off . It doesn't smell horrible or anything. Just really strong. Dare I taste them? I was really looking forward to pickled turnips both to try fermented food but mainly because I absolutely love the pickled turnip that I get in Shwarmas from our local take out place. I really really want to get into fermenting but I'm so scared of poisoning myself And I was just thinking that I should get into Kombucha because I just saw a friend of mine has posted pics of hers on facebook and I could grab a SKOBY from her. ---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ---------- Anyone? |

Re: Quick help from fermenting mamas pls!
From what I understand, if a fermented food is BAD, it's obvious. Like, mold and awful stank so if the smell is strong but not BAD, I'd say they're safe to try. I made lacto fermented dilly carrots and the fermented green beans, and they all have that fermented taste to them.... it's distinctive.
And I just got into kombucha too... go for it! It's easy and fun (and the kids are getting used to it.... starting w/ the youngest and going up to the oldest )

Re: Quick help from fermenting mamas pls!
I actually make my kids try stuff first, so if I have a bad facial expression they don't pick up on it and not try it
