Over the years I let my pickling/fermenting go.... methinks it's time to start up again now that I am retired.👍😋😍

[@jamshidnikkerdar2074]

Great 👍

I’m going to make a smaller version of this, once my kim chi is out of the crock on Tuesday. I’ll be using tomatoes, capsicum, chillies, cucumber and a corella pear that seems to be full on tannins. Cheers

Sauerkraut is good for your immunity too I guess all fermented food works well

thank you love from karnataka india !

[@mondraymondo]

What a good idea!

[@meganyoung5804]

Great episode. Just one question - if I was going to ferment carrots (as was mentioned) and possibly beetroot as well would I chop, slice them or grate them ie how small do the pieces they need to be. Thank you

[@WibblyWobbly]

They can be anything, it doesnt affect the process. Only that big chunks will ferment longer. I cut them in stick, fox example. Just because i like to eat them that way.

hi guys, its lovely to see this video, im gonna give a try. if using the big crock pot, should I have to leave it under the sun or should i avoid sun light? how about in a small glass of jar, should it be in the fridge our just in the pantry? 😇

[@FionaRyanTIFFINbitesized]

I wouldn’t put it in the sun. Fermenting works best in an a temperature stable environment (similar temp during the day and night) which is why many people store this in their garage. I make smaller quantities so just allow the ferment to happen in my walk in pantry. Don’t put it in the fridge as that will inhibit the ferment.

"Any salt will do" I always thought that using salt with anti-caking agent would inhibit the fermentation process.

Good point! Not sure but I’ve also heard the same...

Yeah I don't think it's a good idea that he's giving the raw mixture to his kid. Alot of those plants shouldn't be eaten without being cooked or fermented, and it'll taste different when it's fermented anyway so there isn't a point trying it before hand :/

[@Killthebatsman]

I don’t think there is an issue with the mixture being raw but you’re right that there isn’t a point tasting it prior to fermentation

[@shawnsg]

What exactly in the mix can't be eaten raw? As far as taste goes, it's going to constantly change flavor up until you eat it all or throw it out since the fermentation process never stops.
