    In the days before fancy fermenting equipment was available, it was simpler to ferment foods. They are nice, but expensive, and should not be seen as a requirement to start fermenting. Open top crocks and a wooden mallet were the basic fermenting tools. The famous pickle barrel was also used. I imagine any food safe plastic container would be fine for starting out. Fermenting containers need to be clean, but sterilization is not necessary. (The job of the brine is to kill any bad bacteria, yeasts or molds. It is a wonderful chance of nature that the good bacteria thrive in the brine, but the bad bacteria are killed by it.) After the vegetable were loaded in the crock, brine was poured over them. Then, generally, a cheese cloth was placed over the vegetables, followed by a wooden lid, and a stone that had been cleaned and boiled. (We're talking about a 5 gallon crock or bigger.) All of this is kept below the level of the brine. Finally, another cloth (often burlap) was tied over the top of the crock to keep insects out. The brine would evaporate, so you checked the level regularly. Mold would definitely grow on top of the brine, but it does not grow into the brine. It was simply ladled off and tossed out. That is why it is important to maintain the brine level and salinity. It is important to maintain the right salinity in the brine. Too little salt will allow the bad bacteria to survive and spoil your food. Too much salt will lead to salt fatigue before the spring harvests begin. This is a topic in which the new ways are definitely better than the old ways. Different types of vegetables need different salinity levels. Because salt comes in so many forms today you need a scale to correctly prepare brine. The onions you prepared need a 5% brine solution. To prepare one quart of 5% brine you need to use 48 grams of canning and pickling salt. Salt is another topic. Table salt is not suitable as it contains flowing agents that may effect the fermentation. Canning and pickling salt is the right salt and the price winner. Sea salt? Well, all salt comes from seas, either wet ones or dry ones. The colors are impurities in the salt.

    I grew up on a small dirt farm in Washington state years ago and while we did have electricity we had wood heat and cooking, raised most of what we consumed, etc. but are diet was more limited than many modern homesteaders. All seed was saved from year to year and consisted of the basic vegetables. After leaving the farm when I first experienced snow peas or any lettuce other than iceberg I felt as though I was eating exotic cuisine😂 The only thing my mother ever fermented was cabbage in a big crock. I know everyone keeps telling us to ferment our veggies because it’s so good and so easy but no one explains the flavors or gives an exact recipe. When you tubers taste a ferment they always use the exact same word to describe the taste regardless of what they have fermented - it tastes amazing! It also seems that everyone avoids talking about too many specifics when it comes to recipes, I assume b cause they are wanting to convey how easy and flexible the process so anyone can do it. Back when I was in my late 20s and just getting interested in reviving some homemade processes in my life I managed to score a case of cucumbers and 10 lbs of garlic at an obscenely cheap price. Since I don’t care for store bought pickles (why does everyone think kosher is the only type of pickles?) I called my mom to find out how to make pickles (they taste more similar to Nalleys Banquet pickles which you can’t get on the east coast). She rattled off the process telling me ratio of vinegar and water, cucumber, dill, and the worst possible words she could say to me, “add garlic to taste.” My mind flew back to my childhood where us 6 kids would fight over who got the measly few cloves of garlic at the bottom of the pickle jar. Without stopping to think logically that the amount of each ingredient added affects the flavor I put 10-12 individual cloves in each quart jar, not even giving a passing thought to the fact that my mother put less than half that amount to a gallon jar. After processing had to wait 2 weeks before opening. My oldest son and I were right on top of it so when that 2 weeks was up we had that first jar opened in a flash. They smelled like pickles. Then came the first bite. They tasted just like . . . [cough, sputter]. There was a slight time lapse of probably around a second before the full impact of that garlic hit me. We had a good laugh over that. We did finish our initial pickle. I was going to toss the 14 jars I had canned but my son told me he would eat them but it would take him awhile. He said that as they aged the garlic smoothed out a little. I tried one a few months later and couldn’t tell the difference but he did indeed eventually eat them all. This is why I get a bit nervous thinking about just putting a bunch of this and grab a handful of this in with it. And when everyone says it tastes amazing that sounds like they all taste the same. Do fermented carrots with hot peppers and cilantro taste more like sauerkraut or like berry hot carrots or something else entirely? How about fermented onions? Do the have a sour taste to them or are they closer to tasting like a salty onion with some heat? While I love coiling without recipes, if it is something I have never tried I think I’ll have to stick with buying a book on it before I will be able to muster up the courage to try to ferment.

    I currently have those same issues too. So may I ask how did you do with eating your ferments? I tried eating a little fermented kraut I made from my own homegrown cabbages I made last fall and I believe it made my symptoms worse. I tried eating it twice, just a tiny tip of a fork full then quit, threw it out. So I decided that maybe the cabbage was too hard for me to digest and now I'm fermenting some cherry tomatoes to see how I do on those. I've been really wanting to ask someone who deals with the same digestive issues and ask if ferments helped them? I'm hoping to balance the bacteria in my gut and get rid of this awful gassy bloat torment.

    Last year after watching you ferment I decided to try it out. I ordered the mason tops and did up 6 pints of carrots. They all got that yeast on top, I wasn't sure exactly what it was 🤔 in case it was some kind of mold I threw them out 😕. I was so annoyed over wasting the carrots and knowing that i did just what i was supposed to do didn't have the nerve to try it again UNTIL I watched you do your peppers a few weeks ago. I did two quarts of peppers, onions, garlic, a few green tomatoes that were left in the garden and some home dried oregano. Oh wow it came out so good, we love it! Thanks Stacy 😁❤

    In the past when Granma made jam, she would lay a circular piece of parchment paper on the top before putting the lid on tight to store. This would protect the top layer of jam from growing mould, although if some did form it was easy to remove with the parchment... :) xx
