HOW LONG DO FERMENTS LAST? Tasting 7 YEAR-OLD Fermented Carrots!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

How long can ferments last?
While going through our fridge, we found a jar of fermented carrots from 2014, which means they’re SEVEN YEARS OLD! Instead of throwing them out, we thought why not do our typical smell, sight, and taste test to see if they’re still good.
Is there any mold? Is everything below the brine? Does it smell good? These are some questions we ask ourselves. If a ferment fails any of these questions, we’ll always err on the side of caution and throw them out.
Will they be crunchy? Will they still taste good after all this time? Are we really trying seven year old carrots?

    After cleaning out my great grandparents root cellar. We took out over 500 jars of pickled fruits, vegetables and even juices. Found out that most were over 25 years old and still taste like it should on recommended expiration date. I always check for mold and look for lids that are popped. Fermented/pickled watermelon rinds were nearly 30 years old and still delicious.

The only thing I'm a bit worried about though is ensuring that my fermentations are safe for consumption, like making sure no pathogens grow etc, as I've read that some unhealthy bacteria aren't visible to the eye. Would it be possible for you to make a video on how you manage this? For example how you regulate temperature when fermenting at room temperature and how you make sure the pH value is right? I might just be a little too paranoid...😅 Have a great day! x

    Thanks so much for the comment Lara! We'll have to make a video on that sometime. If you read some of Sandor Katz books it will put a lot of your fears to rest. Just make sure to keep everything below the brine for vegetable ferments, add salt to taste, and if you see any mold just throw it out and start over. Start out with something simple like fermented carrots or green beans. You could even try a ginger ale if you don't want to start with vegetables. It's pretty straightforward and people have been doing it for a LONG time. Start with the freshest ingredients and keep everything below the brine. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

    Great question! It would most likely spoil if left at room temperature for a long time. At room temperature, it will continue to ferment until it's pretty much at the end of the fermentation process, however many things could happen over time. For example, it could be more likely for some other bacteria to take hold, and you could get mold. In the refrigerator, at least the fermentation process is slowed way down.

Or should I make a separate batch all together and try a different type of vinegar on that one?

    Hello @The Fermentation Adventure. I have a question for you: a week ago, I bought an unpasteurized pineapple passion fruit juice with some added sugar. I never drank it, forgot about it, and after sitting on my counter for a week, it smells like it’s been fermenting, and there is carbonation. As long as there are no signs of mold, should this be edible?

    From Sandor Katz book The Art of Fermentation he's said that if you have a fresh sugary fruit juice that was from fruit hasn't been pasteurized, the natural bacteria and yeast that's present on and in the fruit should make a nice ferment as long as there's no mold. The flavor might be very different as well like when we made watermelon soda. After a day the taste was terrible! You'll have to decide that for yourself since you wouldn't know the sanitary practices of where you got it from also. Pasteurized juices that have been left on the counter without a starter culture and had a bad bacteria take over and make you pretty sick!

We've had some pineapples that ferment and doesn't taste so great so we've thrown it out and bought pineapples from a different source. If it's all good though, feel free to bottle it if you want carbonation or just move it right to the fridge. Sounds like you're on the right track though!

    If you are making beet kvass, how long would you allow your beets to ferment before straining the solids from the kvass? I've been doing 7 days, but didn't think my last batch was as flavorful as some I've done before, so I thought I might go beyond 7 days, but am curious as to what you consider optimum.

    Thanks for the question B.C.! We've had different batches behave a little differently. During the summer, I think seven days would be fine but when it gets cold out they seem to take a little longer. Really once you think the flavor is good for you, it should be good to go. It will just keep getting tangier the longer you go so it's a personal preference then. Just make sure to always check for mold etc. Happy fermenting!

    @@FermentationAdventure Thanks. You are right about needing more time when it's cold. I just strained the solids from my kvass and refrigerated the liquid after 12 days. I think it's never tasted better; also, there was no mold of any kind at the top. I had added black peppercorns, allspice seeds, coriander seeds, and a half teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the quartered beets, as well as Himalayan pink salt and distilled water, prior to fermentation.

    Thanks for the question Danesha! If you're ginger bug is ready to go we've gone a long time between feedings and it's still been fine. Once we put it in the fridge it slows the fermentation way down and almost puts it to sleep. It should be okay as long as you don't see mold etc and it smells and tastes good. Good luck!

    Thanks for sharing your "find" what was your salt ratio and how about that garlic ? I have dill pickles from over a year ago and they were AMAZING not even in the fridge just the end cold room in my basement. I made them decades ago by remembering how my granny made them ( Ukrainian) when I was a child and put them directly in the cold room and they were so hard and salty they preserved but did not ferment and I stupidly threw them out and wondered what I did wrong. Now I would of left them and pulled them out to ferment as needed. Does anyone else do this for long term storage? I also put things in cold storage before I think they are fully fermented as I think they will ferment slowing in the room. Which does get to 55 in the summer

She sounds like she knew what she was doing. It almost sounds like maybe she was actually pickling them with the salt. I bet they tasted great! 🥒😊

I started going thru your other videos giving me much inspiration. Being an inquisitive individual, I was curious about what brought you to this fermentation journey? Also, if you’re comfortable enough, would love some personal details (not too personal lol). Where are you from? Is fermentation part of your career? Do you work outside of your home? Your interests (other than fermenting)? I noticed a garden, love to hear more about that. Of course any other things you would be willing to share. I saw a beautiful cat in an earlier video, what’s his/her name? Making a video on just this, I believe would be super interesting. In any case, please keep it up! I really love your content and believe you could do so much more as you two are incredibly likable!

    What you have to realise is that this couple are PAID actors! Film companies lease certain quality premises so they can do these videos. Notice the camera work, too professional, what happens is they book the premises then move in putting stuff about to make it looked lived in, which is why there are weeks sometimes months between videos. I doubt they will be back, they would be onto other acting gigs by now.
